Default Buyer Beware!!!!

Well the bootlegging has begun!! I gotta an email from a lady from Malaysia that is always trying to dump her 3.00 dvds on me, well now she has 5.00 blu-rays?? My bet is that these are DVD-9s with blu-ray packaging, and I replied to her and advised her of this. She replied that several people are already selling them without any issues on Amazon and Ebay, so........If you buy a BD and get a good deal, I would suggest putting that disc in you DVD player and if it plays................
I need not explain more.

I am guessing the Malaysian Market is saturated with this garbage and its easy to bootleg over there? Just beware as this needs nipped in the butt early

Yes, it's becoming more and more common because they can get rid of them on Ebay and such for 3-4x as much

They're absolutely DVD's in blu packaging
