What's it worth?

I have been without an instrument since my high school days. I'm not versed in valuing instruments.

A friend of a friend has offered to sell me her clarinet. She is out of town and does not know it's worth. (Her parents bought it for her years ago.) I am researching it to offer her a fair price.

It's a wooden clarinet, not plastic. I see no cracks or other damage.

The mouthpiece says "James M. Pyne", "Clarion", "Sinfonic".

The bell says "Amati Krasuce" as best as I can make out, with an "ak" symbol.

Elsewhere on the instrument is a serial number, the "ak" symbol again and the code "ACL 311".

The case is in fine shape and clean. There is no brand name listed on it.

All corks need replaced and most pads look as though they need it, too. The entire instrument needs a good, proper cleaning.

Thank you for any information you can offer.
