Over priced IMO, probably can get it for $12-15k depending on matching parts, condition, accessories etc... I would try and talk the guy down a couple thousand dollars, if you are buying in person from a friend or someone you know remind them you are saving them time and hassle of having to selling it online, plus the savings of the 10% or w/e the fee the middle man seller would take.
Here is the current market price

Spartikis, the chart you reference is for
tube guns -- MP40s which came in as parts kits and were built up on tubes of varying quality, and registered here.
The chart for MP40 C&R guns is here:
http://www.machinegunpriceguide.com/html/german_subguns_6.html
It lists the average at $17k or so. But most C&R MGs available today are either refinished or SN mixmasters -- an original finish, matching-number C&R MG commands a premium.
In addition, MP40s have been very popular with reenactors, who bought 'em cheap decades ago blanked them, beat the living crap out of them and often refinished them regularly. This one apparently escaped that fate, and that makes it more rare and valuable. (Reminds me of when folks were buying NIB M16A2s back around Y2K for $5k, then cerecoting them black to match their new accessories. Sigh.)
The flaws do not look serious to me. The gun is 71 years old, been through a war, then dragged to another continent in a duffle bag. I hope I look that good when I hit 71 ...
Does it have the original capture papers with it? If not, are you buying from the estate of the GI? An FOIA request would be fascinating. I know, buy the gun, not the story ... but in my experience, while the market may not add much value to such documentation, individual collectors do love it.
So $19k may be top price ... but it's a great example, judging from the pix and info you give.
You can't pay too much for a machine gun; you can only pay it too soon.
Your Mileage May Vary.
