Is a woman's Zenith that is in reasonably good shape (like a 6 out of 10) worth $150? Was thinking about picking one up but not sure if it's worth as much as they are asking. Sorry no pics yet. Thanks!

Is the same Zenith that was made by CCM for Marshal Wells department store?

Yes I think it's a Marshal Wells Zenith. It has a skip-tooth so I'm guessing it's a pre 50s??

@bricycle - What do you mean "Drop stands" ??

most pre- WWII bikes had a "long U" shaped rear stand that would drop down and around the rear wheel to support the bike. (before side "kick" stanks were used).

I've never seen a CCM zenith with a skip tooth chain; doesn't mean it didn't happen. If it's Canadian it would have the serial numbers at the top of the seat tube, left hand side. the letter in the number would tell you the year.
The only difference between a regular CCM and the Zenith was a different head badge and chain ring.

Got ya, that's what I thought you were saying but didn't want to presume being I'm so new to classic bikes 
So are you saying the bike itself would be $65-$80 or just the drop stand would be worth that much? My guess is that this bike isn't worth as much as they are asking but wanted to be sure especially considering the paint, crank and bars are relatively rust free and pretty decent looking. Thanks again for you help, greatly appreciated by this budding collector slash newbie.

Just a drop stand... If that bike is anything like a Raleigh...they hold value. (I know zip about inports).
I learn stuff on here every day...except how to stop buying stuff!!!

It definitely has a skip-tooth... That caught my eye right away. Not 100% sure about the Marshal Wells, will be taking another look at it this weekend hopefully.. Will work on pics and a serial number.
