    Very odd - unsolicited junk mail, in DVD form. Bin them and forget all about them
    We all evolve - get on with it
  • So, he sent you your payment of 99p, along with the dvds? ooh I'm too nosey, I'd want to know what they were! I wouldn't put it in my computer incase of viruses and stuff, but I'd stick the dvd in the player!

    What on earth did he buy off you where he may think you want his free DVDs??
    He bought a computer game for 99p and £2.00 p+p
    I am very happy to send them to you Princessa if you want them !!!
  • Could be a member of a band or organisation that just wants from free advertising.

    Stick them on ebay and sell them on!!!
  • Oooh yes! You could sell them as mystery dvds. Explain what happened and tell them you're too afraid to watch them.. could be like the ring, lol. Bet someone bids. Or you could mail the guy and ask him what they are if you don't want to watch them.

    You could just email him to say that his game is on the way and say that you don't want to offend but receiving the dvds made you uncomfortable and that you are returning them to him. Then add him to blocked bidder list!

    He'll probably write later to see if you want to buy DVD's from him.
    Pirated goods maybe? If you did, its not cost him very much to get a customer. Dont try selling them on if you arent't going to check them.
    Might be anything rude pics/videos ,trojans anything.
