Anyone else receive what appear to be used DVD's from buy.com? I just received "Limbo", "The Cement Garden" and "Pups" yesterday and I swear they look like something I would get from half.com. The discs have fingerprints on them and "Pups" doesn't even have an insert with chapter stops etc. They were all shrink-wrapped but none of them had the security sticker at the top of the case. Anybody know anything about this?

I have always received new merchandise from Buy.com and I am sure they do not make it a practice of theirs to ship used merchandise!!! One thing which may have happened is your disc could have been checked for damage for some!!!

I've received two items that had the used-look and requested an exchange immediately. I think they may have a naughty employee in their packing department.

It's possible that someone bought a DVD, opened it, viewed the movie, strink-packaged it back up, and returned it to buy.com and claimed it had never been opened. Small possibility.

the "No insert card" doesn't mean anything...lots of the cheap companies don't put them in all the time, "Sorority House Massacre 2" doesn't have one, "Big City Blues" (a lousy Burt Reynolds flick) didn't have one, all the Blockbuster only releases ("Primary Suspect" w/ William Baldwin, "Paranoid", etc.) don't have them...I don't know about fingerprints, but I'd bet your "Pups" was new...
