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.
Best advice I have is just give it to a local donation place and see if you can get a tax write off. Imo you’d spend more time than you’d make off the bike with bs offers, bots and the like. But what could be at most $50 bucks to you could be the difference in a job to someone else.
You only get a tax write-off if you itemize your deductions and most people don’t have enough deductions to make itemizing worth it over the standard deduction.
If it’s a Walmart brand you’ll have trouble giving it away. The tires are probably more than just getting a new bike at Wally.
I usually search the model on eBay, CL & fb marketplace, at the least you’ll find similar stuff and have a ballpark
