How would I get a cheap indoor bike trainer?

I want to look on ebay for a cheap indoor bike trainer, like one you can put your bike on and pedal in place, and haven't found anything that sold for under $100. Not looking for anything quality here, just an indoor bike trainer to use throughout the winter, regardless of the weather outside.

Performance Bike has a couple under $100. I have this one here. I will warn you, after about a year of use it is LOUD! I'm in an apartment, so I just try to make sure my downstairs neighbor isn't home when I use it. Oddly enough that one is showing out of stock, but here is another for $99.

Pricepoint has one for under $100.

I'd caution you, most people who get "Not looking for anything quality here, just an indoor bike trainer to use throughout the winter" end up spending more money within a year!
We saw a very nice Kinetic trainer at out last REI garage sale. We didn't get it because of it's noise issues. But, REI garage sale is another possibility.

I found one on Craigslist- I was able to trade a bike rack for it (the bike rack cost me $50 on Craigslist previously)

I got a $400 cycleops trainer for 140 on Craigslist. Keep your eye out!
