Would you buy a house with bedbugs?

I saw a home for sale at a decent price, and the listing notes says it has bed bugs. Never dealt with them myself, but have heard they are tough to get rid of. It is listed at a decent price, but realtor says they already have 2 cash(!) offers the first day on the market. They say they will treat for the bugs once the current tenant moves out, but how do I know it will work? Have heard nightmare stories of people spending astronomical amounts of money getting rid of them. Would you or have you ever bought a house with bedbugs? Recommended treatment? Exterminator needed? Thanks.

Bedbugs or anything weird that is relatively easy to correct are deals I jump on.

They are all little dollar bills that stay in my pocket during closing.
