A 2011 iMac is obsolete, you cannot run any OS more modern than High Sierra. That means that many apps you may want to run will be unable to be installed.

If you do buy, it's best to have hands on experience with it before buying. Many folks have been burned by buying used Macs online. Be sure the previous owner has followed these instructions:

Also it would be best if the previous owner has the install DVD's it shipped with because you may not be able to use Recovery without them.
