I am wanting to sell a used adult bike with some accessories (a camelbak and a helmet). I don’t think the bike is worth much but the bicycle blue book doesn’t list this brand (genesis from walmart) and other calculators are pricing it at $50+ even in poor condition (not ridden much, tires need to be replaced). I don’t think it cost more than $180, if that, when I bought it 4 years ago.

If anyone could point me in a good direction I would be grateful.

I am in the USA.

    Low end bikes like that just don’t have much value used. They are generally considered disposable. Still if it is in good ridable shape you might get $50. Some times you cant give them away… Used helmets are iffy to the buyer. You never can be certain they are in good safe condition, even if they look nice. A nice camelback might be worth more than the bike and helmet!

        All bicycle helmets I used had no functional padding to speak of. There were strips a few mm thick at the places where your head touches the helmet but I don’t think that’d be significant in a crash.
