used is my favorite word for electronics. i wouldnt think twice unless it was broken duh lol. and the only other thing if you worried but must be warned is the warrenty if you buy it used it might not have warrenty thats the only thing you risk but shoot half off is an awesome price. you never find them that cheap in a retail store

Personally, I wouldn't. I mean it would be fine if it was taken care of properly but the problem is the condition of the hard drive. A couple hard drops can cause bad sectors to start happening, which you don't know about till you do a comprehensive hard disk check. Once too many bad sectors accumulate, the ipod can start freezing or hard disk failure. But then again thats after a year or so usually. IMO get a new ipod and get an extended warranty. It's worth the extra money not to have to worry about you ipod failing in the end.

No it wouldn't be a problem. Here are some things u should look for-
1-Where is it from? I reccommend buying it from a good electronics store.
2-How many years it has been used?
3-Is it functioning properly?Ask the store manager for a some type of thing that if doesn't work, you should be able to get a refund.
Lastly, how much is it and does it suit its functions, remember you're buying a used iPOD.
If all these are reasonable then it shouldn't be a problem.

You should be able to buy a 2GB Nano for less than $150. That would be my first choice, but Nano's don't have a hard drive so they should have fewer problems than the old models and you might find a good used one.
I just sold a brand new 2GB on eBay for $125 with free shipping.

If you don't want to spend too much money, a used one will be fine.

No, not at all, as long as you know it is fully functional.
