Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace, are full of bikes from Walmart Specials to high end bikes. My personal feeling is that if a bike was really good when it was new 10 year ago, and it's in good condition, then it's still really good now. So, really it's a false dichotomy to think you can either get a really good bike, or a bike from Craigslist.
