Ebay is good also, but Craigslist is divided locally and gives you an opportunity to see something in person before you buy it.

Your LBS can provide you with a good bike for that price. I have a couple Trek 4300's that i bought in that price range. One has over 8,000 miles and the other is over 5,000. So I'd have to say they are "good."

I did a test ride on a Giant Sedona mtb in that range. Had I wanted a mountain bike, I would have gone for it.

This doesn't help right now, but depending on your locality, a lot of bike shops cut prices steeply sometime between fall and early spring to clear room for next year's model.
A bike shop near me just sold a Specialized Roubaix (?) road bike, very nice looking with a Tiagra/105 component group for about $300.
