Bootlegs.

The HK VCD releases cost more than those.

If the deal looks too good to be true, it's a bootleg.

Fox Home Entertainment sells each season of the X-Files for close to $100. Do you really think they're going to license it out to some foreign vendor to sell the entire 9 season run for that much?

Anything on eBay that says "Asian Collector's Edition" and is listed as region-free is by definition a bootleg.

Best Buy current has all 9 (legit) seasons for $50 each. Plus (look in the DVD Bargains section), you can get $10 off every $100 you spend.

I'm not going to pretend that ~$400 is not a lot of money, but it's a pretty good deal. I'd certainly rather do that than pay less for a cheap bootleg.
