Would you buy a Dollfie head with cracks at the neck?

It's an empty Karin head that Volks is also selling right now but the cracked head is obviously cheaper.
What I'm wondering is what you peeps think about buying a head with cracks? 
Is it an obvious NO BUY or would you also consider it if the price is cheaper than a new?
I'm not great at math (lol) but I estimate the difference is about 10-20 euro cheaper.

Maybe it's just because I'm still somewhat of a newbie, but that would make me a little nervous. 

Think of this: do you know how to fix the cracks, or prevent them from spreading? How much is the price difference if you factor in shipping? 

Idk

If it’s not even that much cheaper than buying a brand new head I wouldn’t bother buying it personally. Unless you know how to properly fix said cracks (if you even can, its not something I know much abt) the possibility of the head becoming unusable due to them is too strong for you to only save 10-20 euros. You’re better off buying the brand new head and not having to worry abt cracks at all

I'd say it all depends on how severe the cracks are. If they're only a few millimeters long and don't reach through to the underside of the head, then they won't impact handling and are easily arrestable. I had a few of my heads develop cracks like this and was able to keep them at bay with a small dab of superglue (do it in a low humidity environment or you risk getting that white halo around the glued spot).

I don't know how much the the head by itself is, but going by standard rates for blank Volks heads, 10-20 Euros off doesn't feel like a bad deal. 

Of course if the cracks are fairly large, I'd be more wary.
