Are there any serial numbers on it?Is it a 5spd bike?With the hand brakes and being a multiple geared bike,I believe it would be from no earlier than the middle 1960s,it looks to be in decent condition,I've sold nice Schwinns from that era for $150 but I'm not sure how popular the Raliegh bikes are.
Craigslist is about the best for bikes,I sell about 1/month on there,some bikes will do ok on ebay but I wouldn't bother with that one.I have been using local bike trader for a month or so now but I really can't say that it's any different than craigslist.If you have a decent size college in your area,try advertising on the craigslist in that location,college kids like those vintage bikes.
Are you sure the serial number is correct,I find that in 1973 the serial numbers start with H but then it's suppose to be 4 numbers after it.It looks to me like a 1960s or 70s bike but I'm not sure.
