No it's not a good price lol. You can get like double the performance from a battery (deka 9a31) from bad4health for $120 shipped

my redtop never fails to give me less than 12v even on a bad day. i'd haggle the person down to $90-$100 though

He paid $230 wow he got ripped off I bought mine for $169 brand new from advance auto.

You can do better new for less IMO. Anything over 80$ is a ripoff, and even then it's sketchy since you really don't know how well it's been cared for.

find me one new for that price and im sold. and yes i was going to make him an offer of 75 and go from there. it looks to be in decent shape too. time to whip out the handy dandy multi meter

multi meter only tells half the story. have him meet you at an autozone/advanced and have them load test it. that will give you the info you really need.

Great idea actually
