You need to consider the total cost of the instrument after all the repairs have been completed.
Just re-padding it may not be all that needs to be done; most likely tone holes need refinishing, wobbly trill keys fixed, etc. need to be addressed too for the instrument to be 100% reliable.
If done by an expert technician, the repair easily can be over $300-$400.
I am not advising against buying the clarinet. I am advising to consider how much the end product may cost.
