Actually, its more the opposite. Most of the USA is the land of regular pricing (what you might call cheap bikes). The other 15% are what I would call hot markets: San Fran, PNW, NYC, Boston, a few others.
Myself, I would pay more than $200 but not a lot more. Indexed DT shifter bikes top out around here at about $275 for a pristine, ready to ride bike, unless it is something really special.
As far as dirty, please take a look at the close ups of the DT levers (they are nasty dirty), the RD (dirty, but not nasty dirty), and the brake caliper (dirty). Tires and rims do not appear to match (I could be wrong). Rear tire looks beat.
