I would say because, the market hasn't been too hot recently and.... back bowed neck.

wow if i had noticed this i would have snagged it. If the neck is repairable its worth it.

wow! thats a great deal!
i have found that if a compound truss rod styled neck is warped or backbowed its about a 50/50 chance that it will ever be playable again.
besides removing the board, plaining it, and putting a rod in and board on.

A Squier doesn't come with a probably broken truss rod, though.

Oh. I don't really get the bowed thing. Isn't the point of a truss rod to a bring a neck back from that state? ^^ It's 50/50?

This guitar unfortunately has some problems. With the truss rod loosened completely, the neck has a back bow. Other than loosening the truss rod I’ve made no other attempts at fixing this neck.
The strings pull it up, the trussrod bends it back. A neck with no strings on and the truss rod tight should have a back bow (depending on the relative pull of the strings/rod). I've only ever had to adjust a truss rod once due to heavy strings and it was after puttnig the heaviest strings I could on my bass. I don't know how common a thing it is.
Selling a 65 Fender you'd check if it was actually working or not. The guy must know he's sold it for under half the value because of the truss rod so I'd assume it's broken. Of course he wouldn't have known it'd go for $308, but I'd still say it needs some major work.

Case, body, body hardware, tuners - even with a shot neck that was a great price for a great project guitar.

You never know what people will do. I bought a guitar that had two stacked pieces of a yardstick in the neck pocket
as shims to raise it up to the level of the pickup, which had a bent screw. People don't always know what they're doing.
