That's a tough call, especially coming from someone who could probably fit 
your frame, and might be talked into buying it. So, with that caveat:
 
There's something that has prevented you from unpacking that box, and now 
has you here. Most likely it's a money-to-need ratio that isn't settling 
well. I had this issue a while back. I'd always wanted a Gary Fisher 
Klunker, an homage to the original Repack bikes. It was built in small 
quantities in the mid-'90s, and half of them remain on bike-shop walls. Last 
year I found a very nice one, and paid $1200 for it. Technically I could 
afford it, but it was still big money in my world. I rode it a while, looked 
at it a lot, then..it started to nag at me. I had no emotional investment in 
the early mountain bike scene, and didn't seem to be getting all that much 
out of riding it. It just wasn't the "big deal" I thought it was going to 
be, so the investment started bugging me. So I sold it, losing a little 
money in the bargain, but it was the right thing to do for me.
 
Recently I spent most of that money on a '94 Bridgestone XO-3, a sentimental 
purchase to replace a '94 I bought new that year, which was later stolen. 
I'm happy with the purchase every time I glance at it. So...do you really 
think the Hunqapillar is the cat's pajamas, or an expenditure that's not 
really "doing it" for you, and you'd rather have the money in your pocket, 
and the bike under another owner who's more "into it"? Btw, my buyer was 
thrilled to get his Klunker. That made me happy.
