I am wanting to sell a used adult bike with some accessories (a camelbak and a helmet). I don’t think the bike is worth much but the bicycle blue book doesn’t list this brand (genesis from walmart) and other calculators are pricing it at $50+ even in poor condition (not ridden much, tires need to be replaced). I don’t think it cost more than $180, if that, when I bought it 4 years ago.
If anyone could point me in a good direction I would be grateful.
I am in the USA.
Low end bikes like that just don’t have much value used. They are generally considered disposable. Still if it is in good ridable shape you might get $50. Some times you cant give them away… Used helmets are iffy to the buyer. You never can be certain they are in good safe condition, even if they look nice. A nice camelback might be worth more than the bike and helmet!

All bicycle helmets I used had no functional padding to speak of. There were strips a few mm thick at the places where your head touches the helmet but I don’t think that’d be significant in a crash.
If it’s a Walmart brand you’ll have trouble giving it away. The tires are probably more than just getting a new bike at Wally.
Check your local used items marketplace (no idea which sites works in the US).
Honestly, I doubt a cheap bicycle retain any value on the used market. I mean a good maintenance will cost more than the price of the bicycle (Just look at the price of tire, pinions, chains and you’re already above the price of your cheap bike without counting the labour)
I usually search the model on eBay, CL & fb marketplace, at the least you’ll find similar stuff and have a ballpark
