I'll second that. Many bikes shops take trade ins and resell them again. I have not bought a new bike in ages and prefer a slightly used good brand name bike over a new big box store bike. Plus some stores sometime offer specials like free maintenance when you buy in their store. But of course it can be tricky to find the correct size.
