That could be a steal. Offer a grand and make it a project. Rebuilding a 2 stroke is a breeze.
Did they have the compression in the ad before you went or did they use your numbers? Kudos to them if they posted it initially.
The guy didn't have much info in the initial ad just that it wasn't running. He used my compression readings but didn't take my advice to list more detail about the package (i.e., Pwc cover, new battery, rebuilt carbs, up to date registration, new trailer tires and included fuel container). He also didn't drop his asking price. He offered to sell it too me for $1k after I did the compression check so if he still has it in a few days I will offer him a little less.
I don't mind rebuilding the top end but if it's something down in the block like the crank / crank bearings I just assume let someone else have all that fun and expense. It would be great if it's just a leaking head gasket but I'm never that lucky.
