Disagree with getting a base BMX. Lots of good folders to be had under $400 if not $300 if you search around and also browse ebay constantly under 'folding bike'. They are much more versatile than a BMX and suited to more extended riding. Always ask here when you want to know if something is worth bidding on. Sorry you missed out on Downtube FS from ebay and guy didn't send it. You will get a good one in the end! Stick at it!
