Remington 552 speedmaster, should I buy?

Guys, I need some quick advice.

I found a used 552 Speedmaster (not deluxe model) at a pawn shop. It looks good, I'd say Very Good condition, 90% blue. No obvious scratches.

I have one myself. I've had it for....well a long time, since I bought it when I was a teenager. I know it's a good gun. Mine is accurate, and shoots anything I put in it.

So, I'm asking how does a price of $150 sound? Good deal? Not so good? Just OK?

I'm thinking of going back tomorrow. Should I try talk him down a bit more?

What do you guys think?

That's about the average price range in my area. Personally, I'd buy it since I've always thought the Speedmaster's were some of the best .22 semi autos to be had.

I grew up on a Deluxe model, got my first squirrel with it. Only negative I can think of the trigger was not great, but it is a semi auto. One of the best 22 autos out there IMHO
