sure, why not? money does grow on trees nowadays, right?
seriously though, seems like a good, not great, price based on the current market.

The guy just emailed me back and said it's a Shimano BB. It does come with the 75 chainring. So it's the cranks, a Shimano BB, and the 75 chainring for $200.

While the whole taper thing is debatable, it's pure ignorance to claim Shimano BB are cheap. Assuming we're talking UN5X or 7X series, these are some of the most dependable brackets out there.
Of course they don't score hipster mileage points, but hipster points can't be traded in for maintenance either.
Actual, the taper issue shows ignorance. The angle of the taper is the same regardless of whether it is ISO or JIS. The point in question is the length of engagement.

Exactly. The 75 BB is higher quality than the shimano bb, although not as low-maintenance. A sealed bearing bb like the shimano is great for the street but IMHO is not worth $200 with the cranks/ring.

I think I agree with what dobber said. Shimano makes very good BBs, even the cheaper ones are good, and the 7x series is among the best you can buy for the money. Maybe _the_ best value for money.
In general, I am not a fan of expensive crankarms as I don't see the point, but purely from a marketplace point of view, $200 for the Sugino 75 and a Sugino 75 chainring (not some random 144BCD chainring) is a good deal even without the BB.
If the items are new. Crankarms don't wear, but BBs and chainrings do.
