ask how much miles it has been
If it's still in the car go shift through all the gears.
Unless he installed some seriously built tranny, I would be suspect as to why he removed the one he has for sale.
You could still operate the trans manually(shifter assembly), but without it being installed or apart it is hard to say if there is any damage or not. I suppose you could pull the drain plug, but if the trans wasnt stored in it's normal orientation any deposits will have moved away from the drain(usual trick), so if it looks like brand new fluid also question it. Roll the tranny to and fro, side to side, and then allow to sit with the drainplug sitting low for 5-10 minutes and check again. Also check the conditions of the axle seals.
