LOST complete DVD boxset £26

Comments

  • I had my boxset a few weeks ago from amazon.com, had to pay about £8 in VAT/Tax/Import duty or whatever it is. Still works out at about £20 cheaper than buying the 2 part rip off boxset.

    try https://www.taomart.com. LOST series one for $16 plus shipping. Postage is a bit pricey, but if you combine orders it makes more sense. Or how about all 20 james bond movies for $30? or all six star wars movies for $11?

    All in presentation boxes and all with proper printed dvds, and all in english.

    I have ordered quite a bit from them and they are genuinely very very good value.

    These look very much like DVD Silvers. Basically a very very very good COPY.

    Really? and you can tell all that just by looking at the site. Wow.

    i listed this to give people options, in the same way as importing the DVDs from america, buying copies on ebay and buying copies at a boot sale are all options... you pays your money you makes your chances.

    The come extremely well presented in a very nice custom made case. I'm really happy with the stuff i've got. Not saying they're not copies of some sorts, but taomart have been going quite a while and it seems strange they haven't been closed down. They do bang the drum a lot on the site that they are legal asian versions of the dvds, but i guess its ups to the individual to decide.

    I'm happy with them. and where else can you buy a star wars box set of all six movies at the moment (other than your local car boot sale!) ??

    it is my 6th sense.

    #20 Bond movies for $30 (Less than a £1 a film/disk)
    #Multi region.
    #And says these are not copies

    Sound very similar to an EBAY auction. Which are normally copies.

    They are copies, with custom made dvd covers, so yes they are illegal in the UK. However, they are very good prices!!

    Like the op said it's a shame their postage is so expensive. I tried to buy lost and the postage was more than the dvd!!!

    yeah the only way is to buy a couple at a time - the postage doesn't double it just goes up a bit so thats worthwhile.

    I suspect thats where the ebay blokes are getting theirs - i've seen some boxed sets on there with similar covers.
