أَيَشْتَرِي — who would buy. The question prefix a- fused onto a present-tense verb 'buys', making a rhetorical question — 'who would buy ...?' expecting the answer 'no one'. The a- is what turns the statement into a question; the verb's 'he' is general, standing for any buyer. It frames the absurdity of the bargain.
