Its very clean and shiny, but not everyone is looking for a 50 year old, 3 speed bike, with steel frame, as well as steel rims, steel brakes, and cottered cranks. Also your buyer needs to have a long inseam, which limits your market.

Hang it up in the monthly buy/sell thread over at r/xbiking and get top dollar for it.

Love Raleigh 3-speeds and have two of them. Something like this would list for $150-$200 in my area and may take a little while to sell.

The Sports and Superbe models are usually more sought after, but this is in such great condition.
I’d list it at $125 and see what happens. Expecting more is possible, but more headache than I’m willing to deal with.
The cranks/chainring are a big selling point for this bike, make sure to include a good picture in the ad.

Are you in the US? The prices mentioned are about what I’d expect here in the midwestern US, $100-150. We do an annual 2 day ride on 3 speeds on Minnesota/Wisconsin border. 2 long days of puttering around at a leisurely pace with pie involved. Those are still awesome city bikes. Not for everyone, but they have a following and are sought after by a few people. It appears to be ready to ride.
