Seems unlikey to be real. I noticed that the three cases aren't of the same make.

[Alls Wills]

Yeah, they're bootleg; the underside of the discs are black, the printing is low quality, and they had some other minor problems. I bought a set and already returned it.

[Naiera]

I didn't go through the video; if the undersides are black then obviously we have a problem.

I have a hard time believing the legality of his other auctions as well.

Yeah, I've been on the fence on that one for a long time - it sounds like it might be pretty good, but I've heard no one talk about it at all. Same with Tears for Tiara, would that be something like Claymore, or Guin Saga, perhaps?

Still waiting for Fate/stay night Part 2 to go on sale, got part one for $11 at Frys a few months ago... so I may get UBW awhile, but I don't know anything about that one either...

[Naiera]

I say definitely get Heaven's Memo Pad.

I'll ask my slave in Delaware to get Penguindrum and maybe Fate/Stay for me.

[Tellymon]

Bought Heaven's Memo Pad as well, thank you much for the head's up

OK, I got Heaven's Memo Pad, better be good, buddy! Blind Buy.

I'm not sure what the story on Tears to Tiarra Blu-ray is, but Rightstuf's price for it is $68, eBay it's $57+, and Amazon is $50, with only 3 left in stock... So for $25, which is the lowest price it's been since the Holiday sales at the same price, I'm snagging a copy, whether I like it or not. It's a fantasy title, I like fantasy a lot, just hope it's not too cutesy - more like Guin Saga, Moribito, or Twelve Kingdoms, hopefully. Evidently no one's seen it because I can't get any comments from anyone about it on any forum...

Also went ahead and picked up F/SN UBW, just waiting on a low price for Part 2 yet.

I'm leaning towards making my slave pick this up as well.

Will your slave come to my house and do my laundry for me as well, per chance? Delaware is not very far from here...

[Naiera]

He was in PA a month or two ago

I was soo close to clicking buy it now when I saw those, thank god some people pointed it out in the feedback. For some reason this seller has had no negative feedback nor has the listing been pulled even though the neutral feedback says that he sell bootlegs.

I was the one who left the neutral feedback. I don't know all the details behind him selling these, so despite what I may think about the seller, I couldn't in good conscience leave negative feedback; I decided neutral feedback with a clear bootleg warning for potential buyers was the best alternative.

I'm very surprised however by the amount of positive feedback, and that the listing hasn't been pulled.
