I'm not at all convinced by the "manufacturing defect" story - I think I'd leave well enough alone myself.

Yeah, I am leaning away myself but I have some stuff for the trade the owner is interested in...only way I would buy in that condition is if it was under a 100 bucks.....

It would cost about $200. TO $300 to repair the crack in the headstock and while they are at it the fingerboard/binding issue would probably be included in that as well. So if you could get the guitar for $100 and then spend maybe $300. to fix it. $400 for an Agile is about the going rate. If you really feel the need for a silverburst and I imagine them coming up in a left handed version are rare. My recommendation would be to have the seller take it to a luthier that you trust and know then have him tell you what it will cost to fix.

I don't trust any guitar that doesn't have strings on it in the sales pix.

Anything with a crack on the neck like that is a deal breaker for me plus whos to say what else might be wrong with it

Have to concur with the rest of the posts.
If you really have to have this guitar, offer $20.00 and spend some time praticing your wood working and refinishing skills.
Otherwise, wave off.
This is a CHEAP guitar with problems. Its like buying a strange horse at auction. You really dont know what you have until you get it home.
Please consider the neck crack, it screams abuse, not manufacturing defect.

For $50, maybe not. But for $200? I wouldn't even be tempted. It's not a manufacturing defect; it's damage by one of the owners. You could easily fix it yourself. However, why bother? You'd need hardware too, right? That can get expensive.

You're kidding right? First it doesn't have factory flaws. That thing's been slammed hard. Second it's a bottom of the line Agile 2000 which is OK but not a 3100 etc. You can buy one brand new for less than $200

Fret board lifting with a big crack right behind it.
It'd make good firewood wouldn't it ?

I'm very wary of sites such as Cragslist anyway and the whole manufacturing defect story sways me further away. It is a nice looking guitar, however, in its current state I wouldn't pay more than what.. $20.. For it..

+1. Why inherit a mess that you'll have to put a lot of money into? There's lots of good deals on guitars without issues. Don't be a chump.

That's generous, do you think the hardware on it is worth that ?

If it were a screw-on neck, at least there would be some possibility of making a viable project of things. (A right handed neck would not look out of place on the LH body.) Then, trading your junk for the vendor's junk might make sense. Otherwise, politely pass up on the broken guitar. The guy might still buy your items, leaving you free to purchase a different guitar.

$200 for $1000 worth of headaches and frustration seems like a bargain to me. Assuming you like headaches and frustration that is.
