My area seems to be $1k+ for lightly used HT, and a decent full squish is like $2k. I’m in an area where MTB is super popular (Utah), so there are a lot of enthusiasts that know what bikes are worth. It’s especially bad for me since I’m tall and need a less standard size.
I have seen a few good deals here and there though. I got my kid a decent Trek with front suspension for $250-ish, and I’m going to shop around for some upgrades (kids keep growing). But $500 is what I expect to spend for a decent bike, anything less for a decent bike is a steal.

Yeah, NC here, so the only place where prices are higher really is in the mountains. Plenty of newer hardtails used around $400-500, my new to me carbon is 10 years old, but I’m not planning to use it for anything strenuous so I feel fine about it (newer full suspension carbon frames are closer to $1k usually, but they are closer to top of the line).
