Is this store selling Pirate stuff?

I found this site the other day www.buyvcd.com and they seem to have some excellent stuff but I am really worried that it is not legit? (I looked on d8a and it is not listed there - the guy who runs that site says most of the titles I saw have not been released on VCD so it must be pirate!)

I don't know I still think it's tempting what do you rekon? Will customs really sieze them if they are pirated?

Even if these VCDs are legitimate (which I highly doubt), this
is still a dishonest business. Look in the DVD section and tell
me that they aren't pirates.

Sheesh.

Their selection and prices aren't even good enough to consider a purchase even if this were a legitimate store........

You can find better prices and no doubt more legit service from other etailers........

Since they're selling movies that are still in the theater, do you really need to ask if they're legit or not? And, their prices are awful. I feel sorry for any idiot that buys $22 bootlegs of movies that sell for $19.99 and under. I take that back, I might feel sorry for them, but it would come after I laughed at them for awhile.

If they're selling Pirate stuff, do you save on the eyepatch when buying an earring with it?

He's not dead, he's resting. All tired out after a long squak.

Unfortunately, no. But if you've got a wooden leg everything's 25% off!

I purchased a cutlass from them and it was total garbage. I was taking this spanish merchent vessel with my crew, and it broke in half after a few kills. Totally just snapped in half. The crew of the ship I was boarding laughed at me. Talk about embarassing. I had to use my knife for the rest of the operation. However, I also bought an eyepatch from them and it's the most comfy eyepatch I've ever had. I think buying clothing from them is ok (eye patches, puffy shirts etc.) but any more expensive product (such as birds and weapons) should probably be bought elsewhere.

I couldn't find the parrot, nor the wooden leg.
