I picked up a Kent 1800 Trail Blaster (26" Men's) at an auction. It was
still in the box and very cheap so I thought, why not.

Is this a piece of junk? Can anyone give me a guesstimate on the MSRP on
this bike?

This is a standard dept store bike, on the order of NEXT, Pacific, Murray,
etc. Sold at Meijer stores in the midwest.

MSRP maybe $100-175, depending on how it is outfitted.

There is a recall on another of their models. Ride carefully.
