Sydney,
I believe that the matching reflectors are a big factor in the pricing.
If you note it does appear that it has the infamous "upside down front wheel
reflector" which is about as collectable and rare as a 1955 double die penny.

Someone needs to snag this quick,before it's gone forever. 
When confronted with delusional pricing,seller admitted to not being too familiar with bikes,but reconed that at .02 per pound at the recycle center it was more than he had otherwise. 
Great fixie material for the right person...

That level of pristine pink deserves better than the landfill. But the e-mail I got from the seller suggest he is such a chucklehead that you would do well to have him take it to LBS for packing and shiping if he goes for your offer.

Oh, OK....
I wonder why he didnt respond to my email ?
If he bites on the cheepo offer and the bike store can do it for a
a reasonable price (40 at most ??) Ill still do it.

That bike would go over huge with the campus crowd, and it it were a mixte it could easily fetch $250 with the right ad copy and a little patience.

Now, I wonder if he has the brains to capitalize......
