I would not pay nearly $400 for a used one, when you can get a new one for about that price.
In all honestly, I wouldn't buy a used one at any price, and perhaps not a new one either, but that is just my experience. I bought a used CD across the 'net about three years ago. The PO told me that it functioined flawlessly and he was only selling it because he needed the money. Hey, it was only $300.
Bottom line--it would not feed two cartridges in succession without a failure to feed.
I worked on the extractor, which helped a lot.
I replaced the recoil spring, which made no difference.
I tried lots of different ammo, which helped not one bit.
In the end, it was 95% relaibe--5 misfeeds out of 100 rounds. Still nowhere near acceptable. I sold it, at a loss, with full disclosure.
