More than half of the vhs sellers on Ebay are selling bootlegs - otherwise known as pirated or copies. They buy a brand new sealed movie at top price and then they make copies and resell them as used either stating in a rental box, or showbox, or hardcase orclamshell-Most movies that come in clamshells and are not stated as rentals are bootleg and not only illegal, but against ebay policy- this is not to be confused with legitimate studio released videos that do come in clamshells ie: Disney and a lot of other Children's videos- always ask if it's instudio issued packaging, as opposed to...Color copy artwork inserted is another hint- If it's a studio original, where's the original box?Look for expensive/rare movies shown at an unbelievably low prices- if it's too good to be true it probably is.Also look at quantities- 20 copies listed in clamshells is a good indicator- if the moviesare rare, how did this seller get so many and why are they not in their original cardboard sleeve?No box at all is suspiciousYou need to email these sellers w/questions before you bid, for your own good- no reply? they are avoiding you!! Don't be a victim of these bootleggers- it cost themno more than$2 to make the movie, when the honest sellers pay top dollar for quality collectible merchandisefollow up 6/26/06Firstly, I want to thank everyone who has emailed me on this subject, and now I think it's time to reveal the names of the worst offenders. UNFORTUNATELY THE NAMES HAD TO BE REMOVED - so video buyers only, (not dvd) - please feel free to email me should you doubt the authenticity of a rare out of print video or seller of videos.It is time everyone stops getting ripped of and PLEASEstop supporting these bootleggers who are illegally selling their homemade videos as if they were studio released. SELLERS NOTE: I highly suggest you place all bootleggers on your blocked bidder list, so that they cannot use/purchase your brand new or mint video, to run copies- do not contribute to their illegal activities!follow up 7/6As I can no longer list the user names of bootleggers, I have decided to provide you with a list of the mostfrequently pirated movies, NONE of these are legally on DVD, unless otherwise stated, I am hoping you will do a search on these titles, thus recognizing the same user names over and over, week after week, check their misspelled words, their verbiage etc.,and in that way become familiar with these bootleggers: Most of them are usually $9.99 or lower on rare, hard to find, out of print videos, and usually have a close buy it now offer. I will be updating this list a couple of days per week.A New Leaf vhsSomething for Joey vhsFull Body Massage vhsThe Promise vhsOn Borrowed Time vhsSmoky Mountain Christmas vhsThe Secret of Santa Vittoria vhsMy Brilliant Career vhsSummer Of My German Soldier vhsIt Happened at the Worlds Fair vhsThe Enchanted CottagevhsYellowbeard vhsEddie Murphy- Delirious vhsA Summer Place vhsHell to Eternity vhsRome Adventure vhsChina Beach Pilot vhsHoneysuckle Rose vhsFull of Life vhsResurrection Ellen Burstyn vhsBoys in the Band vhsReincarnation of Peter Proud vhsApril Fools vhsLove Among the ruinsMidnight LaceOde to Billie Joe vhsCold turkey vhsThe Gathering vhsGolddiggers of 1935 vhsA Gathering of Eagles never on DVDScavenger Hunt vhsMy Foolish Heart vhsBack Street vhsCome Back to the 5
