I'm considering buying a custom-built PC from my local marketplace for $525. The seller showed me a video, and everything looks good. He claims he built it in 2022-2023 and has only used it lightly for gaming, like Call of Duty and GTA. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I want to know if this price is reasonable compared to just buying a prebuilt online. Below are the components listed on Newegg. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I agree with the others. $525 is a total scam for that setup, especially if it includes an older GPU like the 1050. A fair price would be much lower than that!
Honestly, I think you're way overpaying here. You could probably get a similar setup for around $200, max. Don't fall for the hype and make sure to do your research!
Dude, you're definitely overpaying. You can find better deals elsewhere for around $300, plus there are specials at stores like Microcenter where you can get better gear for less. I wouldn't spend that much on a 1050 Ti either!

Right?! The 1050 Ti isn't worth that much anymore, especially with newer options available at a better price.
