If it works (as claimed) it's a decent deal. Looks very heavy.

Looks like a decent deal. Centurion was a respected make. Looks like it has Suntour barcon shifters. A pair of those in good shape usually goes for between $30 and $50 on Ebay.

Well, sure. But that looks more like a 70's touring bike as compared to say an 80's racer (which Centurion also made).

In both cases, what are you hoping to gain by "fixing them up and selling them"? Hopefully experience and fun as it would be more profitable and less time consuming to knock on doors and ask homeowners if you can mow their lawns for $5/hour.
