$100 here. Doesn't look too bad but I'm not knowledgeable about bicycles. I just know I want one that's low maintenance and as light as possible.

This isn't worth $1 let alone $100, this is a 20 year old cheap white label branded bike from Walmart.

Keep looking for something from a famous brand known exclusively for bicycles and which doesn't typically sell in big box stores. Trek, Specialized, Cannondale, Bianchi, Surly, BMC, Orbea, or Giant are all good examples of the sorts of manufacturers worth buying.

People massively overvalue the stuff they're selling so if you're looking to spend around $100, try talking someone's old unmaintained bike down from a listing around $200 or so. Don't bother lowballing on a recent bike that's been serviced, flipped bikes aren't going to be a big bargain so just get one that you'll have to service.
