‘NEW’ BOOKS FROM THIRD-PARTY SELLERS
If you buy a book directly from Amazon, you can be reasonably assured that it’s actually new. But if you buy that same “new” book from a third-party seller offering a suspiciously cheap price — perhaps cheaper than Amazon itself — you may actually be getting a used book passed off as new. Although you still get a readable book that may look just fine, it raises some icky ethical questions, as the book’s author and publisher likely won’t see any money from that sale.
