That hairline crack in the seat tube, in two places, would be a deal-breaker for me.
I bought a used Kestrel 200SCi frame in April just to see what CF is like. I agree you're kind of rolling the dice with old CF frames (although you are with any old frame or part). But it cost about half what they're asking for this one, so I figured that even if something was really wrong I wouldn't be out very much. It turned out to be in great shape.
