Offer $300 AND air-dry it properly (stickered and covered) for another year. You will likely have some nice walnut then.

Thank you everyone for your advice. Being new to woodworking, buying rough lumber seems to be a bit of a gamble. I have decided to wait until the weekend and call the seller back and see if he has decided to lower his price at all. Judging from everyone's feedback, the current condition of the lumber doesn't seem to be a deal breaker, but the waste ratios on it may be high enough to require considerable caution. I think I will offer up to $300 or possibly $350 assuming waste will be up to 60% from warping, checking and mold. I think that would be a pretty fair price for both of us. I'm not really to excited about this deal any longer since I found a guy that is selling what he says is select 4/4 air dried for $3/bd ft. I will keep everyone posted and include a picture if the deal goes through. I decided that if I buy it and it turns out to be unsuitable for furniture I could probably make a pretty cool workbench out of it.
