I can't see the low Bb there as there's no room in the case for it. I have a Marigaux low Bb extension barrel with a key on it so it links up to the low B key and closes along with it - to disengage it you only have to turn it a few degrees to get low B natural again.

I can't understand why they'd be selling a used 930 cor for more than a new one. Your best bet is get as much info on this cor - especially the serial number and contact Marigaux themselves to find out more about it and if it was supplied with a low Bb barrel. They do keep their value well, but no woodwind instruments increase in value when sold as used (apart maybe from older Selmer SBA and MkVI saxes in top notch condition).
