Concur, nothing special. I think it's a '99 Hardrock, according to Bikepedia.com <http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1999&Brand=Specialized&Model=Hardrock&Type=bike>, about $290 new.
That said, it looks like a versatile, decent bike for getting around town. It's a steel MTB with a rigid fork, so you can do a lot with it. Tires and tubes this old should be OK if they hold air, but I'd caution the buyer that they may need replaced soon. UV damage dries up old tires, but these were stored indoors. I'd price it around $150-$175 since it's in perfect condition, and take $125 if the buyer is polite.
