@ixxchrisx, why don't you edit your current post. Also mention the intended title, and perhaps @cb400bill will be kind enough to update the title.
Mentions may work for newbies, but they have a funky format. Only use the "@" symbol followed by the user name. Don't use any drop down menus, etc.
You also will have 5 posts a day for the fist 2 days.

Are you in Australia? Malvern Star is an Australian brand, although I wouldn't be surprised if this bike was made in China or Taiwan.
If you are fixing up a bike to sell, it could be a good experience learning to tune a bike, but if it is your first one and you're wanting to just sell it, I'd encourage you to just give it a good scrubbing and sell it as-is, which allows the buyer to make his choices on how to build it.
Otherwise you're opening a can of worms that can get expensive quickly.
New seat, New headset, new tires, Grease, bearings, probably new brake and shifter cables an housing, etc. A few specialized tools.
It is easy to spend more money than you'll recoup on just selling it.
You'll likely hit a value of $100 to $300 USD.
I'd probably try selling it for maybe $250 USD or $300 AUD. But, it could be down in the range of $150 USD or so.

Looks very much like a Malvern Star Sportif. I have a smaller sized version.
Nice lugged frame, most likely from Taiwan.
