Bikes need to be partly disassembled to ship, obviously the seller doesn't want to arrange this, seems pretty shabby to me....... You would need to pay the shop to do the work, and then pay the shipping fees, could easily add $200 to the price of the bike, if you do bid, remember this, and bid accordingly.
Personally, I would prefer to buy close to home, so I could go and have a look at it, sometimes what you would consider good condition, and what the seller considers good condition, may not match.
