My son left this behind when he moved out and I’m trying to clear space. I googled this bike and it seems like it may have some value, but I’m not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am NOT a cyclist, but if this is something someone would love and care for, I’d love to get it into the right hands.

Unfortunately not a lot! This is a road frame that has been converted to fixed gear. Built with what appears to be inexpensive parts all around. It’s also a bit of a buyers market right now- and especially being in Portland it’s very saturated.
Conversions do not typically fetch much of a price. I would consider yourself lucky to get $150 for it. Which is a bummer as it’s a cool vintage lugged frame.
OP, it may not be worth much, but someone would for sure love to have it. If you don’t want to bother selling it, consider donating. A bike co-op could find it a good home.
Probably $100-150 as is. The fork is damaged and the parts used on the fixed gear conversion don’t look great. Frame is a name brand but not high-quality tubing. It’s about 15 years old, not classic but not new either. Tough sell, especially in a market with lots of supply.
