as others pointed out, you're basically out of luck with any kind of official Apple warranty on a used Nano. They haven't made those in like over a decade now, so even if it's technically still under some original warranty period, Apple isn't honoring anything on them anymore.
That said, it depends on where you're buying it from, right? Like if you're getting it from eBay or Facebook Marketplace from some random person, then no warranty at all. But if you buy from like a used electronics store or reseller, some of them offer their own limited warranty on stuff - usually just 30 days or maybe 90 days if you're lucky. Did you find a specific listing somewhere? That would help know what you're actually getting into.
The real thing to focus on is just checking the condition before you buy. Make sure the screen works, the buttons aren't too worn out, battery still holds a charge (though you might need to replace that anyway). If you're spending any real money on it, ask the seller a bunch of questions about how it's been used and if it powers on and stuff. That's gonna be way more important than worrying about a warranty that doesn't exist.
Used iPods typically don't come with any manufacturer warranty since Apple stopped supporting them years ago. If you're buying from a private seller, you'd basically be getting whatever condition it's in with no guarantees, though some resellers might offer their own limited warranty. Your best bet is to test it thoroughly before purchasing and maybe check the battery health if possible. honestly, at this point most nano's are pretty old so I'd just focus on finding one in good working condition rather than counting on warranty coverage.
You're basically buying it as-is from a private seller. Apple's long done with those, so no warranty from them. Your only protection is whatever the seller promises, which is usually nothing. Best bet is to test it out before you hand over cash and hope it keeps working.
like others said, you're basically not getting any official Apple warranty on a used Nano since they discontinued support way back. I mean, Apple stopped making these things in like 2017 or so, so any warranty they did offer expired a long time ago. If your seller claims theres a warranty on it, id be pretty skeptical unless its a refurbished unit from an authorized retailer, and thats pretty rare to find these days.
What you really want to focus on is the condition of the device itself when you buy it. Check if the battery still holds a charge, make sure the screen isn't cracked, test out the click wheel or buttons depending on which model it is. Some of these older Nanos can still run for years if they were treated okay, but others are basically done. Ive seen people get lucky picking up used ones that work great, but thats more luck than anything else.
If you're worried about it dying on you, honestly just make sure you're buying from someone with good feedback or reputation, test it thoroughly before handing over cash, and maybe lowball the price a little to account for the risk. Thats just the nature of buying old tech. Ive been around long enough to know that sometimes the older stuff is more reliable than you'd expect, but you gotta do your homework first.
