AbeBooks used to be a decent resource for used books. Now it seems to be a resource for fraudulent sellers to take advantage of customers. AbeBooks does not allow customer reviews, so many of the booksellers send books that are nowhere near the quality described, and the buyer is left with no recourse and no ability to downrate fraudulent sellers. My latest purchase was listed by the seller in "very good" condition with no serious flaws, yet when I got the book it had a damp musty smell and was heavily foxed throughout. Buyer beware.
I prefer not to receive multiple spam emails in the space of a few short weeks asking me over and over again to review my experience. If I wanted to leave a review, I would do so in good time, when I'm sure my plants are thriving. And I reserve the right NOT to give a review, and I prefer not to be badgered into doing so. And this is the type of review I leave if I feel forced into it.
Because I foolishly thought I could buy a plant and be left alone to enjoy it.
Because they looked good and I wanted them, and I didn't expect to be hounded afterwards.
Hack journalism par excellence, and the comments section is policed by people who ban commenters at the drop of a hat.
