Thanks again everybody. I've learned a lot from your posts on what to look for and what to avoid (I hope!)

One last question. Can you steer me to a reputable company that I can have confidence in and not get ripped off. I would rather pay a higher price for a good quality DVD then a crappy version that I saved a few bucks on.

Thanks again everybody.

Here's a specific steering -- in browsing DDD, I notice that there's a 6-DVD Lone Wolf and Cub set (R1) set to be released in November. Right now its listed for $111 and change. I suspect its just the individual movies packaged together, but its still a bit of a savings over the individual DVDs. Poker Industries currently has a 2 DVD set of Shogun Assassin for $16. So that's what it'll run you to buy this legit vs bootleg: $130 vs $80.

It's usually not a problem. I have been burned on the seller listing one edition when what they are selling is something much less desirable, though. I check to make sure it's widescreen R1, and if it's something specific such as a superbit or some uber edition I contact the seller before I bid to verify that the auction listing is indeed what they are selling.
