Tires look horrible but maybe it’s just my phone. I find tires sell bikes. Finding a source of presentable used tires can keep the cost down.
In my market I could not get more than what the consumables cost me. Hopefully your market is better!

The bike has steel wheels and a cottered crank. A bike this clean with decent tires and properly fixed up should be worth $100; you might get more in a hot market that values vintage bikes. It would certainly be a fine camps bike for example if you live near a college.

oh its without a doubt properly fixed up and does not make a sound when being peddled... i do live near a College but the problem here in the UK is kids look at vintage meaning not good enough they would rather buy something more upto date and cheap that would be a rust bucket within 12 months. Sad but true..

My AE8 was similarly equipped. Came with Steel wheels (Rigida) and a cottered crank. The cotter pins were a complete PITA as Peugeot seemed to use different sized ones to everyone else. When I went 10-speed on it I fitted a Stronglite crank set (which was another PITE as Peugeot seem to use different bottom bracket dimensions to everyone else.
Looks tidy and original as to value hard to say. I suspect the market is a bit niche
