Be carefull it may be cheap for a reason!

The condition of the outside of the unit can tell a lot of stories if its dirty, grubby or covered in scratches then its had a lot of use and you may expect some future probs.

The black laser assembly will have some movement because its seated on 3 rubber bountings, and the laser lens its self will have a little movement aswell. The best thing as Toaster mentioned is to listen carefully to the boot sequence which should be realy quiet and ##### a couple of games to see what the FMV sequences are like, any skipping and this could point to a laser problem, but this can be cleared up with a minor adjustment. After all, all moving parts take time to bed in and thats why you have points to make adjustments!

##### that everything works, i.e. both controlers preferable the dual shock type, memory card slots etc as these are all governed by separate internal fuses.

If there is a problem then it should soon show it self!
