Plenty of really amazing high end bikes for that price.

I've never gotten close to my self imposed limit of nothing over what a new entry road bike sells for at the LBS (~$800). And I have what I would consider some very nice bikes. $500 buys some really top notch stuff in the vintage market, $750 to $1000 buys some really nice modern bikes used.

That NOS Bianchi becomes just another $350 used bike after your first 30 mile ride.
