Is it coaster brake, or fixed gear? It does look like a tidy bike.
I don’t know anything about the brand or model, so can’t help you with value, but in the right market that could get you a small profit.

No. The dropout details (where the wheels are attached to the frame) are absolutely the cheapest and weakest type, that’s a clear indication that it’s not a serious bike. This bike is essentially junk.

It’s actually worth less. You overpaid.
BUT
Since you have a little triple-triangle happening get some GT stickers for it and then post it over on /xbiking and half the sub will lose their shit and fight each other for it.

This one is in relatively good shape.
It might be worth something to someone who had one as a kid. Your target market is people born in 1957.

While you won’t necessarily profit, this would be a great bike to learn how to tear down to the frame and reassemble. It’s very simple, and would actually ride pretty nicely once done. The biggest downside is that saddle, honestly. These kind of bikes make great commuters.

Nope.

Sell the parts individually like the handlebars and seat for $10. Fenders , kickstand

Put it on Facebook marketplace. There’s value here. Tires look good. Wheels look good. People always need those. Seat looks great. Has handlebars. Crank doesn’t look too rusty. Kickstand looks good. Even has fenders. I would offer like $30 for this bike if I saw it because I can use a lot of the parts on it right now. I would be pretty happy with that based on what I can find in my area

You knowingly bought an AMF product.
Well, honestly, if you get it real shined up, you’ll get more than what you paid, but not much. It has a certain charm, and I think it would sell alright as a vintage cruiser.
It’s a cheap basic bike who’s value lies in its utility.

Maybe by the pound…
But seriously – if you really are into bikes it is a weirdly cool thing to piddle around with.

If you clean it up and get in to nice riding shape someone might give you $50-60. Not a great ROI, but still fun to play with.

Buy a cheap but matching colourful seat and handle grips combination and chuck it up on Craigslist…advertise it to the hipsters… you’ll get $120 easily

If the tires hold air, it’s worth whatever a rideable pleasure bike is worth in your area. IF it was mine, ivwould polish the paint, install a new chain, repack the bearings and list it on FB market for $150.

Would make a decent beach bike or try to sell it on some vintage or nostalgia site. Somebody who had that bike as a teenager would probably want to have one again just to go for a ride once in a while.

Maybe if you sell it for scrap.
But it looks like a fun bike! Enjoy!
