I may be of little help, but, considering the costs you mentioned and that you may prefer to buy new-- Last year I bought a Selmer student clarinet from our local Long & McQuade music store for $175 Canadian Dollars. That includes our HST sales tax of 15%--the price without tax was $150CAD (=$120 US).
Maybe a better option than Amazon? I have been out of teaching Band for 23 years, so am certainly no expert on beginner instrument prices/rental prices anymore. But back in the '80s I recall a new Yamaha student clarinet or a Bundy, etc. being in the $400 range. And I recall the quality being way worse. I have practiced the new Selmer almost every day for 14 months with no repairs necessary.
