Do you have the phone in hand? Do you know the history of the phone (water, drop, lightning, etc)? There are really many possibilities, maybe he just put the wrong sim card in...

You still can't know if it is fixable unless you buy it and try and fix it, even if the seller has a good feedback rating, it isn't going to be depict whether you can fix it or not. So really it's up to you, it could be as simple as a new sim card, flashing a new modem or rom etc, or it may be unfixable and left with a Galaxy S portable music player. I would have a good search around for others who have had this issue and see what fixed it.
