I'm very new to this, but could use some advice if this is worth the $150 asking price? I'm gonna post the link to the listing below with a bunch more pics.

That’s worth $50 tops
Also can anyone tell if the one I’m asking about has the same paint color as this one from another user? The one I’m interested in seems like the photos may just be darker.
This is not the one I’m interested in its just a comparison for color:

Absolutely not worth $150
You should probably go check out that shop, it seems like a cool place, they might be able to swap out stem / seatpost to make it fit you better, or come up with a more appropriate ride for you. I think $150 or even the full $200 is a pretty normal price for this kind of bike in good condition. This one is freshly serviced and being sold by the shop.
This is the contrarian view on the sub but most bikes bottom out at 100-150. You aren’t going to find anything cheaper that’s been serviced/tuned up by a bike tech, from a shop or bike cooperative like this one here.
A tune up by itself is usually a 100-150 by itself.
Could you find a better bike for 150? Absolutely. But you have the piece of mind everything will work and more importantly you have somewhere to come back to if something goes wrong.
You don’t get that with other private sellers
