Nishiki Prestige
Looking at this one, a Nishiki Prestige, wondering if it's worth $125. A guy sold it recently on Craigslist but said the new buyer may want to sell it.

$125.00 is a fair rpice if the bike has no major issues. Nicely cleaned up in good condition ready to ride these go for about $175-200 in most major markets.

Yes. But make sure seat post and stem are not stuck.
Mismatched tires and gaps in bar tape are both signs where you should expect to need to do some maintenance on that bike (if the visible stuff looks worn, then you can pretty much count on the stuff you can't see being worn: wheel bearings, bb, headset, etc). Still well worth $125. Sold a pristine, ready to ride, fully refurbished one for $250. Mine was a few years newer than this one and had some desirable features.

Good. I'll look at it sometime in the next day of two. Just looking for a nice rider, do you have any experience with the ride on these?

Since this bike has slightly more aggressive geometry than your current bikes it should be a little bit stiffer and more nimble. These have very good handling characteristics and ride over all.
