Repop Krate?

Seems steep to me, althogh you could part it out and maybe make most of your money back, if you just needed something off of it.
I learn something new about these every time a thread like this comes up, but I believe that is a Walmart repop, since it appears to have a 20" springer. I think the originals and the bike shop repops had a 24" front fork. If it's a Walmart bike, I think if you really want one you can still find them in unridden condition, maybe still in the box, for under $200. The bike shop repops are nicer and sell for more, but I still come across people selling them in the box for around $400, which I think is less than what they sold for new. I think people bought multiples thinking they would cash in on the retro Stingray/Krate craze, and are now just trying to get most of their money back.
Either way, I would pass on that one, in that condition.

I might pop for $40-50.
