Buying used Cisco - what `sh` output should I ask the seller for?

There's plenty risk buying gray market gear online. How do you make sure you get it right? sh license and sh int status seem like obvious ones for most Cisco gear. For PoE switches, I could also think of sh power inline. Have I missed anything critical?

I'm most curious for switches, in particular.

Matching up the console output to item photos seems like a safe strategy.
