Even if you're not living in an area that's likely to see high-end used bikes at fair prices, it's absolutely possible to get something special on a "budget."
well you are not in the price range of this thread for a functional bike so sorry to tell you that you are blowing hot air and the person you are responding to was originally correct about clist. it is a great place to buy 1) an overpriced used bike or 2) a project bike. neither is the theme here
I was looking for something I could use on moderate or easy trail riding 25% of the time, but could still ride with the wife and kids, needs to be compatible with a kid's seat and trailer.
Would this be a solid option?
of course they did. many LBS specialize in selling Giant. You are paying $150 for "free" assembly and maybe "free" tune ups. the equipment is basically the same with only very minor differences.
From personal experience, I know that it really isn't difficult to find good used bike deals on Craigslist. I will reference my own post, which was directly above the one you quoted:

That's two examples where I kept below $300 (sticking to your criteria, and not sxy2003's--who commented on $2000 bikes) and ended up with good bikes that retailed for north of $1500 each. One required a replacement wheel for $50, and the other only needed minor shop maintenance. In neither case did I spend months searching. I have plenty of other examples, but many were either cheap (<$100), or in the $500-$700 range. I don't search all that often, but when I do I'll generally find something decent within a day or two. Sometimes it's just luck and contacting the seller as soon as a good deal is listed. In other cases, it's about keeping an eye on old listings and making conservative offers. Some of my best deals were from offers on listings at least 4+ weeks old.
yep project bikes (sub 200) or overpriced stock $500 plus on CL. always comes down to that for CL oficianados lurking bike threads on SD. you're not the 1st and won't be the last
There are exceptions...
I'd say if you're a DIY'er with a good tool collection, go with the big box bike and double check the assembly and tune it yourself (youtube has plenty of videos). If you're not a DIY'er, you might want to pay the premium at the local shop. It's kind of like buying an extended warranty on your car.
A good local shop will always offer lifetime tune ups and will likely cover a lot of replacement parts for free. They should also set up the bike to fit your body (seat height/position, handlebar/levers/shifter angle). Some may even let you swap out a part or two when you buy it (if for instance you want a particular type of pedals, stem length, different seat).
May also be worth considering that a brand like Giant/Trek/Specialized will have a much better resale value down the road if/when you want to sell it.

comes right out of the box. attach front wheel, pedals, and handle bars.
I would also recommend building it yourself. if you dont know these skills, it will be a long day trying to get your broken bike home.
Replace a tube
Fix a flat
Adjust hand brakes
Adjust brake pads
Adjust seat
Slight derailleur adjustments
These simple skills should ensure you will get home.
These are all skills that all bike riders should know/someone in the riding group should know. These are all on-road adjustments that one can do with simple tools.
save your extra $150 from giant/trek/specialized and get yourself a hand pump, spare tube, flat kit, hex keys, tire lever, and helmet.

What happens if you get a flat in your car, do you junk it or trade it in.?
Any bike may not be for you if you don't have the ability or wherewithal to change a tire. It sometimes happens places where you can't just buy a new bike or pay someone to fix it.
