need to give an offer for this bike frame set
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/4085007908.html
Hey I'm interested in this frame set but he's selling it for 375$
That seems kinda pricy so im asking for help. Is this a good deal or should I offer lower?
Help a noob out D;

There is most certainly bay area hipster tax.
$250 - $350 is more like it to raise the sellers eyebrow.

I would have to see it in person first. That way you can call things out to ding him down.
Just going from pictures and assuming there's nothing else wrong with it besides cosmetics I would do $275... and I feel that's really, really pushing being a bay area native. Possibly to even get the sellers attention you'd have to do at least $320.

I'd have a hard time justifying that much money for that bike esp. given its poor condition. That said, LuckyBear lives in SF, I don't. But I still think that's too much for that frame and a few parts.
I think ima go for it thanks for the help guys

Nah, a bike beat up like that means you (or someone at least) has been riding it. Scars on your bike give you street cred.
