hd2 stuck in reboot

[match417]

I"ve got a wanted ad on craigslist for HD2's and this guy called me yesterday. We had arranged a meet for today but he called me before we were supposed to meet and said he was trying to get all of his files off of it before he sold it and he got it stuck in a reboot. Is this an easy fix? It's for a good deal. He said it's not hacked, and he didn't know about putting android on it. So I am waiting on him to get it out of the reboot. As far as I know it's a fully stock, unmodified phone. Should I still get it? I'm going to put android on it and delete windows all together, but I haven't heard of this problem. THanks!
