Don't base anything on eBay prices. Just because you may see Noblets selling at a considerably low price doesn't mean they're inherently faulty. More likely they're not as popular as Buffets and the same is true with Leblancs. If you are looking for an upgrade, then any pro level Leblanc is worth considering.
And another thing you have to consider is having it overhauled. Don't let the initial low cost of buying one used cloud your judgement on how much you think you should or shouldn't pay to have it overhauled. A pro level clarinet is still a pro level clarinet whether you buy it new or used and it's always worth spending the money on having a top quality overhaul done at whatever cost. And if anything, it'll be far better finished than it was when it was bought new as the repairer should have put any faults that were overlooked at the factory right.
