Hella Cheap Anime DVDs!

Postby the Black Monarch » Wed Jan 15, 2003 1:39 am

I got the Nadesico box set for $43.00 and what looks like four whole seasons of Inu Yasha for the same price each, plus the movies for both for $17.00 each! Plus some cheap Transformers T-shirts!

And I'm not telling anyone where :twisted: :twisted:

[trebek] Oh no, sorry... [/trebek]

Sounds like you got hosed with cheap bootlegs.

Now, you wanna talk about cheap--and legit cheap--I got the Evangelion box set for $72 at Ohayocon, plus 4 hours worth of Crusher Joe (the movie and 2 OVAs, 2 disc set) for $21.

ebay, where else. It will arrive soon and then the fun will begin. The guy speaks really bad english so I'm pretty sure that I'm getting all 5 parts, I'll only lose $16 anyway.

Now, is this a legit release or more HK bootlegs? I am very wary of eBay DVDs unless I can be assured that what's being sold is a true US release. R2 DVDs are outside my realm currently, so I don't consider those in my searches.

I took a gander at the Inuyasha DVDs up for auction on eBay, and without fail all the ones I looked at were HK bootleg sets.

I didn't see a single legit DVD there. If anyone did, please point me to it.

If it says "region-free" and has Chinese subtitles, it's more than likely a bootleg. You get what you pay for. :evil:

Oh shit, you mean I ordered bootlegs? God fucking dammit! Why does this kind of shit always happen to me?

Is there a way to report that website to authorities who give a damn? I don't think 911 is the right number for something like this.

you shouldn't care since you don't like anime anyway.

It's also probably the only one there, amongst all the bootleg sets, seeing as how it got glomped by its new owner with the "buy it now" option.

I swear, there must be a 10 to 1 ratio for these things; Escaflowne bootleg sets go for $30-$45 while legit sets are going for $160 (although I got vol.1 tonight for $10.50). And you're completely out of luck at this point in time for legit Gundam 08th MS Team DVDs on eBay.

Do your homework, watch your pursestrings.

Well yeah, but that won't stop me from liking an anime show. I don't like black and white movies either, but I love Young Frankenstein and Schindler's List. Do you see what I'm trying to get at?

Anyway, it was the only site I could find that had four box sets of Inu Yasha AND the box set of Nadesico, and the prices were SOO good! Actually, when I think about it that way, I probably would have ordered those sets even if I'd known they were bootlegs. What about the Transformer t-shirts? Were those counterfeit too?
