Do I need to worry about buying a used Apple TV? (alien.top)

I am looking to buy a used Apple TV on eBay, but the seller doesn't know if it has been factory reset or not. If I buy it, and it is still tied to the user's Apple account. Can I do a factory reset and tie it to my account without having to jump through a bunch of hoops, like having to know a pin or password?

What to do before you sell or give away your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD

Also, verify what AppleTV Model it is. The market is full of Older AppleTV HD… and the listings I see cqll them 4K

Here is a list of Model Numbers for your reference.

You can find great information on every Apple Product at the link below:

eBay and PayPal Protection MAY cover your purchase, but, if the Seller has already disclosed that he doesn’t know whether it has been reset, and made you aware of it, Purchase Protection may not cover you.
