I got the CZ75BD about four years ago. NIB for $389ish. It's the decocker model. I still shoot it regularly. Accurate, good ergonomics, reliable. I put the Kadet Kit .22 conversion on it to get additional trigger time on the same frame w/o the cost of the 9mm. Very happy with mine. You will probably get a flood of support on the CZ.
Hard to say about that price of yours. Don't know the model or the condition.

Is that a new or used price? Current models are 75B...quite reasonable price for one if new. I have the 75B decocker model - tough to get a decent trigger job on that model, if you can even find a smith to try it. You can get a good trigger job on the regular 75B with a safety.
General reputation is quite accurate, extremely reliable!!, well built, good factory service should it be needed. Only down side is some folks find them a bit on the heavy side.
Wander around the CZ forum for more info...

Good: Inexpensive weapon, excellent ergonomics for me, cocked-and-locked, high capacity, steel construction, accurate as can be, quite reliable according to fans on the forums.
Bad: Trigger out of the box in DA can be heavy/gritty, heavier than polymer competitors (but that's offset by making recoil more manageable I'd say), smallish front sights, magazine brake.
You can bend the magazine brake yourself, it's a piece of flat stamped steel in the magwell that puts a little pressure on the magazine to keep it from dropping freely when the mag release is pushed. I don't like that feature since if I want to change a magazine I want to change it fast.
Try pointing the weapon with your eyes closed, then checking out how your sight alignment looks. That's been a way I've used in the past to see if a pistol fit me more or less.
Good luck.

my range report: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=188060&highlight=cz-75b
The CZ has superb ergonomics, steel frame, reliable, and dead nuts accurate. Below is a pic of 10 shots at about 10 meters.

The CZ 75 is freakishly accurate, completely reliable, feeds everything, and has a very durable all-steel construction that is pretty tough. The ergonomics are oustanding, IMO, especially with the CZ rubber grips (not the standard plastic ones). If that $350 is for a NIB gun, then that's a pretty good price. If it's for a used, then look elsewhere. I've seen them with 4 hi-caps, holster, box, case, etc. for $300 and under.
$350 is what I paid for a CZ75B in excellent condition. Moderately used. A few scratch marks on the slide. I know that's high in most places, but over here in MD brand-new CZs were going at $400+. 
Shooting wise, it's the sweetest among all the handguns I've tried. It fits and aims naturally, and accuracy is excellent for a service pistol. I've also bought the Kadet .22LR kit, and it is a joy to shoot as well.
Now for the gratuitous gun porn ...

I have the 85 combat, basicly an ambi version of the 75. The accuracy is amazing, goes bang every time I pull the triger, with whatever ammo I put in it. All in all the CZ is about the best pistol you can get for the money, easily as good as some that you will pay $200 to $300 more for. now for some GGP

Very good price then, IMHO.
If this is a gun shop, I wouldn't expect that much. Don't the Bersas usually go for only around $200 NIB?
I've detail-stripped mine with minimal tools, but I wouldn't try "improving" the trigger unless I had a manual or something. You yourself said you didn't know much about CZs, and a CZ trigger is quite different in design than other popular autoloaders.
I got mine from J&G, but they take awhile to ship if it's back-ordered.

http://www.44mag.com/ extra mags. about $10 ea.
I've had my 75b four months and I"m still getting used to it. I improved the trigger by dry fireing (do it with a snap cap in). It's good but not great (my hi standard supermatic has the perfect trigger IMHO). Send the gun off to Ghost Services in Az. for a trigger job, if you're looking for really good.
I ordered extra mags from .44mag.
Recently I added a Kaydet conversion, a great way to shoot your 9mm on the cheap.
For $350 bucks it's a great value.

just so you know
There can be reliability issues with cz. Some say it's weak springs. And some of us have not had the best experience with customer service either. YMMV
My bersa is stone cold reliable. I would keep yours if I were you.
You could do worse than cz. I would sell you mine cheap but I still have a bit of integrity left.

what is your offer?
I ain't gonna give it away as I spent real US dollars to buy it and I want real US dollars back. And you would have to acknowledge that you knew the gun has problems.
