Welcome to the forum. While I'd love to come upon a layout in my next rental house, the prospect of paying so much to take on what could be someone else's ill planned headache is a daunting one. At that price, does it come with locomotives and rolling stock?
How secure and well laid is the track? How long would you be storing it and what kind of wood is it built with? Screws or nails? Particle board, wafer board and lower grade lumber would give you a fit in anything that wasn't climate controlled. Long term storage of anything wooden would require a couple coats of varnish to keep it from warping.
Is the wiring orderly and well planned or a spaghetti bowl? Is the display case nicely done with glass doors or open shelves? These things would speak volumes about the kind of person the builder is and ultimately the kind of layout you'd be buying.
In the end, you're the one who will set the price. $1500 is some serious green to part with without looking into just what it is you're buying.
