Hi people,
Just looking for confirmation that I'm right but I've recently bought a region 1 dvd boxset from Ebay and its arrived damage. On closer inspection theres a few other things that are standing out that this is a good quality counterfeit boxset.
1) The print internal is slightly blurry
2) The "proof of purchase" tab that comes on region 1 dvds is actually printed onto the box and isn't a tab
3) None of the disc actually have barcodes and just the name of the boxset (ie no identifier codes/numbers etc)
4) The UPC barcode appears to have slightly different tones of black
5) The entire outer cardbord is shiny
6) The actual box is 2x pieces of cardboard stuck together, not printed on both sides.
For reference its a fairly recent ABC release
The seller has turned into an arse and is saying that he's sold hundreds and noones ever complained, refusing a refund/return etc so it looks like paypal dispute is the way forward, and mainly because one of the discs is cracked anyway! The seller then didn't address any of my above points and just stated that the UPC barcode is the same as anywhere else therefore it's genuine blah blah.
So am I right that this appears to be a good quality counterfeit?? The seller has A LOT of positive feedback for region 1 boxsets but I'm positive i'm right.....reassure me people!
