Seems kind of steep to me for a bike that old, unless it's in excellent condition and some kind of classic. 

Consider also that if the bike has been in storage that long, you're going to be looking at new tires & brake pads at a minimum, possibly also seats, bar tape, maybe cables, plus a thorough lubrication & tune up which you might be able to do yourself or might want to send to a shop, depending on your mechanical abilty.  So there's probably at least another $75 minimum to bring it up to riding condition.

Peugeot.

A old french brand (Alsacian to be correct, specially if you're from Alsace...). $200 is way too much for a 14 year old bike! I would think $50 is reasonable if it's in good shape.
