I'm not into the way it looks, but it has decent specs. How much are they asking/does it fit you?

$200.

Then part it out and profit because it's so ugly and I wouldn't want to ride it.

That's just me, though.

But $650 is pretty high.

Hmm, I don't really think 650 is unreasonable, but I think you could get much better for that price and build up something with the parts you want.

Are you a Joy Division fan or a Nikolai Gogol fan?

Aside from the horrid appearance, I think that's a pretty good price for the components and apparent condition.
