1950 Schwinn Value

I've had this for 5 or 6 years. I'm not going to do anything with it. Time to sell. What's it worth? Serial # G401082. Looks like it was built 10-19-50.
Seems to be the D-62 on this page:
Schwinn brochures and catalogs, 1941 - 1950 (88 of 89)
Possibly "College Cruiser"?

I'm glad you wrote "maybe" in your post.

For whatever unknown reason, girl's bikes don't command the same price and are harder to sell than boy's bikes.

I've heard that it's because boys are harder on bikes and there are fewer remaining. Also possible that a woman may be less likely to be looking for the bike they rode as a girl than a man.
