I would be a little reluctant to purchase a used CF frame. You never know what it's been through and one of the downsides with CF is that damage can be hidden. If possible, get it fully inspected. If you want to do an inspection yourself, some vasoline and a blacklight is a pretty good method for detecting exterior cracks. However, bear in mind that there may be damage on the inside that can't be detected easily.
