Centurion
I can get other photos tomorrow.
I don't know what kind it is but this Centurion is $100. Tuned up about a year ago at a local shop given new tubed and breaks, and only used a handful of times after.
Is it worth it?
What do you usually expect to see these go for?

yes, to me it would be worth it if it has already been tuned, greased and tires replaced.

I think the fork might be a replacement. Also, it looks like there's something going on where the bottom and top tube meets the head tube. I'd be concerned about head-on crash damage.

Forks don't get lost, they get replaced for damage. So check the remaining frame for any front end collision damage too. Originally this bike had a painted fork (I had one). If you are uncomfortable doing this check, skip it.
Replaced fork is not the end of the world. And often a fork will get damaged without damaging the rest of the frame. Careful inspection is the only answer.

There doesn't seem to be any damage. I reached out to the bike shop the original owner bought it from and they said the fork was replaced because of rust around some scrapes and dings that it had when it came in. They gave it new tires and tubes, new brakes and break lines, and a new seat. Everything else was untouched and in working order. It was there about a year ago, and the old owner never really used it and was moving so I got it for $100. It's a comfortable size but I think I'll want new handlebars.

Nice ride. Probably has a Tange frame. Has eyelets for a rack. All it needs is new tires and a decent upright stem. Yeah, I think it's worth $100.
