You can't use that device. Ask the people who ran the garage sale for a refund.

You've run into Apple's Activation Lock
The previous owner of the device (the one whose Apple ID is tied to the phone) is the only one that can unlock the device for use.
For instructions for the previous owner to follow to remove the device from Activation Lock, see the following:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If there's no way for you to contact the previous owner, you now have in your possession something that is pretty useless, sorry to say. I hope you didn't spend much on it being that it was purchased at a garage sale.
NNot much money, YouTube has a lot of ways to get past it but my gosh what a process. Thank you
TThank you.
