Hopefully I didn't do to bad on price? I've always wanted an old Bear what's y'all's thoughts? BUT mainly I need suggestions on a new string for it it's 56" and what is the recommended brace height for these older models?

Price seems about right to me if there are no obvious dings or structural problems.  My 60" Bears take an 8" brace height, but I don't know about a 56."  Put on a new string when you get it, unless you're sure it already has a new string.
