Hello guys,
When you're buying from an unofficial store, is there any method or trick to know a new apple pencil has not been used before (Something like checking an iphone's activation status or so)??
That the salesman is cheating you by selling you a second hand device, in form of a brand new one.

P.S: Surely, I don't have access to an official retail store.
 
Where are you situated in? Try to go for those unopened sets and/or shops with good return policy in the event that you got an used/spoilt Pencil

I would also physically inspect it thoroughly to make sure it doesn't have any type of use that you can see on it. And make sure you are fully aware of the return period as well.
