Playing your clarinet might not damage it per se. I may not have been clear in my original post. What I meant is that you could probably play it safely even if there is a crack. However if you notice that when you're playing it you are squeaking a lot you may want to consider having the crack re-filled. If you wanted to you could refill the crack yourself with superglue. There are many helpful videos online about crack repair and I encourage you to watch some of them.

Unfortunately the crack does significantly affect the value, however $300 is still a fair price for that instrument even if it is cracked in multiple times. Either way it should still be playable after it is serviced and it should still be a great clarinet. A properly repaired crack will leave the instrument playing just as good as it did before the crack.
