Asking price is too low, no details about owner, why being sold, no picture.... It may not be stolen, but I would never buy something from a clueless owner.

A six-speed model would be a pre-2005 model.

The old boardwalk (circa 2004 or earlier) had 6 speeds. If memory serves, it retailed in the sub-$300 range, so the asking price is in line with reality.
Good question though - to be most cautious, you could double-check the serial number with a local law-enforcement office:
National Bike Registry Affliliations
Or, just meeting with the seller may be enough to determine if it's legit.
And: buying from clueless owners is the best way to get stuff!! As long as you're certain you know what you're getting.

oh was showing a man the folding bikes at my work.
there was a 6 speed Dahon and our own brand.
Dahon was £300...our own was £200
So second hand you half the price...take some more off if you really dont want it

You are right, I take my words back. With some patience , ingenuity and luck I found a great deal on craigslist:
https://baltimore.craigslist.org/bik/537072760.html
The guy was selling it for a friend who had no idea how to sell things on craigslist/ebay. The helmet he gave me is Louis Garnaeu and seems a lot nicer than my previous Walmart Schwinn helmet..
