Yeah, it's a Huffy. Everything is in good shape, no rust, shockingly good tires.
Remove some labels, some adjustments to the brakes and derailleurs and it'll be ready for donation.
It made me think, at what point would this be not worth it?
Does anyone even want a free bike anymore?
you asked the wrong question.
At what point is a bike worth rescuing?
Financially, basically never.
Only ever rescue a bike if it’s something you’d personally like to ride or give to a friend. At that, it needs to be a pretty good friend for even that to make sense.
