The ad makes it very clear that she isn't tame and she is unfriendly. This price is only $625 though. I just don't know I need some help thanks

Are you sure this isn't a scam first of all?
Difficult to judge as all you have said is :-
female ekkie, not friendly, for sale $625
What is going through your mind? How set up are you for a parrot? What do you know about parrots and Ekkie's in particular?

have you got a link to the ad?
Some of us here have dealt with scammers some (me) having fallen for them and have become well-versed at spotting suspect ads
Ask for pictures, with a date in the picture, or for them to hold up a strange object if you suspect anything. Of course some you will find and just through looking through a couple pictures can tell they're legit, one of the few upsides of facebook sellers. I opt for a banana personally

personally I'd wait and adopt a rescue. I cant see the point of tying myself to an antisocial bird for the next 40 years just because she's cheaper than breeder babies. The point of a pet parrot is companionship but they have a lifespan 4x that of most dogs. If you arent an experienced parrot owner you're in for a long and possibly unrewarding battle if you think you're going to tame her. Not saying it cant be done, just helping you think through the frustrations of ownership with a bird that wants no part of you. I recently had the opportunity to adopt a bird one of the few birds at the top of my list (not an ekkie) for a very reasonable fee. After meeting the bird at his owners home there was no connection and I left feeling very disappointed but wiser.
