When I got Hansel and Gretel a few weeks ago I thought it might have just been a one-off and possibly a resealed disc but with it happening again with another recent 4K Paramount title from a different seller, I'm starting to think the issue lies with Paramount. If they were blu-rays or DVDs I would not be too concerned, but 4K discs are really sensitive and even the most minor scratch can mess up playback.

My Addams Family 4K which I purchased from homevideoclearance on eBay is scratch free, but it did have that crummy shrink wrap.

According to at least one person here on the forums, Paramount is doing some of their disc manufacturing in Germany? Maybe this is why we have a change in how things are being handled? (source)

My copy from Amazon was scratch free and also had the different shrink wrap. I've seen that type used before though on occasion.

I don't see what the big deal is though as it doesn't effect anything.

Just put 'ebay.ca/str/tchoopis' in your browser without the quotes. This site will not allow a proper link for some reason.

Anyone else wonder how eBay vendors can sell DVDs and such for $4.50 w/ free shipping?

eBay probably takes a $.75 commission and then it costs (for me anyway) another $3.35 to send a disc through Canada Post that weighs 101 grams or more. Add in a bubble mailer and the seller nets about 20 cents.

Is it just me or are some folks just not doing the math?

So, they must be buying a physical copy, removing the digital code (maybe to sell separately), and shrink wrapping it again. Some FB sellers seem to be doing this.

some use a razor and put a slit in the shrink wrap down the opening and use a pair of flat tweezers to go into the case and slide the code sheets out.

As I have posted before the rarewaves official site has Arrow boxsets from $34 to $42 CAD with a flat rate shipping ($6.50?):

You also get points with orders and If its your first order you can get additional 10% off.

Fair enough, but Six Gothic tales is $41.99 on RAREWAVES. Add the $6.99 shipping cost and you get $48.98 which is a little over a dollar more than buying it on Ebay. If you're going to buy multiple items your link is better, but it's also more expensive for the title I posted.

I'm pretty sure the 10% off is gone now and was replaced with the points program, but I could be wrong. You can let us know. There was talk about it in the UK section and how it's been dropped;

For Preacher? I suspect they would pick a more in demand title for that beside its almost the only BD the seller has.

Other Criterions from the seller look like they dropped in price as well but with $4 shipping making them a mediocre deal perhaps.
