Yeah. If I were local and could inspect it in person...
Bridge kind of looks like a Guild Bridge, and kind of looks like it was hand carved.

Yeah ... you can order replacement bridges from Larrivee... even the 12-string standard bridge is only $75.
Would inspect in person but no way would I consider getting it shipped. The fact that there's recurring bridge issues along with high action could indicate warping issues. Wouldn't be uncommon with a 12 string. Good chance that this is more than a bridge replacement and truss rod adjustment. The 300 + minimum repair costs (if you do it yourself and nothing is warped) would add up the amount I've seen these go for in good shape.
Like I say, if you can inspect it yourself and you really know what you're looking for, it might be an OK deal. Probably not the steal it seems to be.
