FWIW, I've bought from the seller before (a Joe Strack built/Joe Bell painted Rivendell single speed with track ends) and he's a pleasure to deal with. If you're interested in the bike, I can help put interested parties in contact with the seller. I suspect he's willing to negotiate a sell off of ebay saving him some fees and getting the buyer the bike at a lower price.
