There's also the price at which it's just an insult. I figure it's worth
about $15k, if he had time to leave it on the
market. Feel free to offer him $20, but I don't think he'll take it.
$8k, he might.

He didn't build it. He bought it from someone else and hasn't worked on
it if I read his add correctly. Since he paid $14K for it, you could
argue that there is a market for it at that price.

However, unless you are financially independent it is never an insult for
someone to offer you their hard earned money for something you are about
to discard.

And for the posters who mentioned the potential for liability, see the
first sentence.

And anyway, I personally would not be interested even if it were given to
me free, with free delivery, because my wife would kill me for taking on
another project right now

I couldn't agree more with this message. Anyone can sue you for anything.

To be accurate, almost anybody can file a suit for almost anything
against anybody.

Some number of filings, not an insignificant number, are rejected by
clerks even before service--typically because no actual tort is alleged
by the would-be plaintiff.

There are a small number of people who, because of a previous record
of abuse of process, are not even allowed to file without first
obtaining
specific permission from the court.

That is not to say that there is no lawsuit abuse. But the remedies
do exist in the law, they simply are underutilized.
