Looking for a gravel bike and there were a couple of used ones for sale in the area. One of them is a 2020 Poseidon Redwood going for $500 and the other is a 2015 Specialized Diverge A1for $400. Do either of these look like good deals?

The Diverge is more of an endurance road bike than a dedicated gravel bike. Quick Google suggests 35mm tyre clearance. Which is fine for relaxed riding on some slightly rougher trails, but if you actually want to get into gravel riding and singletrack you would probably appreciate some extra clearance. The Poseidon also seems to have a microshift(?) 1x groupset, compared to the pretty low end and older Shimano one on the Diverge.
Have you checked the sizing of both of these models?
