Caveat emptor, right? Maybe it's worth $250 to someone, and I have no way or knowing whether or not that person (if he or she exists) is a fool.
I'd rather badger the seller into not selling it. Why allow some scam artist to put an unknowing person in harm's way? I PM'ed him about the obvious damage and that the bike shouldn't be ridden. Sell for parts only. You think a professional frame builder or mechanical engineer would give their stamp of approval on the bike's safety? HIGHLY DOUBT IT.
