Createspace operates purely on print-on-demand and this has not changed since they launched. They are never supposed to sell used copies of a book, especially one that is years old as brand new, as it is a violation of contract. In this digital age, one of the new abilities an author has is to revise their book at whim, any day of the week, at any time. It is encouraged by Amazon to ensure authors can deliver any product they desire to the consumer. One might assume that once a book is published it can never ever be fixed or changed again, but that is simply not true anymore, as amazon has changed the playing field. No longer does an author have to suffer from not being able to improve their works...
Createspace has enabled me to sell thousands of copies of a Fox Tail and I have never had a complaint about the quality of the work so I can grateful to Amazon for providing the service. They have, however, recently sold a few used books instead of new ones to try to cut corners. Several authors have had to firmly call them and remind them that createspace is print on demand, not warehouse sales.
Despite what you may see on the createspace page for the book, A Fox Tail is available for print now. And createspace will never refuse and author the right to alter their book.
