I'm a newbie, and frequent drunkposter, so please take the following with grain of salt:
An item is worth whatever two parties agree upon. My mostly-middleweight Schwinn hoard is worthless to most, but priceless to me. I may have "overpaid" for stuff, and I'm content with that. Most of my crap was dirt cheap. I'm neither a speculator or a flipper.
In 2018, I attended a deceased midwestern collector's estate auction (RIP Larry!). Most showroom-quality bikes and projects sold for less than $100 American.
I'm of two minds regarding this situation. I can generally spot a "what's it worth?" query from a fleeting newbie poster from a hundred yards. No one wants to leave money on the table, right? The bike in question will likely end up on Eb*y or F*cebook, or wherever will net the highest return (hopefully the CABE classifieds). Few of these Google "Schwinn Phantom worth" cellular telephone fleetposters will stay, but greetings to those who do!
Sell me a Panther, cheap plz
