I believe this is “worth” something more like $800 but even that price I would not buy it. Any advice on making a super lowball offer like $200?? I don’t want to piss off the seller, but if they really want to sell it I would certainly take it for that.

Just make an offer that's $50 below your absolute maximum. If they take it, great. If they counter within $100 of that, hit them with your maximum as a counter. Don't worry about pissing them off. They might have set an auto-reject below a certain dollar amount. You'll know, if the offer is rejected instantly.
