Coveredinbees!!!!

They are mentioned on hotuk too but I've not been able to find any reviews on them so far.

Anyone on here used them?

BTR DVDs seem to be legit. The domain is registered to an address at a business park near Hove, which ties in with the details they registered with Companies House.

looks like they're a legit company but could be listing out of print/deleted dvds at a low price to get customers then not having them in stock (& apparently they lhave short lived bargains just to grab traffic from price comparison sites)

re the OP there's currently 5 new sealed copies on amazon marketplace, (should be legit & if not or not as described there's Amazon's Safe Buying Guarantee )
He-Man and The Masters of the Universe Complete Season One Boxset [1983] [DVD
check the feedback first (find add buy has had a bit of negative feedback re items not turning up over Christmas)

Many if not most of the "proper" pirates (ie the ones who have done a lot of business and have high feedback scores rather than the fly-by-nights) on eBay are quite open about it.

Thanks for this link. I see what you mean. Perhaps not them, then.

Yes, it's these and the ones at BTR and Play that I have seen

best price but worse reviews of course.

My original problem still remains - finding this in stock with a retailer (and for a reasonable price).

Thanks for the input so far, everyone:)
