Advice needed on first fixie purchase

Hey guys I am new to the whole fixed gear bike scene and am currently trying to buy my first bike. I was on Craigslist and someone was offering a 2006 Giant Bowery for $450. I have no idea if this is a good deal or not and have since gotten him down to $300. Here is a link to the bike. Can you please let me know what you think. Turns out the cranks, and pedals are actually stock. According to the poster the only upgrades are presta vaves, oury grips, straight handlebars, a presta adapter, and an upgraded brake lever - which seems like pretty minor stuff to me. Also I am 6'4 wilth a 33"/34" inseam and will manly be using this to bike a few blocks to class (max 10 blocks one way). SOOO what do you guys think how much is this bike really worth and does it sound like a good fit for me?

I am just a n00b and trying to not get taken advantage of! Thanks in advance, it is much appreciated!
