Need advice on "possible" DVD set purchase on Ebay

[CorCentral]

How would the quality be on these you suppose? Can they be bad?
The shows come on 6 dvd's.... well look for yourself and tell me if this is a good deal.
Gummi Bears complete Episodes on dvd

Disney has yet to release these on dvd so someone has copied the actual shows off of tv and put them on dvd's. I'm just not wanting CRAP quality. I want something halfway decent. I know it's not going to be "new/movie/dvd quality" but I have seen some of these copies people have made and they suck azz **LOL**

I'm wanting to purchase for my 'lil sis, she loves the Gummi Bears. I must confess also, that I used to watch the cartoons with her when we were both younger. (15+ years ago)

What's wrong with this?

Im jacking it.

Mine now

J.K.. I wouldn't do that, but I'd buy it for a nice gift for my little cousins.

 

[pontifex]

um, its ILLEGAL for one!

 

[IanthePez]

easily one of the best shows from the 80s....but I wouldn't buy them. My friend bought a few sets before they were on DVD (thundercats, transformers) and they were horrible. So beware, but it's your choice.

The quality should be fine, especially for a kid.

If the show hasn't aired in a while (which I'm guessing, I'm not terribly familar with it) you'll probably be getting copies of VHS copies. So that's the level of quality you can expect, at best.

Errr, those are not official DVDs, they're pirate versions someone has made with a DVD burner and a color printer. You might as well download the episodes, burn them yourself, and print the covers.

i can't believe you and i are the only ones to notice this...
that guy should at least have that auction removed from ebay.

Even if they were retail, I'd say the quality will suck. I just got the Chip and Dale DVDs for my cousins and it looks like VHS copies (retail box set)

 

[mugs]

They all seem to be sold by British sellers. At the prices they're going for, it really can't hurt to try.

**LOL** I believe everyone knows that their not "Official" DVD's you numbnut. I even stated it at the beginning of the thread. Ooooooooh!
Better get your glasses next time huh?

i know you mentioned it in the Op but what i'm talking about is that no one else mentioned that what the seller is doing is ILLEGAL...

DUH

Well making copies of tv shows for your own viewing pleasure is ok I suppose, but when you sell them...... I'm not sure how that goes for old tv shows if you actually record them off of the tv and not VHS. I'm sure they did copy the vhs versions but then again................. I don't know if they even made vhs versions of these (??) Anyone know?
Color me wrong then if I'm incorrect.

selling copyrighted material that isn't on the original media is not legal. he's selling pirated versions of something he most likely doesn't even own.

My point wasn't that they're illegal (I don't care in the slightest) I actually meant "You might as well download the episodes, burn them yourself, and print the covers." It would be cheaper and might be better quality.

 

[amdskip]

My roommate bought some Power Rangers dvds off ebay and the quality sucks on them.

THE QUALITY IS 9.5/10 EASY.....just return them if they aren't 9.5/10 easy
