I'm super excited. Unfortunately I have to wait until I get back from Paris (leaving tomorrow) in two weeks, but I think the owner likes me and isn't interested in getting rid of him fast -- she wants him to have a good home. It's about an hour drive away, but I'm definitely going to go see him and hold him, make sure he's healthy, etc. (:
As for the condition the photos look great, but there's only one way to find out for sure!
