Would you pay $20 for this Free Spirit?

I hope you good folks aren't getting tired of this newbie's questions, but I'm learning I promise. As the header says, would you pay 20 bucks for this Sears Free Spirit bike. Thanks for your help.

If you want it for your self the price is good for resale $50-$75 in most area IMO.

I really don't think I would want to keep the bike. So, my takeaway (sorry, been in too many dang company meetings ) is if I buy the bike, install tires/tubes, put some elbow grease and real grease in the bike, I'll have to much money in it if I ever want to sell the thing. That doesn't seem to be a good idea, correct? Maybe I should save the 20, and add it to some for a better bike.

Looks nice. Keep in mind if it needs tubes and tires, your cost will be quadruple the initial investment.

Yeah, bad investment.

Thank you much folks, y'all are the best. I'll skip this one. You know I've found one thing about collecting bikes. Your first one is like a hit of crack, and you just can't stop. I guess they're right, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem..........Hi, I'm Jim, and I like old bikes.........

No thank you! Save your money and buy something better.

Their called space takers. Unless you really like the bike and ride it, its just taking up space you could use for a better bike that you will want to keep.

For whatever reason..............................and I don't think it's the bike itself , but I would personally feel weird riding a bike called a "Free Spirit " Always passed on these . Just my 2c. worth.
