Fortunately, this is a cheap and easy fix. You will just need to replace the cable. You can find instructions on how to do it here. While you're at it, I also recommend checking your break pads.
To OP, it sounds like you're looking for a new bike. What make and model is your old ride? Changing a cable housing and cable is pretty basic stuff and will cost you about $10, if you buy this set.. Beyond that, you may be looking at the price of brake pads and lube (assuming your chain isn't stretched, and your tires aren't dryrotted). That will come out to far less than the >$450 you'll pay for a new, multi-speed bike from a local shop. Watch a few videos to demystify bicycle tuning

I'm fairly sure you mean Cyclehops. Here's my breakdown:
•Basic mountain bike repairs: Cyclehops
•Basic cruiser bike repairs: Longmont Bicycle Co or Longmont Velo
•Specialized parts, like bearings: Cyclehops is your best bet in town.
•Mountain bike tires, helmets, gear, knowledge: The Fix in Boulder
•Suspension tuning and repair: Dirt Labs
