Sounds more like a Dragon Dynasty sale... you mentioned "hurrah something" (Last Hurrah For Chivalry), which is actually a Golden Harvest film. And the SBs you mentioned are DDs. Not a bad thing, just an observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Kennedy Il Sung Posted January 23, 2010 Member Share Posted January 23, 2010 This isn't really a sale, it's just third party sellers selling it for cheap on Amazon, Amazon is still selling those for $14-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the SBs you mentioned are DDs. Not a bad thing, just an observation what ever Last Hurrah For Chivalry is a lot cheaper on Amazon.com than .co.uk its £25.39 on co.uk which is US$40.9109 & on .com its from its US$4.25 which is £2.63762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Marketplace on Amazon.com isn't much good for those outside the USA as postage is a minimum of about $12-13. So a $3 disc would be over $15 in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venom10463 Posted January 23, 2010 Member Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'll be weary at buying DVDs from an unknown seller at that price. In my personal opinion, I think they're are bootleg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member HAZ Posted January 23, 2010 Member Share Posted January 23, 2010 This is all deadstock, I'm sure. Bought from stores that have gone belly up. I buy HKL DVD's from similar sellers in the UK all the time for 5 dollars CAN. The shipping is 5 bucks. Not a bad deal, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member tdb Posted January 23, 2010 Member Share Posted January 23, 2010 deadstock: Old store item that is unused and never sold. Sometimes referred to as NOS (never off shelf).

Member Grady-San Posted January 24, 2010 Member Share Posted January 24, 2010 It all depends on the seller.. I have been buying from certain 3rd party sellers for years off of amazon and never had any issues. Just read there feedback, that always helps.

Member inframan Posted January 24, 2010 Member Share Posted January 24, 2010 deadstock: You did not buy bootlegs. Not trying to be negative but there were, and still are, a lot of Red Sun bootlegs of those title on Amazon, honestly you won't know till they arive. I hope they are legit though.

Guest WuxiaFan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'd also check the seller's return policy as most of the reputable sellers will take back an unopened DVD if it was not what you thought you were buying. Also, if I'm not mistaken, when you buy from a 3rd party seller on amazon, you get the same guarantees as amazon.com. So, if you get screwed with a bootleg and the seller won't take it back, you should be able to dispute it through amazon. I've bought a fair amount of DVDs from 3rd party sellers on amazon they've been exactly as described. I haven't had any problems, but I always read the latest feedback and their return policy before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sandpalm79 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Member Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ok so i got the first DVD ..it says on it RED SUN DYNASTY.. not a bootleg right? haha just kidding this one came from "Black Ink" 3rd party. Came in two days. Sealed with the type of seal on the top of the dvd ( the one that is hard to remove) Has proof of purchase/ legit barcode blah blah.. So these are not bootlegs but thank you guys for the heads up! P.S watching Bey Logan's interview on heroes of the East and this guy is amazing. So knowledgeable and passionate. I would have loved to have eaten Dinner with Him And Linn hayes R.I.P :-( I would be so humbled and learn so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are legit though. Yes you will know. Read product description and you'kk know exactly what your getting. I've ordered from amazon countless times. I think once or twice I got shafted by someone selling a product of mexico to me. Metallica ride The Lighting CD, in fact. Don't worry about the martial arts flicks. If the product description says Red Sun then that's what you got, otherwise not. Just read everything including reviews. Reviews are 'usually' very accurate.

Reviews are 'usually' very accurate. The problem with that is they don't always create a new entry for each new relelase, the will link the same set of reviews to multiple releases. Look at Five Venoms for example, plenty of "dont buy this bootleg" reviews but they linked all those to the Dragon Dynasty relese too. Just ask the seller a question if you're unsure.
