ever been duped ordering "new" CDs on Amazon?


I can't be alone on this. I buy most of my CDs on Amazon. But about 30% of my CDs that are suppose to be NEW aren't. Granted these CDs tend to be old releases (>10 years), but the sellers advertise as new. These do not come in there original factory plastic wrap and have missing seals. Some CDs are blatantly used with scratches and finger prints on them. I've always got my money back on these supposed new CDs, but I'm a little ticked these sellers are trying to pass used goods as new.

I've had different experience - bought used CDs at Amazon Marketplace but received new. Few times CD was brand new but without wrapper but couple of times I got one that was in the wrapper with seals. I tend to buy used because I rip it to Hard Disk anyway. Brand new CDs from Amazon were always brand new.
I buy +/- 50 CDs a year thru Amazon and have never had the problem (that I spotted, anyway). I choose to buy, rip, and send the original to the car, rather than download, burn, and send to the car. Not sure what kind of animal that makes me...

I haven't had that problem, but I've received multiple new 2-LP sets that had two of the same disc rather than one of each.
When I order Used CD's from the vendors on Amazon the lowest discription I go is very good. I also check feedback for things like item as described or item in excellent or like new condition.If the CD is thrashed I email the vendor and I have always received a refund.
I have bought items that were listed New and they were unwrapped but the CD was pristene,that doesn't bother me because it is new in my book.
The shipping is what bothers me,why they cannot combine them is something Amazon should clear up,is it because of their policy or the vendors. If it's the vendor then either thsy combine the shipping or I find another vendor.
