im thinking of buying this bike
https://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/D=vehicles/V=bidding/R=2400637

i've looked very closely at the damage and can only see the panel that's obvious.

my question is do the forks look straight to you?
and what sort of price should i pay for it

going to see it on monday so can get a better look/pics by then

From them pics, forks look straight to me, the lower panel on the right hand side looks scuffed with some crap on, but apart from that I would probs expect to pay around £800-£1000, but it's a sachs(cheap chinese type bike) so... Confused

cant see the forks to tell, we can only see the bottom of the forks.

seems like it's been down the road on the right, or been in a car accident

Why not ask the salvage company?
Basically I would never buy a bike online before going to see it.

They usually turn out to be money pits.
