I'm sorry you took the necessary price reduction badly. Unfortunately, that's how the market is.A man who knows the value of things unlike some!
I was (privately) interested. But the repair was putting me off. At some point, if price reductions continued, I may have been tempted. But it would have been for a nice summer bike and that repair, however well it was done would likely have drawn my attention every time I rode the bike. I'd compare it to a classic car with a panel respray. Even if done by a body shop, it's always visible under certain light conditions and anyone looking for A1 has his eyes drawn to it
