Viper couldn't edit title

What would be a fair price? I was asked $699. Some scratches on back but no paint removed. Minor s?I?dings, again no major gouges .Gibson tuners replacing original.

So is it fair?

A Breadwinner is a super niche guitar and they were polarizing even when they were new. I'd imagine there's lots of negotiating room, particularly if the guitar isn't 100% original.

EDIT: Whoops, you said Viper. Comments still stand though.
 
Well, I wound up buying. No original case so I asked about taking it down to 599 instead. After a bit we wound up at 649 and a padded gigbag. I like it so far, but it needs a little wiping down and new strings. Action actually feels good now. Maybe even a tiny tiny bit low. Prob just leave it where it is.
Trying to date it now. All I have found so far says between 75 and 80. I already knew that as that was pretty much when they were made. I know not earliest model cos it was made after the move of the toggle switch from under pickups to between vol and tone knobs.

Any help on that would be appreciated also.

On the hotel couch after purchase.
