amf bicycle owner wants 250 good or bad?

[heartlandcruisers]

well I am stumped as to what this one is the owner says it is a 1960's amf but I have never seen one of these.
it looks to be more 70's and I feel their cheese fell way off their cracker thinking it is worth 250 but I have been and very well could be wrong.
she says the headlight is rare but the headlight is irrelevant to me as I am more concerned what the entire bike is worth.
any thoughts or ideas as to what it is or what it's worth and is 250 a good price or has the American pickers craze already struck yet another state.
thanks
Sean

looks like Farmer Brown ,
done put the barn paint on it..
I would appraise it at $20.

Id pop on it for 50., the frame is really solid, paint is so so but its there., original seat..seats worth 20 bucks. decent bars and if the light WORKS., maybe 20-35 on the light [by itself] I dont see much "rarity" concerning it., but I dont collect AMF or Muscle either. maybe 75., but only if I was to keep it. at fifty., theres a little room to flip all cleaned up.

I wouldn't call anything on that bike rare. Like FZ said, the seat might bring $20. If the light says "Schwinn Approved" on it somewhere, that might be worth a few bucks. But condition is just not there on this bike. My top price if I liked it and planned to ride it... $30, maybe

Low spoke count, short crank, low gearing, no style basic diamond frame little kid's bike. If I had a kid who wanted a banana bike, I might go as high as the original price of $49.95

yeah I figured their cheese done fell wayyy off their cracker on this one.
I have no interest in it whatsoever just figured I would check and make sure I am not missing anything on it thanks flying zombie

I agree I figured it was way overpriced thanks ozzmonaut like I said before their cheese done fell way off their cracker on this one

Good for them, if they find a sucker to part with $250!

Sentimental value to him maybe. Worth that in his own mind. I've had this issue with a seller before. Your memories are worth more to you than anyone else.

This bike is presently on our local craigslist at 65.00

yup t is In the by sell trade on facebok locally im still not sure about this one

I would try and score the light for $20 if it's a Delta, otherwise not worth messing with even if you had a kid to give it to, there are much cooler framed banana seat bikes to be had....
