Inexpensive, but be aware that the only way to sell at this price point for a new bike is to put the crappiest components that cannot be serviced after 1 season. Sure, you can pay $40 for the local bike shop mechanic to "tune" this next year, but ask him for his opinion and he'll tell you just ride it till it's no longer worth riding, then dump it on craigslist for $50.
You're better off buying a used good mountain bike -- full suspension costs more, so you can get a hardtail instead -- for around $300-450. Parts will be serviceable, even by yourself, and you'll get years of good use. Remember... get the best you can afford to get the best experience, otherwise you'll just end up not liking riding in the first place unless you just ride this on flat pavement (in which case you're better off getting a road bike).
