Hello,

No, it's not a good deal. The 2010 Spec Rockhopper Disc retailed for $470, my LBS is pricey & they had it for $420. You could get it cheaper on closeout or probably even the 2011 model for roughly the same price at a bike shop.
EDIT: My bad, I wasn't looking at the Rockhopper 29er. Not a bad price if it's in fair condition.

I wouldnt buy it. No warranty coverage, and at that price, save a little longer and get a new one, complete with support from the manufacturer and LBS.
