Hey I was wondering if anyone has seen these guys before I found them at www.thediscountgarage.com and they have stuff pretty cheap, but then I wonder if it's one of those too good to be true deals. Anyone have an idea or think it's safe to order from them??

Screams "region free" to me. But I don't know...

i'd be very leary of them for a number of reasons, first of which their website is crap, second they list no contact info other than a phone #, their primary payment method is paypal...and their domain info is hidden, plus I can't really see how they can sell any of that stuff so cheap, most people are in business to make money, not lose..if they really wanted to get money they'd ebay...I'd stay far..far away..

They actually are on ebay that's where i saw them first then they said that the same deals can be found on their site and what also was strange is they had 100% feedback with 14 reviews. So I dunno it's a risk I guess.

can you tell me what their ebay user id is?

absoulutely it's sabrinadm2

I actually just emailed one of the buyers from him and he said it was original stuff and you really couldn't beat it and defintely reccomended him, this person is up to 15 positives now.

Man, keep us updated, because those prices are great.

I'm also really interested in ordering from the site, but really want some feedback first from someone who already did (not through e-bay). Please let us know if anyone does. Thanks!

I think I will order one disc and see what happens. The only weird thing I see is that the website says the 'company' is based in Maryland, and all the eBay auctions say the seller is in Brooklyn, NY.

I was actually thinking about the same thing. I called him and we spoke for a while. The online store is actually based out of Maryland, but he has family in Brooklyn, who ship out the merchandise to him. He goes to visit them every weekend. I actually own a store in Brooklyn, and he/his brother is going to deliver the movies next week by hand. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I was fooling around on their site, checking shipping charges by adding DVD's to the cart then going to checkout.

It appears that once you hit $50 the shipping and handling is free.

I too would like to know more about this site since the prices are excellent (if they are legit region 1's)

I emailed them asking several questions. Will post their answers.

You guys won't believe it I went ahead and bought from them on ebay I got the Wire season 1 for 50 dollars plus I think 5 bucks for shipping but I also got a free dvd (I chose Friday night Lights). So my shipment comes in today and I open it up and what do I find? It was TOTALLY LEGIT. They are Region one copies and still sealed they have a couple of thier stickers on the plastic wrap but they can be taken off easily and once you open them up they are gone. I will post the link to the ebay auction for all to see, incredible deal and would reccomend them. Just in case anyone is skeptical look at my feedback on there I am at 95 comments and 100% feedback so there you have it here is a link to the auction.

*ebay link removed -pilot* ..you've posted the ebay username above..people can search for it..

this almost seems like someone who's gonna rack up the feedback by offering stuff real cheap, get enough feedback, then have some sort of massive sale..get people to pay then disappear..but that's just my opinion...

I need a bit more information before dealing with them. As posted above I emailed them (through ebay) and mine bounced back saying their rmailbox was full.

Doesn't sound like good cs there. :(

Yea I think the email address linked with their ebay account is wrong, I remembered them emailing me about that, who knows I mean I got lucky here it's possible what the pilot said is true but I will defintely be pleased with this deal. I think you have to use the one on their website maybe.

Zidane, did you get Deadwood yet? You ordered from the site and NOT E-bay correct?

I posted a few weeks ago that he was coming to my store this past Tuesday to deleiver the movies, and guess what? He never came... We spoke numorous times, but the Saturday before it was still on. He was supposed to call me back with a few prices but he never did. We called again Saturday night, and left a message. We called 2x on Tuesday and again no answer so 2 new messages. Today on Wednesday we called again and left a not too happy message. Still no replies. I'd be uneasy ordering online from this place. Thats why I want to see if Zidane received orders placed on the site.

hmmm...... i dunno man.... im kind of worried i got ripped, but my question is... i must have emailed him like 10 times and each time he has responded pretty quick, if he did rip me why would he even bother replying to my emails?

to keep your hopes up? spread out the time he can keep your money before he runs away and you complain to paypal? (or he's somehow really telling the truth..)

Do not allow your credit card to carry the charge if he is not shipping the item. Years ago I fell for one of those persons who looked very honest.

(He sent something appearing it could have been damaged in shipping so a claim was filed. Two months later UPS rejected it as being the fault of the shipper.)

By the time I woke up my credit card company would not reverse the charge.

Personally, I'll give him the benefit of doubt until I see if he comes through for you.

I ordered Raise Your Voice on Feb 20 and was waiting, waiting.

Thursday I received an email to please call the 1-800 # to discuss my order.

I called this afternoon, and he asked me to please call back in five minutes, he was going to open his office.

By just giving my name, he already knew what I ordered.

I called back, and he said that he had underestimated demand for that title, and now had several in stock, and was also offering a free item.

I picked one and he said it would be sent this afternoon.

I will keep you posted.

EDIT: Odd. I sent him an email thanking him for keeping me up to date on my order and making good on it, and received an auto email saying I would get a response or call soon.

I came here to post this message, went back to my inbox, and there is a delivery notification failure message there, saying the inbox is over quota.

Strange.

I used to email a friend at his job, and I would always get back an email automatically saying there was some sort of error, then a minute or two later, an email from my friend with the message I had just sent quoted, so I knew he received it.

that's such bs.. it seems that everyone who orders from his site is getting the "sorry but we are out of stock we will send you a free dvd" ..

Reading this information, either this is the world's worst merchant or somethings up. Just a caution. If you can check your credit card charges online, do so.

See if this person has made a charge as well as check for other unathorized ones.

Just wanting you to be covered.

Everything on this site is paid by Paypal. No weird charges for me.

Just got an email about a half an hour ago.

He told me on the phone if there was anything on the site that I was interested in, let him know and he would drop prices on them.

He sent a link (no you can't have it) to a page where he set up a personalized page that drops prices an additional two dollars.

I told him I'd wait until the first package arrives but at $10.50 that's a great deal.

I called him like 2:30 pm pacific, he said he still had 30 minutes to mail it so it would get out by the weekend.

Will keep you posted.

He sounded as if he was a big guy, possibly African American. Deep voice, and I had to really concentrate to understand everything.

However, he was really, really nice, and did not try to rush me into anything.

He listed several DVD's, and audiobooks on CD I could get for free, and one PS2 game.

When I asked about a couple of others, he said those were not in stock at this time. Except for one he said he was holding for someone sending in a payment, and he could give it to me, and buy more of that title, as they were not due to pay until the 15th.

The link he sent about giving me a discount on other purchases was time stamped just after 11 pm. I just got a few minutes ago another email with a delivery confirmation number, this was time stamped three hours earlier, and not generated from the USPS site.

After he sent me the page with the discounts, I emailed him back thanking him, and telling him I would wait on a second order for now, and again, I got an error message. Still, it looks as if the emails are getting through.

The headers show that the emails are rerouted through an address @sprintpcs.com

Again, will keep you posted.

Not sure if that's a plus for you. If exits stage right paypal is not your friend!


Uh, thanks for sharing?


Nigerian perhap?


If I was ripping you off I would be really really nice to you.


Then he would have a tracking number available by now.

at least he shipped em..hopefully you get more than a empty box ;)

Good luck - I'm not sure why he would not have time to send them Express Mail, it takes the same time just a lot more expensive.

I wouldn't mind finishing up my 24 Series at 33 a pop... but of course, I'll wait and hear what comes of your oders. Hope everything arrives for you guys and is totally legit.

so those are legit, new, shrink-wrapped copies???? i'm impressed. congrats!

Recieved my package today.

Legit Region 1 copies.

Mailed on 3-4-05 and recieved 3-8-05, Priority Mail.

Return address listed as Brooklyn, but postmarked Newark, DE? (that's also what the tracking link told me)

He told me he was in his 'office' when he was telling me what titles he was offering for the free disc. And that he would have it in the mail before the Post Office closed Friday. So his office is in Delaware, his business is based in Maryland, and packages go to New York????

Whatever works, but I do say these are the real thing.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that stuck to the back of the envelope was a sticker. "TV-D $79.99 DEADWOOD COMP SE 1 WS WHV 9DV 92430".

Odd that he sells that set for $50, and the sticker would say $79.99. Even DDD sells for more than $50, $69.89.

This Is Marlon From The Discount Garage. Im Just Responding To A Couple Of You Critics. I Cant Believe You Guys Sit Around All Day And Talk About Our Little Site,but Im Thankful For The Buzz. Anybody Who Has Ordered From Our Site Should Know We Are Legit. Im A Dvd Collector My Self And I Know How Hard It Is To Get A Bargain,so Thats Why I Started This Site.what Alot Of People In This Buisness Do Not Realize Is That When Selling Dvd's Or Video Game's You Have To Make The Customers Happy. I Believe In Trying To Bridge The Gap Between Seller And Buyer,so That's Why You Might Hear Someone Say He Was To Nice Or Wanted To Give A Free Dvd.whats Wrong With That? Some People Are Just Interested In Quick Money......(like Buy For A Dollar Sell For 4 Or 5}but Im Believe In Buy For A Dollar Try To Make A $1.50 And Get A Return Customer. On Alot Of Our Items We Only Make Fifty Cent Or A Dollar. But The Thing Is The Customer Comes Back. But Lets Get To The Other Wonders About The Site. We Use Paypal Because Of The Convenience Of The Transactions Thats All. Most Stores On Ebay Only Use Paypal. So Whats The Problem With That? AND TO THE THEORY THAT WE TRYING TO BUILD UP FEEDBACK ON EBAY LIKE SOME HUGE MASTER PLAN IS PREPOSTEROUS,WE HAVE NEVER ASK FOR FEEDBACK WE JUST RECEIVE IT.And With Us Not Listing Information On Our Domain Name... Its Called Privacy.and To The People That Say That The Ebay Name Has Brooklyn But The Site Says Maryland.....the Ebay Name Was Created In Brooklyn Newyork,but The Business Is Based In Elkton Maryland.very Few Of Our Shipments Take Weeks But Some Box Sets Are Heavily In Demand(especially At Those Prices) But We Do Apoligize For Some Late Shipments. In Closing You Guys Should Stop Worrying About If Im A Big Guy Or An African American,and Try To Add To Your Cd, Dvd Or Game Collections. Or Pay Top Price For The Items Some Where Else...........thanks. P.s ......I Did Not Know That Some Customers Were Reporters. And I Still Want You Guys As Customers But To Be Honest The Reports On This Site Make Up Less Than a quarter of 1% Of Our Orders.

That post is a true testament to professionalism. /sarcasmoff

Wow. Um. You completely misunderstood EVERYONE in this thread. They were just estatic that someone would be selling dvds for a price under a sale price of a normal online dvd retailer. Also, your site is related to Ebay (and we all know how trustworthy a lot of Ebayers are) so you should have expected questions about that particular topic. Hardly anyone on Ebay at this time sells legit copies of dvds for cheap without their being a catch. You always have to field queries about that - you shouldn't feel demeaned or upset about them and lash out.

I also believe that they were only describing how you sounded so that they could try and be on the same page. They wanted to find out if they were talking with the same person. Again, that was not trying to diminish your character.

This site is just a group of people that are trying to help each other out. We watch out for each other. We let others in on good deals, bad deals, and what to look out for.

And now that people on this site have found out that you sell legit copies, I am sure your business is just going to rise. If I were you, I wouldn't be mad at all if that happened.

Your Right (conscience) Thanks For Making Me Understand..............i Saw The Site And These Comments After One Of Those Days...............(that I Still Seem To Be Having). I Hope Everybody Keeps Leaving Comments, It Will Make Our Site Get Better At Dealing With The Customers. Thanks Again

Anybody else have a positive experience shopping at this site? I was going to place an order here soon and I was hoping for some more feedback. :)

Buy 2 get one free and free shipping over 50 bucks?...too bad payapl only..

I would be tempted to try to get Spanglish, Ocean's 12, and Meet the Fockers for $25 brand new and sealed.

The Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12 2 pack for 17.00 is what really tempted me. I can't find 3 preorders that I would want in the next few weeks so the other deal didn't do much for me at this time.

To the site owner; when I am interested in a title you don't list on your site, do you order it from your supplier and then ship it to me, or do you have a huge inventory that you just don't list on the site?
