I'm not saying don't go for a certain shaper - they get their reputations from being good!, but I would rather have a well shaped board by a completely unknown shaper than a beat up 2nd hand board by the best shaper in the world.
Form follows Function - ie. Make sure it works properly first, then worry what it looks like!!
Make sure you check the board over thoroughly to make sure it's clean - you should get a feel for whether it's good or not.
