You know, I have to weigh my time in the price and the old "bird in the hand" thing - if I'm looking for a bike, one sitting in front of me with a "For Sale" sign on it would be worth considerably more than a bike that might pop up on eBay some day. I think that bike is certainly worth $200. No knowledgeable seller sells a decent bike for $30. Those are those rare bargains like my Panasonic that I picked up at a pawn shop for $30. There's no way I could get it for that from a bike shop or eBay and probably not CL unless the seller was clueless.
