$500 straight
yes no? why

Offer him 350.

1. Do you like it?
2. Does it fit you?
3. Do you think it's worth 500 bucks?

If you answered yes to all three of those questions, buy it.

A huge fatty yes!
Very nice comopnents, Messengers...Chris King headset...Specialized seatpost and saddle.
WOW!
If I were him...I would part out the bike and sell the parts instead...

more comments are welcomed

can anyone else give me some thoughts?

I definitely thought this was going to be sewing question.
And yes, you should buy the bike. See if you can talk the seller down any for the fun of it, eh?

$500 is a bit steep for me but OMFG I want on of those frames and that one is in my size, makes me cry...

You are so sarcastic! Awesome he didn't realize!

The pictures are terrible. Why doesn't the seller make photos in a high enough resolution so you can see if the frame is undamaged, etc. I would be very suspicious about the bike without checking it in person.

You'll shoot your eye out kid.

Enjoy

I was half serious.
This is not exactly a stellar deal but it is not a crap deal either. I'd definitely talk him down to around 430 or so.

priceline negotiator!

at the point of asking BF "should I buy it?" you already know the answer inside your head, so there's really no point in us convincing you otherwise.

DOES IT FIT GREAT?
If so then talk him down to whatever you can an pull the trigger. Good bike at a slightly higher than average price, then again if it fits well and you love it and its in a condition you deem worthy, then its a great price.

Hes selling everything for $470 thats the lowest he'll go

Should I buy thread?

Are you planning to doing some sewing? If so, then yes, buy some thread.

no

Even if you're not planning on doing any sewing, its always good to have some thread around just in case.
Earlier this week I split my favorite pair of riding pants. Sewed them right up and was on the road 10 minutes later.
On my SS of course.
True story.

beat me to it.

Well played, sir

Sewing machine is a better investment.
