How annoying

You know, ISBN numbers have a purpose.  If you sell used books on the internet, you might want to pay a little more attention to them when listing at Amazon.  When a person orders a like-new hardback Bloomsbury edition they just don't want a beat up, used Scolastic edition that once went through a library system

Okay, here's my thought on used books:
Don't buy them!

At least not over the internet and NEVER without a picture! These things can only go wrong. I, too, have had my share of mishaps when ordering used books at (for example) Amazon's marketplace and have given up entirely. Especially after Amazon wasn't any help at all when I had troubles with used goods sellers.

I'm truly sorry, I know how you must feel!

Well, I've had *awesome* luck up to this point... Many of the things I'm looking for are very hard to find/obscure and the internet has been a miracle in finding them. But this is the first time I've tried to order a bunch of things that I guess are viewed as popular reading (as opposed to collectible) and the sellers were just foolishly sloppy

Well, I hope the next order will be in perfect order! Hihi, the 'order' will be in 'order'.

I've never heard of Alibris.com, but especially marketplace.com is a very fishy thing in my experience.
