House of Boost
Have you looked much at the vehicle classified section on here? You can get a good gauge of what cars like this are being sold for. It's a clean car for sure, and the low miles is very attractive. One owner is also very attractive as well. I don't think the $14,900 price is outrageous, but I do think between $14,000 and $14,200 is more in line.
A simple cam swap with full bolt-ons usually puts a LS1 around the 400 rwhp mark. I would expect a Procharged LS1 with bolt-ons to make well over 450 rwhp. It would help to know if it's a P1SC or D1SC. With those number, I assume it's a P1SC.

Is it an auto or manual? I would offer them $2k over what they paid. If they don't like it, they can pound sand. A $2k profit on a used vehicle isn't bad at all. They are just being greedy.

That said, I would also make sure the internal condition of the engine is good. Compression test, check oil condition. If you're going to pay that much over normal retail, it should be top notch mechanically and cosmetically. Hire a professional to check it out, worth every dollar in this case.
A really good, multi-part question that you need to figure the answers for is: Why did this car end up at auction? I do a lot of work on used dealer cars and it is usually obvious why they ended up at auction.
