Are you saying you bought it from someone who brought it into the shop and want to unlock it to resell it?
If so, are you sure the person who brought it in really owned it?

Yes I need to unlock so I can resale ... We have things pawned all the time , that come for sale , . It could have been locked from previous owner thinking that they were goin to get it back an weren't able to .. All I know is that it says disabled, connect to I tunes ... Is there anything that can be done ..

Yes, connect it using an iPod-specific (white cable, should be in the box assuming you got a box) to a Mac or PC running iTunes and tell iTunes to perform a restore. That will take it back to the factory default state ready for re-sale.

you have to turn it off, and hold the home button while plugging in the white ipod cable, it should go inti restore mode, and you can restore, and resale from there

Hold it for about 10 seconds while it isn't plugged in.
