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.
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.
