It is tempting.
I feel the same way. I'm always looking out for unusual instruments that sell cheap. You never know what you might find. I bought a $25 Russian oval hole mandolin from a local Craigslist ad about six months ago and it sounds beautiful. I just had some set up work done on it and it now plays as beautiful as it sounds.
