I'm in south jersey, a good hour south of Philly, I've not even seen anything on Philly CL, just newer bikes or converted road bikes.
I searched your local CL and these this one caught my eye:
Miyata One Thousand - Flat Bar - $375
- This is a grail bike and it has a really nice frame. It comes with the original drop bars / brakes so you'll have a choice on how you want to use it. I'd try to negotiate a bit to get it closer to $300 since it's a large size (but should fit you).
Anther option is picking up this cheap bike and using it until you find something nicer. It's 1 size too small for you, but it will get you riding now.
Schwinn Frontier - $50
Those are only 2 that caught my eye, but I only checked craigslist before I ran out of time.
