Ten bucks, if you've got Prime (and why wouldn't you?).
that link also indicates this derailleur is a copy of an older version of the Shimano Tourney derailleur. the modern replacement Tourney doesn't look exactly the same but it will do the same job for cheap. make sure to match the style of derailleur hanger to the broken one, notice in the first link the topmost part of the der. has a little slot for the axle to slide into, whereas the second link has a simple bolt. this is what you are matching.

Thread rejack! I noticed that the bike in those pictures has the same style lower mounted front derailleur with a brace (not a clamp) as the one I thought was broken on my bike. Cool.
Also, in my novice opinion, that bike looks great. If it's comfortable, I wouldn't hesitate to grab it at $400. A new entry level bike like a Trek 820 will run you about $360 + tax. I think for a few bucks more, this would be a superior bike.
Take for example the rear derailleur. The 2007 comes with a Shimano Deore (confirmed in the pics). Here it is on amazon for $50. A new 2012 Trek 820 comes with a Shimano TX35. This goes for $12 on amazon.
Again, take this with a grain of salt as I just bought my first bike. This is just from some of the knowledge that I've gained in the past few days. Good luck.

I made a mistake and typed 8 instead of 7; Sorry about that.
I found this, but it only goes to 7 gears.
