How to Spot a Bootleg

Does this sound strange to anyone else? I found Giant Robo DVDs on ebay that are supposedly imported but they're region 1 and have it in both english and japanese with the choice of english or chinese subtitles. The guy had like a 99.6% positive feedback rating out of 9000+ people but that just doesn't seem right to me...

Yeah, it's bootleg. For one, there's a suspicious logo in the lower-right corner. For another, the other DVDs this seller has up are all bootlegs, and very obviously so.

I really wished I'd noticed this thread earlier...

That is what causes doubt on ebay the first time I checked on it and you see people selling bootlegs but have high feedbacks. But that is not taking into account that people actually want to buy them.

yea its a bootleg. the seller prolly has high feed back becouse maybe his bootlegs are highquality and he prolly always ships ontime and stuff.

Um.... No. "All region/Region free" says it all.
