Most to all of the backend work could probably be kept. IDK about how this site is hosted but I'm just going to guess that the admins have done all of the hard work in figuring out scalability and all of that jazz. If traffic were to increase there may be some other stuff that would need added in terms of DB sharding, microservices, or just general cleanup, but by in large that should be good. That right there is worth money. Not a ton, but there are a lot of features on here that work and were probably built from the ground up.
The actual site is the part that needs work. Mobile is a huge part of the game right now and having a real mobile site or even an app should be the first priority. The site right now is alright but could be better. Mobile would require either building out an entire app in Java, or by using an Angular/React native bundler. In my mind, using a React Native/Nativescript bundler would make more sense, as you could also build out a desktop and a mobile responsive site with the same framework. IDK, it's a lot of work. Just to rebuild the site, clean up bugs, and add either a PWA site or a straight up app would take a while to rewrite everything, probably several months for 2-3 guys part time. It's doable, but would be slow.
As stated before, I'm down to help out, but don't really have the time or the experience (especially on the mobile side) to lead, you'd probably want someone that's already working on it.
X is probably doing you guys a favor by not allowing you to buy this place, real talk.
