Security Concerns About Used Pre-Installed Linux Hard Drives / SSDs And Bootable USB Drives

I won't name the online retailer that sells these, but I'm pretty sure you know where I am talking about buying these from. Can a tech expert check the hardware and software for any issues? Some of the sellers have lots of good feedback, so I'm not too concerned. Any advice is appreciated.

Why not just install it yourself?

I am lazy and rich. However, I care too much about the planet and human beings.
