Check whether strings are included, whether the grip fits and what shipping costs. A low price only helps if the racquet works for you.
Consider a previous generation
A sale can be useful. Confirm the full model name and condition. For used frames, inspect for cracks, deformation and wear with someone who knows racquet equipment.
