Lets make a thread of what's NOT collectable

[rideahiggins]

For all the new people lets make a thread of what's NOT collectable and is generally worth less than $80.
First up 1980's Sears Free Spirit, men's or women's.
My local value $25-$50.

1980's Huffy Roadside Cruiser. My local value $60-$80

The Newer Stingray choppers!!! CL is riddled with them! Ranging from $50-350!

Schwinn Hollywood, most colors other than levender, red, or pink are all common and yet people want gold for them.

Schwinn Sting-rays from the late 70s. Except for a very small cult following, I cannot see these tacky and neutered "muscle bikes" EVER having any value. They are a funky mix between muscle and BMX and a time when muscle bikes were dead and the Schwinn Sting-Ray was the only one left and it couldn't keep it's identity intact.

Certain Huffy light weights of the late 80s and early 90s. Yes, retro light weights are sellers now, and easy to flip. But sometimes there are bikes to ugly that we just have to do our duty and put them out of their agony. I have seen some fugly tri-tone light weights in various shades of pink, purple, magenta, and white. Sometimes with hints of green or blue. They all looked atrocious and I dare not post a photo.

ok, here;s a link to an ebay listing on one of those nasty 10-speeds.

"Ugly little spud, ain't he?"
"I think he heard you, Ray."

Ugly spotted/splatter paint job Huffy's

Ah yes, those ugly spotted/splatter paint job Huffy's. If they aren't at least an 8 out of 10 they go straight in the scrap. Otherwise for the 24" ones I can get $45 only because the Amish kids ride them to school.

Almost any mass produced bicycle made in the 1970's or later. It does not matter what brand, they were made as throw away bikes. Also known as department store bicycles.

I don't know about that.
I have some Chinese items that are quite valuable to me!

I second the Schwinn chopper post! can't stand seeing them anymore on CL and people want $400 for some! Then they throw crappy Chinese motors on them and call them cool....(shaking head)
