Depends on what they're asking for it. Top not only has crack repair, but an apparent splint of of wider fracture. Replaced tuners and tailpiece, and what looks like a non-factory refinish.
It may be the affordable player you're looking for. I'd check for a FON on the neck block, see if you can get a vintage on it. May have been a "white-face" originally, that went through sone serious wear/neglect/damage. If it plays well and sounds good, and if the seller's realistic about what he/she has here -- I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers, as we (crudely) used to say...
