Craigslist is an ever changing market sooo... Kind of a weird thing to say lol
Deal is good if you need to flat bench only. But as soon as you incline, you move further and further away from the bar. Ideally you want a bench where the whole seat moves as you incline.

Wow, thanks for the nice find! This is much better than buying used on Craigslist

Why would you want to be right under the bar if you incline? Most incline workouts are dumbbell based and no one (that I've seen of) works out with barbells when sitted upright.
To be honest this is not worth spending money on. It's better to just save up for:
- Olympic barbell set
- power rack
- proper bench (possibly adjustable)
- decent workout program

Just to specify, you want the bar generally above your head. OP bench, the more you incline, the bar will be directly behind you lol. You can see it in the 1st and 5th picture on amazon
But yea, if you're going to get a bench like this, might as well make it versatile.

This. If you're working fairly light this would be fine, but no way am I trusting 300# in addition to my chonk azz on this. Also, as most are already saying, anything past the first incline notch is going to put the bar too far behind you. Plus no emergency catch or good place for a spotter to stand. You'd be much better off with the squat rack and bench combo for 3x more.

Something like this, if you can find one cheap.
