That ebay "restoration" project was a bad idea from the start.

Wrong era decals and even the enamel color is wrong if he had wanted to mimic a Thevenet era PY-10 bike. If he just intended a circa 1975 PX-10 model restoration, both the components and the decals would still be wrong for that frameset.
Yes, it's sad, but the cost of even correctly restoring a frameset can be a major expense and will seldom return the investment. In this case, he painted it himself so relatively little was spent. However, here is now a frameset with inappropriate decals. Now mated with parts from the 1960s to 1980s, it does not form a bike representing any precise moment in time.
I would not pay one fourth of the asking price for what is just a collection of someone's nice French bits... now tossed together. He would be better off re-selling the accumulation of components, and then try to sell the frameset alone. The frame size is a bit too large to be within the most desirable size range, but little had been invested for this venture, anyway.
I'm sure the seller had hoped to make a handsome profit by flipping this bike. He should have done his homework first.
