Great price as long as there's no nasty surprises. Those Look Ergo stems were used on track and time trial machines for riders to fine tune their position...

Photo is crap. hard to tell, but something doesn't look right. Looks like the lugs for the binder bolt are missing. Pretty sure these should be on the rear of the seat tube. Some funny detailing at the top of the seat stays too. Looks like there's a bolt, but it looks way too low/in wrong position for clamping the seatpost unless it got some funky wedges on the inside that compress against the seatpost itself, but that's getting too tricksy for Merlin/Ti

I'm not convinced it's a Merlin*. The seat clamp arrangement, the top tube cable guides and the rear dropouts all look wrong to me.
Regardless of that it's still a Ti frame and it's got some nice kit on it for the money. Those stems are sought after and the headset looks like it could be a Mavic example?.
* I have been wrong on numerous occasions, on many and varied subjects, so don't take my word for it!
