That’s not a simlock.
The new owner has attempted to root the phone, and to make that more difficult the phone has a locked bootloader so that only the correct Android OS will work.
If the owner just resets the phone and hasn’t already bricked it, then it should behave as normal and accept any SIM.
Tell the buyer to take a hike. If the phone is now useless it’s because of what the new owner has done to it.
