Bridgestone 400 Road Bike - $235
Link: 54cm Bridgestone 400 Road Bike / Suntour Drivetrain
Would you all consider this a fair price? ($235) Or anything I should look out for when I go to look at it?
Thanks!

Still learning
First of all the size is wrong in the ad. Looks like a 50 or 52 cm frame. If you are over 5'5", the bike frame is too small.
Otherwise it is appears in decent condition and probably worth every bit of $200 +/-.

Looks like a 1985 model - triple butted frame. Really clean - that always makes it worth more to me. Sounds like it might have newer tires? I would go +- $200 on this also as a rider. Gotta fit. I checked the Bridgestone 1985 catalog and these bikes had long top tubes, so might be some leeway in the sizing. Bridgestone Bicycle Catalogue 1985-25-bridgestone-geometry

$200- sure.
It isnt anything special, the components are all fine but low to mid-level. Everything looks nice quality.
The ad is terrible- the seller says they are a dime a dozen. Obvious typo, but funny.
Eta- looks smaller than advertised
