Default used AC compressor, how can I tell if it's good or not?

I plan on buying an (used) AC compressor, how can I tell if it's going to be good or not?

Flip a coin!!! Make sure the clutch isn't seized. If you are getting it from a junkyard, when removing, if you still have pressure in the lines, I would say that is a good sign it is good. I would look for a car that was totaled since it shows the car still had life before being wrecked.

$150 bucks new off eBay.

I just replaced mine. It looks new, clutch spins fine. It's bad. I'd save up a little more and just get a new one. It'll end up being cheaper in the long run.
