A clean and clear Apache (from any network) pretty much goes for around $200 in "like-new" condition. Perhaps for the $250 he is including a wall charger, extra battery, phone holster, etc. Who knows...
I'd rather pay the extra $100 to get a phone where I don't have a contract attached to it. Who knows what/where I'll be in 2 years and most providers charge a $200 termination fee PER LINE.
Some providers even allow you to buy insurance on the phone you've purchased refurbished for the $5/mo if you call into technical support and you can get a new one if anything goes wrong (typically they make you spend $50 each time though). That has been my experience.
