Depends.
I picked up a Bb Boosey and Hawkes from a Junk shop a couple of years ago
for £25 - my son was taking lessons at school and had the loan of a
similar
instrument so it wasn't exactly unknown - and a chinese clarinet that
happened to have a great tone (for Rock/Jazz but nothing else!) for a
tenner. So price isn't everything, the owner may know less about
instruments
than you.

Why not pick up a decent reed and take it with you to try the instrument?
If
you like you buy, if you don't you take the reed back for the next one
that
comes up.  Explain to the owner that it's for hygiene reasons, etc.

Good luck.
Terry
