It might be a little much but, if it's in great shape, and doesn't really need anything, I'd probably pay it. I've been known to sometimes overpay a little to get what I want, though I think $400 would be more reasonable, but really, what's $50, if you're going to ride the bike, and it's what you want? I may be a little biased though, as I own a 2010 Jake (great bike) and I briefly owned a 2005 JTS, which I should never have sold.

Personally, I LOVE that paint scheme. It looks better than anything I've seen from Kona recently, IMHO. Kona paint, back then, was known to be pretty weak. Meaning it was very sensitive to being rubbed and scratched. On a bike that old, there are bound to be imperfections.

Does it have tires that you would actually use, that are in good shape? If not, that is an immediate cost you might be able to use to lower the price. It came with cross tires, and the pic looks like they may still be on it. If so, that may also be an indicator of little use.

Good luck!
