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.

You people are dinosaurs, modern audiophiles only buy LPs and have the digital on computers. I haven't bought a single cd for five or six years.

Shouldn't this be entitled "....on Amazon MARKETPLACE"? The title rather infers that Amazon themselves are selling used items as "new".

I have not encountered this as yet but would not be at all surprised. Don't forget that not all new CDs are sold in plastic wrappers, certainly not in the UK. Also, a customer can nowadays apply a plastic wrapper that appears to be factory fitted, so it's presence does not necessarily mean that the item is new.

If I did receiver an item that was not "as advertised" I would immediately contact Amazon. Their returns policy and my experience thereof is second to none.

I have never had this happen. I have had new cd's shipped instead of the used ones I have ordered. I probably buy 5-8 cd's per month and I have never seen this. I'd leave bad feedback. What a pain.

Also for the shipping charges it could be a nightmare at 27$ to ship 4 Cd'S into Canada. Get in touch with them and they blamed the seller and the seller blamed AMAZON. You better having and agreement with the shipping cost before ordering !!!!!
