If you are interested in buying cd type discs online especially if they are used, be sure to ask about the condition, as it is very important. Even a light scratch can mean you are buying a dud that will not be useful or any enjoyment to you as your player can reject it. This does not mean all scratches on a cd type disc are devestating but they can be...

Always ask if there is any scratches if it is not noted in the description and if there is a warranty of any type included in case you get defective merchandise. This can be a deal breaker for most people.

Even some sellers who state their "merchandise" is brand new and sealed, BEWARE you could still be getting used merchandise as many stores re-package and do their own shrink wrapping, even people at home can shrink wrap items very easily !!!!!!! So find out where the items you want are coming from, where do the sellers get it from? are they defective returns from stores other customers were unhappy with? where were they stored? (as heat, cold, sun, etc can destroy these items) and ALWAYS Check on the return / refund policy in case you do get defective products as you can't inspect them before you buy.

These simple suggestions can apply to a lot of products to check out before you buy and could save you a lot of money, time & headaches.
