Hello to all, a newbie question, I found what seems to be a Buffet-Crampon clarinet

That someone is asking $80.00 for. It has the Buffet- Crampon logo on the case, but not on the instrument.
There is some fine engraving that has a serial number (?) The number is 101483. Under that is engraved Made in Germany. Can anyone tell me a little about this instrument and it's approximate value? Pic included

As you probably know, the logo on the case doesn't indicate what the instrument make is. Also this picture doesn't help me ID the instrument. Maybe someone else can note something about the keywords. Sorry.
 
A little on the blurry side, too. OK, a lot on the blurry side.

* Assumption: it's by Buffet
* Assumption: it's made in Germany
* Conclusion: it's a Buffet B12 student horn or an E11 intermediate-student horn

Should you buy it? Too many variables. It's possible that the mouthpiece, alone, is worth more than $80. It's possible that the horn has all fused keys and springs and it'd cost several hundred $ to get it into playing condition.
