Certainly. My two annoying experiences from college where buying the used text book for Biology which was a 2nd edition and about 5 years old for probably $80. Then a couple of years later I was in Calculus I and the syllabus listed Thomas' Calculus (12th Edition) as the book. It was brand new just released so no used copies. Bookstore had it for $220 and the 11th edition for much cheaper. I took the risk and bought the 11th edition. I mean after 11 editions how different could the 12th edition be?? On the first day of class noticed the person next to me has the 12th edition, I asked to see it to compare and to my horror it was completely different. Not wanting to get behind in class, I quickly found it on amazon for $140 and I had just got the student version of Prime for like $25 per year so got free 2 day shipping. Ultimately, never used the book for the calculus class. Teacher either gave us a printout of homework problems or wrote the problems on the board for us to copy. Auctioned it on Ebay after the class. The seller then filed a claim against me:

"Hello, I received this book today and it is definitely not in "like new" condition; the eBay condition definition for "like new" states that the "cover has no visible wear", but this textbook's cover is very worn on both front and back. The cover corners are bent inward, there are scuffs on the upper edges like it had been dragged upside down, and there's even a tear on the bottom of the back cover! It's incomprehensible how you could list this book as "like new," according to eBay's definitions, this book is closer to "Very Good", or even "Good" condition."

Note the "damage" they speak of came from amazon shipping it to me and it sliding around in the box. I responded:

"Sorry for the misrepresentation of the book. $71 is a very good price for the book. I was hoping to get above $110 for it. Because of the great deal you have gotten, I hesitate to offer a partial refund for the book. Will a partial refund be necessary? Otherwise, I will be more careful next time."

Lame.

The point about the biology book though, I just find it ironic that biology is always changing, but the Biology book was old and never updated while a math book seems to get re-written in a different permutation every two years.
