Posts like these make you wary of buying a new one. At this point I see this so regularly though that I don't know if the usage is even wrong given how many people use it
A lot of people use it wrong. Wary would be acceptable. Leery would be acceptable as well. Both mean cautious or suspicious. Weary equates to tired and doesn't fit the context.
It's still wrong... Don't let the "language evolves" people convince you otherwise.
