Amazon And Ebay Have A Bootleg And Damage Problem

[@hecticstairs]

amazon has become the online goodwill / blockbuster video of the 2020s

Absolutely agreed, dude

Great video. I liked the part where you complained to your wife that the Clone War's DVD wasn't working.

I’ve noticed this in the past with a few things but my thing isn’t getting bootlegs or damaged discs. I’d get sets like Tales From The Crypt and have them all but season 1’s second disc because they gave me a duplicate disc 1 for season 1. I had this happen when I ordered the Swamp Thing movie set that was notorious for having two copies of return of the swamp thing and not the OG movie. I even noticed when Walmart had in the Scream Factory The Fly collection - The Fly II sometimes had two-3 dupes in the box sets lol. When it comes to series or collections or what have you - I think that’s where the annoying stuff always happens. My brother ordered the original drop of the F13 scream factory box set and for example - F13 Part 3 ‘s audio was messed up and Part 7’s entire transfer looked like s***. Until scream factory rectified that with customers, he was stuck with the bag. And from what I heard, some company bought up the defunct sets and sold them all over eBay and continued the pattern making everything worse lol. Great video Mike!

Man, this shit is getting out of hand lol. I got Pinky and the Brain’s complete series today, and bought it supposedly new from Amazon. Clearly had been opened, some of the discs had light scratches, and the pamphlet inside was bent up to hell, like someone got angry with it. So sick of this shit. I clicked on my order on the app, it says it was actually sold by Gruv and not Amazon, but when I click on the picture to take me back to the actual item’s page? Says it’s shipped by Amazon. Dude, I’ve really stewed over this today, and I don’t even want to buy online anymore, after this last few months of this crap. Hadn’t even heard about the Swamp Thing issue, but I had heard about the others being massive problems. We deserve better, as customers.

I have a top 100 grossing mens clothing store on ebay which means I thrift a lot and nobody in the US sells more counterfeit good than Goodwill. it's out of control. I can't imagine media where you can just make the product easily at home.

It’s pretty wild lol. I’ve seen a lot of these bootleg boxes for movies at Goodwills, but they never care.
