Sounds like a fair price and description to me. Never dealt directly with "The_Director" but know enough in the NC community that has...deal with confidence.
PS, what is it about BSD and the delayed DMD? I sold mine to B_R many years ago, then bought another one from Wolfy, and that one had the same issue. I just rebuilt the entire HV section hoping that cures it, but awaiting a 5V regulator to fix reset issues before I put it all back together.
