Q: What should I look for when buying a used iPod 5th generation?

Hi there, I'm looking to get a new iPod 5 from a pawn shop and I want to know what to look for( signs of a bad iPod) before purchasing it. I don't want to have to buy one from apple as it's too exspensive. Thanks for the advice.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Make sure the activation lock has been removed
Find My iPhone Activation Lock
This will help determine if it has been removed
Apple's new iCloud tool can show if a used iPhone is stolen

Make sure it is not broken and it works, including the headphone jack and speakers.
Make sure the liquid indicator by the headphone jack is not red/pink
