a) Yes it would be illegal and b) There are plenty of reports of exactly that happening in the clubs subforum -- it's rare but it definitely happens which is what he meant by "a small percentage."

You don't know what you're talking about. Here's a small sample of the dozens of threads in the Clubs subforum on this topic.
Are you guys sick of getting re-wrapped DVD's from CH ??
Repackaged DVDs? Missing Inserts!
I know CH uses used dvds but this is crap.
where did these repacks come from?
CH shrink wrapping opened DVDs?
Worst re-wrapped DVD experience!!

I will agree with you that it doesn't have anything to do with DVD bargains, but it is responsive to the question asked regarding if the DVDs were the same as in stores. With that though, I think the topic is exhausted.

5. Are Columbia House's DVDs as good as the ones from a store?
Yes. Our DVDs are manufactured the same way as those you'd buy in a store. They come to you factory-sealed [snip]
Or, CH is run by liars... Of all the alleged cases of someone getting a used DVD from CH has *one* of those "victims" complained to the FTC or BBB?

Since (1) you didn't answer my question, (2) this has absoluetly nothing to do with bargains, and (3) I don't think this constitutes a crime on CH's part, I'm done responding to you here. If you think there's any point in continuing this discussion you can send me a PM, or post in an appropriate thread in the clubs subforum. Like I said before, once you've had a little more experience with CH you'll probably see it differently.

CH DVDs New or Used?
StanS,
What Yakuza Bengoshi says is true. About 1/3 of the DVDs that I have received from CH have been opened previously and were probably returns, being sold as new.
If you complain to CH, they will allow you to return the DVD. If you return too many DVDs, you will be banned from membership.
If you do not mind receiving a used DVD in relatively good condition, there is no problem. However, calling them NEW is debatable.
