Back to an actual gaming item...
Gr.
So, I have the second and third printings of Prima's Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess guide in hardcover. I wanted the first edition, and after looking around, I found all kinds of contradicting and confusing information on it. Thus, I contacted Prima directly for whatever information they could give me regarding the first printing to help me locate a copy. Their e-mail included the ISBN and additional information for identifying a first edition.
Looking around, I decided to buy a copy from a seller on Alibris.
http://www.alibris.com/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Twilight-Princess-Stephen-Stratton/book/9968240?matches=11The first seller, which still has the item listed, had a good price, so I placed an order, from this page, clicking the "Add to Cart" button.
On the 3rd, I received an email that the item had shipped.
Two days ago, still having not received the item, I contacted the seller to find out where the item was.
The seller explained that the copy he had was damaged, so he had to re-order it, but for the inconvenience, he was going to upgrade the shipping and throw in a "golden" bookmark.
Red Flag. The "Golden" bookmark, I presume, is the one that comes with the big box set. That I already own. So, I asked to verify that he was shipping the 2006 edition.
He's not. He's shipping the 2013 edition (i.e.: a copy stripped from the box set). And, apparently, if you click to the left of the "Add to Cart" button, it will expand with information from the seller - and even though the ISBN is listed for the 2006 edition, his individual description states that it's the 2013 edition (oddly, it also states that it is factory sealed, and the individual copies inside of the box set are not sealed). He's refusing a refund, even though he doesn't even have an item to ship me.
Good times.
