I'm under the assumption that buying a crypto wallet would be a wallet that someone has all the credentials to access said wallet such as: Pin, Seed phrase, mnemonic pw, and anything else needed to access it. I looked into purchasing a wallet, and when I asked the seller about these things, he got confused and didn't give me the answer I was looking for. Can someone let me know what to expect when trying to acquire a wallet? And can I acquire a wallet with everything I need to access it?

You're absolutely right to be cautious about buying a crypto wallet with pre-loaded credentials. It's highly dangerous and not recommended to purchase a wallet where someone else has access information. Here's why:

Why Buying a Pre-Configured Wallet is Risky:

Security Breach: If the seller has the credentials, they could have compromised the wallet and potentially stolen your funds.
Loss of Control: You wouldn't truly own the wallet, as someone else could access and control your crypto assets.
Potential Scam: This scenario sounds highly suspicious and could be a scam to steal your money.
What to Expect When Buying a Crypto Wallet:

Hardware Wallets: When buying a new hardware wallet directly from a reputable manufacturer, you should receive a sealed device with no pre-loaded information. You'll be responsible for setting up your own PIN and generating your own seed phrase, which grants access to your funds.
Software Wallets: Reputable software wallets won't store your private keys on their servers. Instead, you'll be responsible for creating and managing your own keys, ensuring no one else has access.
What You Can Buy:

New Hardware Wallets: Purchase directly from the manufacturer or authorized retailers. Never buy a used hardware wallet.
Software Wallets: Download directly from the provider's website or official app store. Avoid third-party sources.
Remember:

Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone.
Only buy from trusted sources.
Do your research and understand the risks involved before purchasing any crypto wallet.
Additional Tips:

Consider starting with a small amount of crypto when using a new wallet to minimize potential losses.
Research different wallet options and choose one that suits your needs and security preferences.
Regularly update your wallet software for security patches.
By following these guidelines, you can safely acquire a crypto wallet and manage your digital assets responsibly.

Thank you for that, unfortunately that not what I meant though and after rereading my post , I should've phrased it differently. What I was getting at, is there any hacked wallets that one would be able to purchase?
