Beginner cyclist in the market for a commuter bike, how does this used Italvega look and is it worth its asking price of $200?

Yes.
Way more than I would pay for a 70s bike.
Is this your rosebud?
Not worth anywhere near that much. Cottered crank, suicide brakes, stamped dropouts with claw derailleur, steel wheels; these are all marks of a lower end bicycle. Around me, it would go for perhaps $50.
To be fair to the bike jt isn’t *terrible*, it’s better than a Huffy, or department store bike of its era. But it is definitely low-end. Univega/Italvega did have some really nice bikes, but this isn’t one of those.
