If you have access to the internet go to

http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html

and type in the iphone serial number. It tells you when it was manufactured and other details about it.

the website is dutch and english. English is on the left hand side, dutch on the right.

I cannot think how you can tell if its brand new or not just from looking at it. Best thing to do would be to buy from a reputable shop.

If it's sealed in the box with the plastic wrapper, it's new.

It is possible to unlock a 3G iPhone with a sim card adapter available online for around $40-50. I've heard good and bad things, but it just depends on which one you get.

Also, if you can buy a broken/damaged iPhone, you can take it into an Apple store to get it replaced with a potentially new/most likely refurbished model (from Apple, though), for $200. So say if someone is selling one with a cracked screen for $50, you buy that, get a sim adapter for $50, and get the phone replaced, that's $300 + tax, and wouldn't have a contract tied to it.

Yah, just take it to the Apple Store and defraud them so we can pay £2000 for the next iPhone!
