Hi Don, if you're purchasing a refurbished device through Apple, you won't have any problems with iCloud. They know what they're doing. If you're purchasing a second-hand device from an end-user, there's a chance they may not have disabled the anti-theft provisions now part of iOS. Resetting the device isn't enough, since this is the first thing a thief will try. The owner of the Apple ID with whom the device has been associated needs to have disabled association with their iCloud account before passing it on.
