Picked up a 26" MTBSO from WalMart for $49 after they couldn't sell it because the riser bars were on upside down. Greased, adjusted and rode it a couple 10 mile loops just out of curiosity (mushy full suspension) before stripping the drivetrain to use on a restored Huffy and the saddle and aluminum wheelset for a junkyard $5 Schwinn. The purchase price wouldn't have bought brand new wheels anywhere else, so not a bad deal to get two restorations on the road.
