    Personally,I`d proceed with caution here if you are at all interested and I`d ask a ton of questions before buying if you are in fact looking for legit dvds.This seller is registered in Singapore and shipping out of US,allowing you to pick titles and none of their feedback includes them selling dvds.These are usually pretty good indicaters that the dvds are not the real deal.

    Yea the Singapore thing is a big red Flag *alert alert* .

    If your going to buy, don't bother asking questions about the DVDs as thats easy to lie about, ask questions for you to check the authenticity of the persons business.

    I've had too many queries & skepticism about the authenticity of these dvds. As I've said, these are original Region 1 dvds at WHOLESALE price, meaning BULK purchases. I CAN'T even sell them to you if you purchase below 25 titles.

    It's up to you to believe. One question, do you honestly believe that the big retail stores are earning only a FEW bucks off the dvds you purchase? I'm talking about stores that priced them over $20. Now, what is the cost price of manufacturing a dvd? Do the math & let me know if you still think that $7.99 is so dirt-cheap that it has to be bootleg. :)

    Just a thought. Maybe if i priced them at $15.99, no one would question about their authenticity. It's funny really, when i try my best to keep prices down and turns out, everyone's asking if they're bootlegs.

    I would price them higher next time lol.

    Gee I can 8)

    Also why is it all the scammers out there have that same list or near the same one? Do not buy any DvD's without security seals and other DvD's like Finding Nemo, Lord Of The Rings Etc. does not come with one disc never has never will. Alot say some stores only buy one disc DvD's, and they were made specifically for them, and the security seals cost them extra. Whick is a load of BS. So just a warning if they don't come the way Wal-Mart buys them then they are fakes, also be sure they have white lable on top stating the movie title. Another thing is if you expect to make any money on them I wouldn't recommend buying these mixed lots. These are DvD's that they can't sell or old and your 99% to lose money. As for this post I'm not saying you a "scammer". As for Wal-Mart everyone seems to think these guys are paying big bucks for there DvD's not making any profit your wrong. Has anyone stopped to relize how many locations there are in the USA? One order from there corporate headquarter supplies all the Wal-Marts in the USA. Now when I go to just my Wal-Mart I see over 300 Finding Nemo's so I'm sure every store got arounf the same amount. If you don't relize ingram and these big companies will give discounts on bulk orders of one exact title let say 100 Terminater 3's the more quanity you buy of one specific title the less it cost. Sure you can't expect a company to bend over backward for 10 of about 70 different DvD's. SO you look at Ingram like there just the highest place you can buy from. If you take a look in the Sunday's sales paper for Wal-Mart you will see there New Release's are only $14.27 for that week then they go back up on price. If they didn't make money or get them cheap I'm definately sure they would not sell them for 14.27 the first week. So there you go there the secret to gettin them cheap buy bulk in 1 specific title. As for the guy above have you ever seen a "Legit" American Release DvD have you ordered from the company you are buying from , and actually seen them for yourself? Just because they are sent from a a warehouse in the USA dosen't mean they are real. I'm not saying there not just looking out for the new guys out there wanting in the buisness, and what they should look out after themselves. So if you buy from anyone be sure to ask those question's I listed above. :twisted:

    Most of the above post is true,but I have aquired many legitimate region 1 dvds from surplus dealers which do not have security devices enclosed or
    white label on top stating title.They originated from Canadian dealers and have a Canada Home Video seal imprinted on back of case and some have security device on outside of case.So while the above post is true 90% of the time,it is possible to get legitimate dvds without them,but it is a very good indicater that somethings fishy.

    Yes I have bought Legit New Release's from certain people, but I began to think it's time to find my own source. Yes you are right some don't come with security seals, but most newer release's do. I ussually by in lots of 30, 40 or whatever they can supply its not much but I'm not going to complain at a good price of 10.00 a piece and can choose the title's. All released within that same week. I have never gotten one without the white label on the top stating the movie title. But I'm not really sure about Canadian DvD's they may not have them. But as you can see with simple lots like this I'm in need of more. Sometime's I'm lucky to get a lot that large. :cry: I have been giving some call's to some Legit Distributer's. So hopefully everything will work out. But it is a really hard buisness to get into and make profit. But If you do buy DvD's be sure to know if they are legit or not. I can get them all day for 12.00 at my local flea market. I thought about asking the guy did he want to wholesale some, but he's kinda got a attitude, but one thing I have learned is not to give up no matter how hard it gets "boy it does" hehe. So I will keep talking and trying to work out deals with the legit companies. But until I find a source I will be looking for other products. Just because I can't find a good source for DvD's yet is not going to stop me from trying to sell other product's. Cause there are alot of other products out there beside's DvD's. :D

    Hi,

    I've been browsing this section and noticed the responses to the Singapore based person selling DVDS.

    Being New Zealand based and looking to trying my hand at selling on Ebay, I'm now concerned that I could get a similar negative response. Am I right in thinking I may not get positive results on Ebay?

    I've talked to someone who has a first hand experience with prices Walmart pays for its dvds, and even though that person wouldn't give me the exact amount, I can conclude that Walmart is getting their dvds for around $7-$9, which means they are making $5+ on each dvd.

    In the past I've purchased sample lots from Malaysia, Singapore, etc, and I can tell you that all were Region 0 -> bootlegs.

    If you want a good mixed lot of dvds than I would suggest:
    http://www.bestdealdvds.com/index.html
    The site is down right now but it should be up soon...

    As to buying from distributors/manufacturers, I don't think they would allow you to sell their dvds on eBay. Speaking from "someone's" experience.

    Go read all my previous posts on dvds, as well as others. You'll be suprised how much you'll learn....

    The distributors said the same bs to me. Walmart uses them as leaders. Well I was in their store last night. they have dvds for 9.99, 7.99 and some for $14.99. They are new to newer releases. I do not believe that walmart takes a total lost on every dvd they sell. Every dvd price was cheaper that what ingram and D&H where trying to sell them to me for. And as for buying a 100, I tried their price came down 10% making it still higher than walmart. SO facts are the facts. I read alot of responses about this subject. But give me one supplier that sells legit dvd cheaper than walmart sells them in their store. And I mean legit. Walmart is either trying to kill the dvd market to hurt the smaller retailer. Which they are known to do. This is how they wipe out their local compatition. T

    Also, If walmart is selling them cheaper then Why hav'nt the distributors step in and complain. This is killing their market too. eventuly it will make them go out of business. I think it is a lot BS from these distributors. Walmart has alot of floor space dedicated to dvds not to make anymoney on them. Also buying assorted dvd is a scam too. I just got burned by someone in here. They said they would refund my money minus a 20% stocking fee. I am just glad I only bought a small lot at first. That is another good Idea. If you not sure of the supplier buy a small quantity at first even if you pay alot more. I am only out $300 compare to $1,000's now. So in a way I feel lucky,Hmmmm

    First off, Walmart is not a leader in DVD sales. Walmarts DVD selection and sections in there stores are usually very small. They don't even got the best prices on DVD's most of the time. They just have a small selection of budget priced DVD's here and there but you can usually get cheaper elsewhere (*cough cough* Best Buy, Circuit City *cough cough*).

    As for there prices of 7.99-9.99 DVD's... those are only on cheaper old releases, direct to video, poor selling films. New hollywood blockbusters are not selling at those prices... unless you think Battlefield Earth is a blockbuster selling for 7.99.

    Target has a better DVD section than most Walmarts even heh. Walmart killing the industry? Hardly, there are tons of HUGE retailers who sell at about the same prices or better out there.

    You want to buy DVDs cheap to sell at those low prices? Like everyone keeps saying, buy HUGE orders. And the number you got in your head as "large" is not large enough for these distrubutors, thats for sure.

    Hey wait...I am on vacation...shhhhhh...don't wake the girlie girl....

    hmmmmm 25 dvds at 7.99?????

    Your insane.

    Tell you what. I got about $20K collecting dust. I will buy your entire stock in cash provided:

    1. They are Region I new releases
    2. I can inspect, at my cost, the DVDs before purchase.

    Call my manager at (520)792-0486 (I am out of country), because you are selling these DVDs below what Wal Mart buys them for...trust me I know, my sister handles ALL electronic and media purchases for Wal-Mart/Sam's Club out of Arkansas.

    I can't even buy them in bulk (10,000) at this price directly from her.

    OK, I promise this is my last post until sometime in mid-December.

    I quoted a direct source who signs the damn purchase contracts for electronics and media (dvd, cd's, vhs) for Wal Mart.

    This guy comes on and says he owns a coffeee shop next to a Wal Mart and the employees tell him they buy DVDs for $5.50???????? Yes, thats the type of credibility I am looking for when I am spending thousands of dollars....so ignore my previous post.

    Believe what you want, as you people have continually proven on here you will anyway.

    Regardless, my offer to purchase these DVDs met with no response, as I expected. The guy is selling bootlegs.

    First of all, when someone says he has $20k COLLECTING DUST, I'm not so sure if I believe him. I'm not even going to reply as I've said, the choice is yours, it's up to you to believe.

    If you are a serious buyer, then PM me separately. Otherwise, i'll continue to ignore. :?

    Hi all, just to clarify some doubts here.

    To be honest, this is a new dvd supplier we are using. The old supplier was charging us $10.99.. Buy in lots of 10, new releases, but you can't choose the titles. As a result, we've had customers feedback to us that they do not get certain titles that they want.

    Which is why we sourced for this new supplier who gave us a better price & in addition, allow our customers to choose any movies from their list.

    We've done extensive research on this new supplier and they are authentic dvd suppliers. But then again, with bootlegs flooding the internet these days, who can be 100% sure. As mentioned, we drop ship these dvds direct from our US supplier. We do not have any stock off hand. We drop ship a whole host of items and rely entirely on customers' feedback as it's virtually impossible for us to stock even HALF of the items we drop ship.

    Because we are using a new supplier, we've already offered our first three customers a 100% cash back if these are found to be bootlegs. With reassurances from our supplier that they only deal in legit Region 1 dvds (& we've done our research on them), PLUS a 100% money back guarantee given to our first three customers, I honestly don't know what else we can do to ensure that we DO NOT want to be dealing in bootlegs.

    If our customers feedback and say that these are bootlegs, we will DEFINITELY stop using this supplier. In addition, we'll refund our customers whatever they've paid. Will then revert to the old supplier.

    So there, we are NOT out to scam anyone from this board. We've been holding back on the larger orders and are awaiting our customers' reports on the new supplier's dvds.

    We believe in giving every supplier a FAIR chance to prove themselves. That's why we decided to use the new supplier & in addition, gave 100% money back guarantee to our first three customers (as always when we get new suppliers who deal in multimedia products).

    Please do not buy if you don't believe us. Frankly, I'm quite tired of answering emails DEMANDING WHY I've made my previous auctions private and emails with all the bashing & hostility. I'll say this again, we believe in giving everyone a fair chance to prove themselves. If we're wrong, we'll compensate these customers. It will be at a complete loss to us but as I've said, we are not here to scam anyone and we definitely do not wish to sell bootlegs.

    I'll appreciate if people from this forum stops the bashing & hostility and gives me some constructive feedback instead. Thanks.

    Business 101-When a buyer offers to buy your product (for cash no less),it`s a good idea to follow up on the offer.

    Hi wholesale4sale,

    If a customer comes up to you & says 'I have $20k collecting dust, just doing nothing but COLLECTING DUST', you seriously believe??

    This $20k guy is just taunting me, can't you see!!?

    And I'll continue to ignore him for now. 8)

    hey dvd sales I understand what you mean, just about everybody here has been scammed once so they think that everybody with a good deal is a scam. I read a lot of posts and I know that a lot of the time if something sounds too good to be true it is, but you wont know unless you give it a try. So like dvd sales says if you are not serious about ordering with the guarantee that he is giving, then dont waste his time. I remember that once I had a supplier that offered me all GBA games at 50 percent off retail and a lot of people were telling me that it sounded to good to be true just like this dvd deal, I gave it a try anyway and guess what the deal came through, the only thing was that I had to order 100 games at a time he let me order a few games cause it was my first time and everything came through good I got those final fantasy tactics games foor liek $18 some were new and some were used but original packaging I still sold them for $25+ on ebay thats a pretty good profit, so to everybody in here dont judge people for what others have done to you, just give this guy a try, also dvd sales you said you were getting a sample package from them how did it go. Did they have the security seal on them if they did I would like to order from you right away. Please dont ask for my source because any smart besiness person you sell info you dont give it away.

    Hi genu,

    I did receive sample packs from this supplier as well as emailed photos.. They are all legitimate Region 1 sealed dvds.

    HOWEVER, what they sent out to my first few clients do not contain ALL legitimate disc. I've since refunded my customers on the bootlegs that they've received. Very disappointed with this supplier.

    As such, I've decided to terminate my agreement with them. I can't do business with such dishonest people.

    I'm in the midst of liaising a few more deals with other suppliers. This time round, I'll go down personally to inspect the goods. If all goes well, I'll be in States sometime in the second week of Dec.

    I'm really sorry but those who PM me to ask for a title list, I'm afraid I can't oblige now.

    I've also ended my listing on ebay. Terribly sorry to disappoint those who were interested.

    I'm thinking of spending some money to get onto a distributor network. That way, i'll get new released dvds at cost price. Also in the midst of setting up my website. What I really want to do is to supply legit Region 1 dvds at wholesale prices.

    Sick of suppliers who mix old n new titles and dishonest suppliers who show me one thing but ship something else to customers.

    If you are a REAL dvd supplier, pls PM me. I have a huge database of clients who are keen to buy legit Region 1 dvds.

    I know I should have been more careful but when I went through the title list of the new supplier, there are titles I can buy off other suppliers for $7 or less, which is partly why i believed they can do it at the price of $7.99. Theirs is also a company that has been around for years. Well according to them, they had some dvds shipped from overseas and had NO idea those were bootlegs! :roll:

    Thanks for all your constructive comments & encouragement. Greatly appreciated. :)

    Dvd sales,
    I`m going to assume all of the info in your posts are true.That this has all been a misunderstanding by myself and all others.I`m going to wipe the slate clean and start over and assume the following.......

    You are an average person trying to make a living like everyone else.

    You joined this forum to not only help yourself,but to help others just like you.

    You just got burnt by a dishonest supplier.

    You are going to warn others about this specific supplier,so others just like you do not also get burnt.

    Thanks

    Hi wholesale4sale & all,

    Yes, we are a familiy-based business and have a registered company (not a big one though) so yes, I'm telling the truth.

    No point me trying to scam anyone, it'll be really easy to find out who we are & what we do.. We have very strict laws in my country, as I'm sure you know.

    I wonder how these people can sell bootlegs so openly through the web (with their addresses & phone numbers listed!) AND never get caught?? What I believe is that most 'suppliers' sell a mixture of Region 1 & bootlegs. That's why in most cases, they are still legitimate suppliers. No point asking for samples. They'll just send you their legit Region 1. :shock:
