If you like that saddle (I don't) combined with wanting tubs (not either) along with a slightly better price it seems OK being optimistic. Ciocc made few if any cheap frames. What's left of the paint indicates that it most likely isn't a lesser tubing, the criss-cr. If you have no intention of riding tubeless/ sew-ups/ "tubs" and I don't say that they're not great riding but if your sure that no is the answer, the deal's weak. Seizing the opportunity for a VG at least frame along with superior ride qualities that tubs afford, this may be your chance as the wheel issue is addressed.
Not a big risk, let's face it. powder coating is a wonderfull option. The frame's well identified and engraved for the future so ...
Even selling the wheels after the fact isn't profitable, trade maybe but it's a stretch.
Get him down on the package, he'll not CL tubs so easy, dismiss that saddle, get it out of the deal, if he wants to use THAT as a price-bolsterer well........
