Great price for a neck through. No hassle return policy.

actually priced not too far from reality.  if it's in any kinda playing condition.   imh0, ymmv etc. & so forth.  looks like no case.  that's a problem.  maybe get 'em to toss in a free authentic GC gig bag?  HA!

their return policy ain;t what it usta be.  only 45 days.  usta be 90.  prolly too many guys like me freeloading on that no quesations asked policy and getting 3 months free rental on band equipment.  but i digress....

my experience is that it's kind of a crap shoot with their used instruments.   hard to say what kinda shape it's in from one picture and no description.  ya usually dont have a lotta luck negotiating with some face in a boiler room customer service center somewheres.  might be a beater.   it looks kinda sad and lonely.  at that price ya can't get a better neck-thru.  and it's a five string.  looks like all the parts are there.  whattaya waitin' for??
