Let me see if I understand...
You bought a used bicycle, then joined this forum to ask what you can sell it for.
Is that right?

I don't think anyone would actually pay for one of those but you might ask in the C&V pricing sub forum. You won't need the extra colors there, FWIW.

Sears sold a bunch of different Free Spirit bikes though the years, so for someone to tell you what you have, you will have to come up with a lot more info, especially year and model.
Fwiw, most Free Spirits were nothing special. If you're looking to flip it, you better have gotten it for free.

If you put another $100 of tires, cabling, brake pads and general maintenance into it you will still have a $50 bike (maybe)

Buy some new tubes & tires, zip tie those cables in place and ride it until you got $50 of enjoyment.
Realistically if you put 30 to 60 Minutes of time cleaning up the wheels with a bit of steel wool polishing the bike making sure everything's adjusted okay, and if it has good tires, I think in my area you might get $50- $75.
In current condition I would say $25-$50.
Good luck. (And I wasn't being sarcastic about riding it.)

Free Spirit bikes are generally lower level recreational bikes so there is little interest in these. Personally I would say the bike is worth what you paid for it. Would you have paid $50 more for it?
putting a lot of elbow grease and parts on this will not greatly increase its value
