I personally enjoy hunting down nice bikes in need of work, fixing them up, and either selling them or keeping them. Many of the nicer bikes have been gotten and refurbished for under $200.
I want to refurbish an old bike just for the fun and experience of doing it. I like fixing and building things, and I have a knack for making things work out for me. For example I want to learn how to fix cars.
