I purchased a textbook from AbeBooks seller "Save With Sam" listed as "Brand new!" on 07/29/2023 for $338. It arrived yesterday 08/22/2023 and it was anything but brand new. It has highlighter and pen marks all over it, the cover is damaged, and pages are bent. Used copies of this book go for less than half of what I paid, and if I had wanted a book in the condition I received it in, I would have paid less than $150. However, I always pay extra for new books because I have a learning disability and have immense trouble reading books with another student's markings in it. I also cannot return the book, because the class that I need it for has already started, and I don't have enough money to purchase a new book without the refund from this purchase. Additionally, I feel strongly that I should not have to pay additional money to return the book when this situation is due to the intentional misrepresentation of the product by the seller, "Save With Sam". "Save With Sam" is operating a scam by representing their books as significantly higher quality than they actually are, in hopes that customers don't bother with returning or complaining.
