I'd walk away - too many better situations out there to get hung up on a weak one.
Compression is below the 10% range the other guy suggested.
Unless you want to buy it for $ 1,000 and rebuild, forget it.
Try ARG Marine's web site, Florida. Ask for Victor. I bought my used outboard there after SERIOUS shopping around. Had it shipped up to NJ, and was very careful about everthing.
Well, I got a great engine, saved a pile of money, and they shipped it in a strong sturdy crate. Good people in my experience, because I asked a LOT of questions and they answered to my complete satisfaction.
