Found a "bricked" phone, iffy on buying...

I found a really good deal on a 16gb iPhone 3G, but the owner describes the problem as, "The phone comes up with the pineapple logo, hangs for a few seconds, then powers down." I don't want to ask him about DFU mode and possibly give away a good deal if he tries it and it works...is an iPhone ever really "bricked?" Does anyone know if DFU mode MIGHT be able to restore a phone in this condition?

Quick replies, please...a deal this good sure won't last long if I can fix it...

yeah, its almost impossable to brick it(unplugging it during unlock)...maybe, even that can be fixed.
