Lots of nice 26" bikes are hitting the market because folks are going to 29ers. If you're willing to be a bit old school, you can get a good deal.
While while nota is correct that a bike should shift and brake well, and have true wheels, those things are so easy to fix. Sometimes people will dump very nice bikes because the gears are out of adjustment. 5 minutes watching Youtube videos will teach you how to fix these things.
Truing wheels seems like some sort of magic, but it's REALLY easy. I had a guy come off the price of a road bike by $50 when I pointed out the wobble in both wheels. "Yeah, you're not the first buyer to point that out. I'm tired of messing with it," was his response. Probably took me 10 minutes total to take care of both wheels.
