Repo compressor sold as is any idea how jacky this is? Thinking if its cheap we might for it but other than the fact our LDS has a compressor we don't know much about them. Just be nice to have one at home to avoid trips to the shop.
Question Exactly how janky is this?

You need to consider total cost of ownership to include servicing and getting new filters. That Leeson P14K34DB1D is simply the motor powering the compressor. If the LDS is an hour+ each way and in the opposite direction of the dive site, owning might be feasible.
While I'm not big into compressors, some things I learned from @DandyDon here, and my LDS, if the oil in the compressor over heats you can wind up with CO in your tanks. Mucho no bueno. Then there's the need for filtered dry air to prevent corrosion in your tanks, regs, etc.
If the dive shop is an hour away but in the direction of your dive site, I'd be more inclined to keep a fair number of tanks on hand then deal with maintaining a compressor. This way I could leave a couple at the shop to fill, then dive the next set. On the way home swap them out and be ready for the next trip.

Not saying you should or shouldn't, but it looks like there is an additional (very similar) compressor block there in the pictures. It seems it is being sold under Lot of (1) Leeson P14K34DB1D....
And there's an 18% buyers premium added on. Pretty steep hit.
Knowing the owner, as jankey as you can get. Notice in 508 listings on that auction, there isn't anything but junk?
The compressors at his shop are garbage, I'm sure his garbage he is dumping isn't any better.
