I don't know about you folks, but I've received so many "new" items from Amazon that were clearly used that I have largely stopped shopping there for expensive items. I think it's still fine for small gifts, plastic utensils, etc. But anything over 100 bucks I try to buy directly off the manufacturer's website.

I think Amazon needs to get a handle on their sellers and reviews ASAP because I am rapidly losing faith in the store.

Same here. I wonder if Amazon employees stopped eating their own dog food, and would be interesting to be a fly on the wall for how they are trying to solve this problem.

I fear that they’ve done the math and decided that they make more money this way than a quality way.

same I bought a cpu from Amazon 700$ and sold by AMD

they shipped me a used one where the paste was already partially applied on the socket.

it works but still payed full price for a "new" item when it was a returned item.

it's just scummy all around
