If it's on Bring A trailer, it's an auction. He listed it for $1000. Just because people decided to pay $16,000 for it, it's not his fault.
I don't think Bring A Trailer bikes should be listed here, unless maybe their starting bid is insane. Maybe we should have a "Stupidly Paid Too Much Thread"...
Keep one thing in mind, a lot of shops today will not even safety a bike that is 20 years old, so you need to find a place that will do that. You also want to find a place not too far from where you live to take it to if things go wrong. Do some searching first. If you do a lot of your own...

I would say that if you see something you're interested in, make an offer now. Sometimes the guy might have it in his garage and if it's gone he can park his car in there. I have friends that cover their bikes and leave them outside, that guy is really ready to deal if thinking of selling...
I wouldn't do it, but if you do at least buy a disc bike alarm and park it as close to where people can hear it. Good luck.
