40% or so of the items sold on Amazon are 3rd party sales, where the seller could potentially be re-selling returns as new items.

True.

I've learnt from experience to be very wary of 3rd party sales on Amazon. So much cheap crap. Never understood why Amazon cheapen their site with much of it!

It's ruined the quality of the Amazon brand to me. I used to buy a lot more on Amazon than I do now. There's so much junk on there, a lot of it of such poor quality that it should never be sold at all, and then there's also a lot of counterfeits. God help you if you ever want to buy, say, a replacement phone or laptop battery, or charger.
