Onemagicru - I'd be tempted to steer clear of that M-Trax frame if the price goes up much beyond where it is now. For a couple of reasons...
For starters, those M-Trax/ Dynatech bonded tubes were known for unexpectedly un-bonding.
Also, eyebrows, there is a good chance that this dude is taking photos in the dark to mask a serious defect or overall crappy state of the frame...I bought a frame from this seller a few months ago and it was utterly misdescribed; seat post and BB were totally siezed (even though he claimed to have run a bike shop - not details that anyonw who knows bikes woudl neglect to mention). When I contacted him to sort it out he sent me a series of the most crazed, stream of consciousness rants about his wife's eating disorder and how his neighbours were persecuting him for being a Xenophobe...seriously! A certifiable nut job! I put it down to experience and have kept the frame as a back-up...but once bitten and all that!
