Bootleg Counterfeit DVD Box Sets
Hello, I'm new to this site....
Has any else had problems with Bootleg DVDs purchased from ebay. I collect TV shows. & 95% of the time when I purchase a DVD box set on e-bay is a fake with single layer DVDs. I'm done buying these from e-bay.
I'm now looking into buying a "Dukes of Hazzard" set and decided to check e-bay pricing since this whole thing with the rebel flag started. I've noticed a Dukes set that never existed before in a elaborated box with the rebel flag right on top. After much back & forth messaging with a seller of one of these new box sets. I obtained the UPC barcode 883929473595 from the set and actual pics. Seller states it's a NORTH AMERICAN release.The barcode is non-existent anywhere online. Any thoughts?
The one thing I find funny is the set actually states on the box itself "dual layer" format Region-1? So are the counterfeiters getting wise?
Check out e-bay item #:321809367633

Re: Bootleg Counterfeit DVD Box Sets
Welcome to the Forum Slagger!
Many of us at DVDTalk have encountered bootleg DVDs / DVD Boxsets over the course of many years.
There are many helpful archived threads that the SEARCH feature above can lead you to.
Here are a few that may help you:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/store-forum...at-do-now.html
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/59...-bootlegs.html
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk-ar...comes-out.html
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/48...s-illegal.html
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/store-forum...tleg-ebay.html
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/59...-dvd-sets.html
As DVDTalk forum members, we are not allowed to discuss bootlegs except in very general terms.
I pulled up those threads by using the search terms "bootlegs dvds".
There are still many more threads out there than can provide useful information on not being taken with non-genuine DVDs.
Hope this info helps.
If a legit box set or title cannot be located at DVDPricesearch, then generally it is a boot.

Re: Bootleg Counterfeit DVD Box Sets
Slagger, a complete series set does exist but the casing does not match the one shown by that vendor.

To be perfectly honest, if something on eBay seems even a little bit dodgy, it's probably best to avoid it if you're concerned about bootlegs.

edit: Probably not. Probably 100 percent fake.

Maybe I should buy what's there and sell them on e-Bay when they eventually ban the show.

Re: Bootleg Counterfeit DVD Box Sets
If Time-Warner suspends the sale of The Dukes of Hazzard the only benefactors will be those who will sell bootlegs of this series. Over the past few years I've acquired the entire series of Amos and Andy, the Movie Song of the South, the so-called "Censored 11" Looney Tunes Cartoons and Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips among others from various sources. I don't know what's more criminal. those who make these "forbidden" shows available for those who want to see them or the studios who cave in and refuse to release these shows in a legitimate manner because they fear doing so might upset certain minorities. Two wrongs may not make a right, but where there's a will there's a way. As a manner of fact, making certain shows unavailable because they aren't "Correct" only creates a stronger resolve to see them, if only to see "what's causing all the fuss".
