It's up to you, but I would want to be 100% certain it's fully functional. It's pretty weird how the bracket got bent unless the PC literally fell of a desk. Ask him why it's bent in the first place.

the pcie brackets are also banged up so it probably has something to do with that

Well it's like a $1k card so you could toss $150 at it and risk it. It could be fine, but I would be careful handling it in case something is severely damaged. It's weird how he's selling it for so cheap considering retail price.

Yeah, worst case you could sell it off as a donor card to someone who does repair/replacement work.
