posted on the discogs thread because i didn’t know this one existed— i have a lot of book adventures . it’s truly the only thing i spend money on other than food, shelter, and climbing stuff. bought a book at a decent price from a seller on Abe, didn’t do much research into them but they had a good rating.i got sent the wrong book, the sort of thing that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, totally useless. i messaged them, they said sorry for mixup, they would get the right book to me. then they said getting the right book to me was impossible, but would i like something else from their inventory because a return hurts their rating. i said no.asked my bookseller pal about it— it’s a regular scam. a seller will list a book they don’t have, then attempt to buy it from another seller for cheap and make a tiny bit of profit. the issue is that sometimes these “booksellers” don’t keep up with pricing trends, so (as in my case) the book I ordered was being offered for 10-40 less than from other sellers. so because they couldn’t find a cheap copy to sell me, they sent me some trash, say it’s a mistake, then try to get you to choose something else from their “inventory” to keep their rating. insane and maddening.
