Got some bikes I'm hoping to sell/trade at a swap meet, need help on pricing

[Bike from the Dead]

Hi guys. I've got a few bikes that I'm planning to take to Buddy's Pedal Fest in Pleasant Hill, MO on the 18th, but I'm not sure how to price all of them. I want to know how much they're worth, plus how much I could realistically expect to get for them.

First are these 2 10-speed Raleigh Capri bikes my Dad won in a sales contest back in about 1990. They both share the same tire size, 27" x 1 1/4", but this first one is a slightly taller frame than the other. It also isn't in as good of shape as the other. They are both still functional, though this first bike will need some work. Can't say I know much else about them, though.

Next is an October 1967 2-speed Schwinn Deluxe Racer, with most if not all of the original parts. It has a Panasonic dynamo-powered headlight and taillight, though the headlight doesn't turn on currently, most likely because of a bad wire. The taillight still lights up, though. The bike is rideable, but it could use a new chain and probably some new grease as well. I don't know for sure how much this bike is worth, but I feel like out of all the bikes I plan to sell/trade, it's possibly the most valuable. I could be wrong, though.

Next is this Murray-built Sears Roebuck Free Spirit MX bike. It looks to be mostly intact, but it is missing the front fender, a chunk of the rear fender, and one green valve stem cap. There is some surface rust here and there, with the worst being on the springer fork. I've been told this bike could still be worth $150 to the right person, but I'm not sure.

Another bike I'm planning on parting with is this 26" Schwinn Hollywood built in March of 1965. I had planned to clean this bike up with an O.A. bath and some new grease, but I never got around to it. It's actually pedals smoothly as is, it just needs a new chain. It still has one of the original Schwinn tires on it, but I bought 2 new replacement tires that I intend to include with the bike. I think I spent about $40 on the tires, so if I could make my money back on those, that'd be great.

The two speed Schwinn is pretty cool

How can you tell? I always thought it was a 2 speed.

The cable on the 2 speed is in a metal sheath and is clamped to the frame in a few spots. The shifter is different, No more manual 2 speed in '67 only automatic. If you are only finding 2 gears when you ride it needs adjustment. Those 3 speed hubs are hard to kill.

Okay, good to know! Looks like I'll have to take it for another test ride tomorrow to make sure! Thanks!

When you have it correctly adjusted you will be able to freewheel when between 2 and 3

Those Raleighs are in good shape, but on the low end of their line and heavy for a lightweight. The framesets would make good singlespeed or fixed gear conversions that would not weigh a ton without the low end componentry and steel wheels. Check your local CL for pricing on similar bikes and go a bit lower to move them.

Okay, thanks. Odds are my parents will just put them in a garage sale for $20-$30, but it never hurts to learn more about them beforehand.

I took some similar bikes to my first swap meet... I overheard a few comments about these "garage sale bikes" The guys at these swap meets are typically looking for higher end vintage bikes... No offence, but you'll be lucky to have any offers on any of those besides maybe the MX... I had some more desirable vintage parts that I sold, but barely made enough to cover my swap space rental, and a a few odds and ends I bought for my own projects.
The only ten speeds that sell or extremely high end Italian ones, or the highest level Schwinns (Paramount, World Tour, etc.)

I would say $35.00-$45.00 range.. Cool old Raleigh.. Good luck.. Razin..

The Sturmey-Archer shifter should say 3 speed, but yours looks to be worn off.. Good luck.. Cool bike..

Those 3 speed hubs are really easy to adjust too.. I'd say $75.00 for the Schwinn.
