I bought a nice (at the time) Mountain Bike when I was 12 or 13. It was Trek and cost like $350 (for me that was a lot of money to be spending on a bike at the time).

When I moved away to college, I ended up not taking my bike and it sat in my parents garage for 4 years (plus the two years I was away on my mission). There is something wrong with the Shimono (sp?) shifters, as it will down shift but I can't shift back up. I'm not doubting that it can't be fixed easily, but it is actually getting it fixed and not having to spend $100 to get it on the road again.
