Risk of buying used

[growler]

I just watched my used copy of Expendables, Extended Director's cut & Unfortunately, my copy of DC had 2 spots where it froze & then skipped ahead one @ 38:48 & skipped ~ 10 seconds & the other @ 39:02 & skipped 35 seconds!

I had purchased @ Second Spin 7-2014. I have over 100 purchased BDs waiting in my "To Watch" pile. So, my habit of testing all newly purchased BDs by making sure they load & start playing, failed to detect the defect. Disc looks undamaged & I'm sure that is the reason the previous user sold it to Second Spin. I'm sure the same could have happened with any merchant that sells used.

Previously, I had thought my risk was mainly getting a Rental only version, which I hate.

That will be my last used BD. I just don't have the time to watch the entire movie immediately if purchase any used discs, in case it is defective.
