Personally the 98.1% feedback would be enough to put me off

The one with the broken drop out I would say no... get that fixed plus a new paint job... unless you can do the repair and the paint job (plus getting the frame for free) I dont think it is a good idea to bid at it.

Regarding the blue one, if you want one and have the money... bid at it. BTW no idea how famous that builder is/was. So cant tell you if the price is the right one.

No..the repairs(even if possible,considering the rust) and paint would be more $ than a new frame.

Purple bike, no.

Blue one is a good buy.
