A local shop here for example has some fully serviced and functional, partially modernized, 90s mountain bikes between 200 to 400 eur

Yeah, you absolutely can. I got my kid a great bike for $200, because I knew what to look for.
But your average person will just go to the store to buy something, and $500 keeps them away from most of the trash out there. If you have a bike loving friend, they can probably find you a great deal under $500.
