It might not be a lot for what it is but it seems like a lot to spend on a used bike which I assume is many miles away from you.
If I was going to spend that kind of money I would want to deal with a local shop.

Then its nice to provide the bike so we can be sure this is what your asking about:

>bike blue book 2022 S-Works Aethos with Red eTap in the best condition possible:
Conclusion: that is high private range sale, probably best to buy locally

If I was spending that kind of money on a used (or new) bike, I’d definitely want to inspect in person and test ride.

Thanks for saving me money and a headache all! I’ll wait until something closer comes up. Or save and buy a No22 titanium.

Dream build with that bar tape?
Why have they had enough of it after less
than 100 miles? And it looks like at least $14k’s worth at UK prices (if you believe any bike is worth that). Something seems fishy.

Does not accept returns. That is a red flag for me. 7.5k. Sight unseen. No way

What frames were they using in 2022? Current frames for S-Works Aethos is Fact 12r. But if that is Fact 10r, then you could get a Specialized Aethos Expert for much less money brand new.

If No.22 is on your radar, I say go for it. The S-work is a nice machine but a No.22 would be unique, built for you and likely last a lifetime. I am a little biased, because I know some of the folks that make them (former Serotta staff), but they have won awards and make some pretty sweet rigs.
