Do you guys think I should do this?

There is a guy emailing me trying to offload a project YFZ450 he was putting together. Here's what he said about it.

" I do not have motor axle rad carb seat rear plastic steering stem tires or hubs. Should have pretty much everything else including +2 a-arms and nerfs that are like new."

Now for the price he is able to sell it to me for....it doesn't make sense for me to build because engines for these things are CRAZY expensive. But.... he said 1k at first, I said that's too much because of the complete YFZ450 that I just missed that costed 1k. Now he's saying he can't go lower then 700. I feel bad because the guy is about to have a baby and stuff. But anyways I could probably talk him down more but again I feel bad about it. If I buy it I'm parting everything. I'm sure I could get more then 700 for everything. The frame has a title too so that's a plus. Do you guys think I should jump on this? Do you think it would be hard to get my money back? He's making up a list of everything he has and is sending it to me.

Frame, back brake caliper, front/rear bar, handle bars, front plastic, headlights, +2 A-arms, rad fan, motor mounts, brake cable, clutch cable, levers, swing arm, wiring harness, air box, front/rear shocks, exhaust, nerfs, gas tank, and a bunch of misc parts.

That's what he said was all there.

Oh and he said these are all parts from a 2007.

you should get 800-900 if you part it out. so i say NOT worth you time

Yeah I was adding things up and I came up with likely 1200 at the most.

Well he eventually came down to 600 after I told him no. But I don't think i want to deal with these parts laying all over for what would likely take me a month or more to sell them all. And I'm not sure I could really make much off it.
