Make sure tabs/mounts etc aren't cut off, missing, bent F'd up etc. someone looking for a roller is one thing. someone who is going to have to replace or repair busted or missing tabs is another.

Check for cracks etc. I would go in to it assuming that there is a reason why the project wasn't finished (many aren't) seems like the last 5-20% is the hardest.

Anyhow assume something is wrong with it...Look for faults and if you find none or ones that you can manage than 500 is a good price. you could make a nice bike out of it.

That's a pretty damned good price you paid actually. I'm jealous.
