I'd have no qualms buying this frame, although the sellers attitude is a turn-off.
I think the answer from the seller would push me to look elsewhere, it may be fine, it may not, the confidence meter does not go up that the transaction will go smoothly with the seller's reply.
These don't come up that often, but are not so rare as to not find another that will probably be in original paint.
