It's a clever way to sell the risk on, "Can't be started due to belts". Excuse me, but they are £38 the last time I bought some, so why not fit them and jump start it to see where the oil leaks from?
Rally bearings are 500 quid to buy, not install or anything. I was working on DIY costs as well, and to do the job properly I believe is no less than 1.5K in parts alone. And it probably will need shimming and valve guides 1000 miles down the road anyway. At 3K would be a massive gamble as you don't know how it has been stored or anything..sure is a damn fine, untouched bike but it would only suit to be put in a Museum and dusted down every now and again. If you were to buy and ride it you'll be putting almost as much money in it as you've paid for..
