Those are not used, they're 'new' counterfeit copies.
I know because I've been buying them to check. Now
I've got nearly a dozen of them. Sheesh!! There
are four different counterfeit "printings", each
with different massive flaws, horrible binding, bad
printing, etc. The first three are printed in India;
the latest one from Malaysia, is quite different and
is really bad. The sellers label them used, damaged,
etc., to deflect buyer complaints about the quality.
But, hey, when you get a book with the pages stuck
together, you know it hasn't ever been opened.
These sellers are doubly-illegal, because they claim
to be honest high-quality Cambridge University Press
printed books.
BTW, the counterfeits are all 1st printing copies.
As was the case for 20 years with the 2nd edition,
there are very few true used copies of AoE offered
for sale. In my purchases of dozens of under $70
books, I didn't get any actual used copies. I did
get a few cheap honest copies, two marked down due
to handling damage (box-cutter gouge, poor Amazon
shipping, etc., and a two sellers importing them
from England, getting savings from Brexit exchange
rate and a lower CUP wholesale price in England.
All four Amazon Prime 'other' sellers were honest,
but two were selling 1st and 3rd printings.
