What would the value of a schwinn Tempo road bike w/ shimano 105 components boipace gears, & rack be worth?

It is my brothers bike & he wants me to sell it because I ride a bike all the time ( a home made recumbent ) and he thinks I know something about bikes.

If I sell it I want to get him a very good price but be reasonable to whoever buys it.

I don't know how old it is (it is a seven speed with index shifter on the down tube) shimano components

It has probably been lightly riden but I can't be certain of that.
It looks very clean with little or no wear.

Any suggestions on how to sell it ? Not Ebay as we are not members / ?
Craigs list?
a local swap( how would one find a local swap)?
others

Should we he me wait till christmas or spring to try and sell or do it now?

How would you list it to get the most out of it?

Craig’s list would likely get you the best price, EBay would likely not fetch more as it’s not a bike many would be interested in. I’d venture a guess that the bike is circa 1990 or so. Bio pace, 7 speed and down tube shifters on an entry level Schwinn are not in demand at all. To the right buyer $150 would likely be the best you could get. Sell it now, if you can. Worst case is you can’t sell then simply try again later.
