I have been thinking about buying a cheap guitar lately, and the thread on musical instruments reminded me that there are quite a few guitar aficionados on this board. All I want is a cheap acoustic guitar, just to try it out for a couple of months and see if it's something I want to do. I plan on taking some community education classes in the spring for it.
I found some on eBay/Amazon and was wondering if anyone could give some advice.
For example, the one on eBay is only $20. Why is it so cheap? Can it be even played on pitch? Is it for kids? All I am looking for is something simple but I am worried that it's too cheap?

I also included links to a couple others that I'm looking at, but they are a little more expensive, and I can't figure out what differences there are. My intention is to stay below $100, and the cheaper the better, as long as it makes semi-decent sound just for trying it out.
Other recommendations are of course appreciated!
