I FEEL, AFTER YET ANOTHER COUNTERFEIT MOVIE FALLS ONTO MY DOORMAT, COMPELLED TO WARN MY FELLOW EBAYERS ABOUT THE VARIOUS COWBOY SELLERS TOUTING FAKE FILMS OUT THERE. SLOWLY BUT SURELY I AM GETTING THE GIST OF THEIR TERMINOLOGY NOW SO I HAVE DECIDED TO PASS IT ON. DO NOT BOTHER WITH ANY SO-CALLED 'PUBLIC DOMAIN' TITLES AS THEY ARE JUST CHEAP IMITATIONS WITH ARTWORK DECIDED UPON BY THE PIRATE AND WITH LITTLE OR NO EXTRAS. IF THEY HAVE MULTIPLE LISTING OF NEW TITLES AT A KNOCK DOWN PRICE IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE KNOCK OFF COPIES WITH PHOTOCOPY COVERS. EVEN STILL SEALED ISN'T A GUARANTEE BECAUSE YOU CAN NOW BUY PORTABLE SEALERS TO USE AT HOME ! SO IF THAT PRICE FOR 'CATACOMBS', 'VACANCY', 'SMOKIN ACES', 'FRANKENSTEIN' OR 'NAKED BLOOD' LOOKS TOO GOOD THEN IT IS BECAUSE IT'S DODGY. AND ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BURN YOUR MONEY. I NOW SCRUTINISE FEEDBACK, DESCRIPTIONS, RELEASE DATES, SELLER ID'S EVERY SINGLE TIME - IT MIGHT TAKE LONGER BUT IT'S WORTH IT. ON THE PLUS SIDE FOR SOME STRANGE REASON I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN SENT A DODGY REGION ONE FILM, SO MY ADVICE IS IF YOU CAN, BUY A R1 PLAYER OR AT LEAST A MULTI REGION AND THEN STICK TO R1 DISCS - THIS HAS AN ADDED BONUS IN THAT YOU NORMALLY GET UNRATED, UNCUT, EXTREME EDITIONS THAT ARE LONGER AND WITH BETTER EXTRAS. THERE IS OF COURSE ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE - IF YOU ARE AFTER A LONG SINCE DELETED OR BANNED FILM THEN THE SOB'S ARE THE ONLY AVENUE TO GET A COPY ! HOPE THAT HELPS SOMEONE OUT THERE.
