Seems to be a regional thing. In my hometown bikes aren't valued very much. Go to KMart or WalMart and get another one for $80 when the tires go flat. I can pick em up for free from curbside or junkyard all day long here.

Out in Cali, quite a few of the bikes on CL were $1000+!!! And the local bike shops didn't have much of anything under $500. Sorry, after getting used to free bikes, I really doubt that extra $500-$1000-$more buys any extra riding pleasure.
