I've had pretty good results buying inexpensive old CD releases from non-prime third party sellers on Amazon. No scams (so far - knock on wood), items were as described.

The key word here is "inexpensive". You're not going to get cheated for a few bucks, the risk/profit ratio just isn't worth it.

Counter-anecdote from ~20 third-party used CD purchases—I've had to dispute counterfeit, falsely advertised condition, and wrong items.
