I hate bike shop guys. They never call you back..

"Hajuu: hello id like to spend $500 on anything you can sell me today thank you sir."
"Salesman: Oh ok let me just call you back *click*"

*grumble* *grumble*

Try a new bike shop, esp a click-and-mortar store like Nashbar, Performance, Colorado Cyclist, Cambria Bike, or Niagara Cycle Works. Harris Cyclery would call you back but they are still swamped with calls regarding the passing of Sheldon Brown the bike genius.

Turns out the Fisher was in pretty good shape. Needs a bit of cleaning up but I'd rather spend the extra time than the extra money.

If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. Cheers to your find! $50 for a Gary Fisher seems like a **** of a deal. But then, bikes are like cars: So expensive to buy new, so cheap to sell secondhand.
