+1 Yes, you are missing that the price is ridiculous. Its a really low end bike, converted to a fixie. Its a good test of how much a hipster will pay for a mediocre bike converted to fixie status.
For that price, you would think the seller would at least clean up the bar tape! Ouch.
Personally I would avoid it. I look at simple stuff, and if it is messed up, then I assume the more important stuff had similar treatment.
