Almost a good enough price for me to just take a punt.
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

That’s a very early model… perhaps one of the first. Newer ones adopted disk brakes and have less in the way of tubing around the seat. But importantly it has a derailleur post… the one bugbear of our first steel Kett, it was hard to get a decent spread of gears without a Schlumpf drive. I found ours fun, nippy and versatile… so we ended up acquiring another! We no longer have the steel one and I kind of miss it.

I’d agree… the BIN price is more than we paid for our first Kett, and it only had 50 miles under its wheels. That one does look like it’s a bit the worse for wear.

It went for a low price, can't say cheap as it looked a bit of a dog!
But a missed chance.hadvit been closer ,I might have looked.
