I've had the worst luck buying DVD's off Half.com They've all be advertised at "Brand New Region 1" and almost everyone one of them have been bootlegs/copies. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Hmm... do you always go through the sellers' feedback? Certain types of comments (sometimes even on positive ratings) can be a red flag... looking at the score alone isn't enough.

I always look at least a few pages of comments to see if there's anything unusual... ANYTHING that says "not as described", etc. is an immediate red flag. Also, anytime someone leaves a negative rating or complaint that doesn't have a response from the seller is another warning signal. Also, ANYTIME I see insulting or unprofessional remarks from the seller in response to feedback, I immediately move on to the next listing.

Finally, if the price is way too low for no good reason, big red flag.

Just a few tips from my perusals of the site.

Also avoid sellers from Asia.

And leave a negative feedback for him. If he reponds with a negative for you, just reply to it with something along the lines of "retaliatory feedback from a seller of bootlegs, has been reported to half.com".

The title in question was "Starter for 10". I can't find it anywhere for less than $19.99 retail so I turned to Half.com I believe I paid $12.99 plus $2.50 for shipping. The cellophane was not the same as the one's in the store. Red flag one. The plastic cover had marks all over it one I removed the cellophane. Red flag two. The art work on the DVD has streaks where the colors is missing. Um, yeah. Final red flag. I contacted the seller and told him I was giving he/she the benefit of the doubt. I know most of these people get these DVDs from distributors. He responded right away and offered me a refund. I said yes, and thank you. I'm so tired of these crooks.
