It is hard to tell. "Collectors" can go crazy about the strangest things.
But, looking at the guy's web page and other Craigslist ads, they all seem within reason, perhaps a bit low (by west coast standards) if he actually does a good job tuning. So those tires are really the anomaly.
Nonetheless, I've been surprised about things like vintage 5 spd Orange Crates in good condition.
There used to be one person that complained about people listing multiple bikes under "for sale by owner" around here. That seller Minneapolis seller may well be one of those that pushes the limits.
Offer the guy $10 for the pair.. and see if he bites.
