ever been duped ordering "new" CDs on Amazon?

I don't give a rusty fart what someone says, I buy CDs. I average 1.5-2 a week. The majority are from Amazon marketplace. On the rare occasion I've had an issue I've gotten a refund. My biggest gripe is when I buy multiple CDs from the same seller I have to pay the $2.98 shipping for each item. I'd be happy to pay half the shipping for each additional CD title. I just think it's penny-ante to do it at full charge for each CD.

Years ago I bought "Best of the Guess Who" from a fellow in Canada off of Ebay. He sent me an obscure single called "the Worst Mistake you Ever Made" with the note "Ha Ha". I was furious and not satisfied with merely complaining to Ebay. I had paid by check and consequently had the fellow's mailing address. You know those annoying subscription insert cards in magazines that fall out? I went to my local newstand and got about 50 of them from different publications. My Canadian friend now subscribes (for 2 years, bill me later) to Modern Bride, Jet, Snowboarding, Hustler, Archetectural Digest, etc. The only problems I have ever had with Amazon have been promptly handled. I probably buy 50 to 100 cd's from the site per year.

One and a half a week; I do the same. I can play the one on my regular CD player but have to get the half track dac out for the .5 one. This is dedicated to my one time neighbors kid who ask me how I was doing squirrel hunting. I told him I was averaging about three and a half a hunt. He gave me a puzzled look and said "How do you shoot half a squirrel?" Pardon me, I have to go feed my pet sheepasauris.

Never a problem with amazon. Nor with amazon marketplace vendors really either, though certainly there is greater risk there depending on specific vendor I would expect.

It's the third party  who sometimes never ever take the cd out of the case and they say new.When they have no idea because the case looks good and the lable side looks good. BUYER beware .I have had some bad cds.I buy alot of cds.
