Are your DVDs and Videos New or Second-hand?

Nearly all of the DVDs and Videos that we offer for sale on eBay are brand new. Occasionally we obtain good used DVD and Video stock and we always check and certify these as being in "A1" condition before making them available. We do not  buy and resell stock from Video Hire Shops. We always mention if the DVD or Video title is "Brand New" or "A1 Used" on the auction listing for that particular title, usually directly under the cover illustration. We have no hesitation in backing all of our DVD and Video titles with a *100% Money Back Guarantee. (see below)

If a DVD or Video is listed as new will it always be shrink-wrapped?

Unfortunately not all distributors shrink-wrap their new product, however we guarantee that all product listed as brand new is just that.

Will your Videos play on my video recorder?

Our Video are not "gray" imports they are designed (and we guarantee them) to play on Australian VHS players and recorders. They are recorded in PAL VHS format. They may also play in some multi-system players, consult your video player instruction book.

Will your DVDs play on my DVD player?

Our DVDs are not "gray" imports they are designed (and we guarantee them) to play on Australian DVD players. They are formatted in PAL and encoded for Region 4 unless stated otherwise on our auction listings. You may notice that some discs have multiple zones (listing shows: All Zones) ensuring playability in other countries, providing your DVD player and television are both PAL compatible.

Will your DVDs play on my computer?

Generally speaking all DVDs playback on home computers or laptops provided they have a DVD-ROM drive which is compatible with the region encoding of the disc. Most computer monitors will display both NTSC and PAL signals. We do however advise you to check your manual for verification before you proceed with purchase of DVDs.

What if my disc won't work?

Quite often the cause of this can be due to discs that have been handled incorrectly (i.e. fingerprints or scratches on the read surface, discs forcibly removed from their casing causing cracks etc). It is most unusual for a disc to be faulty in any way when manufactured. There are rare instances of faulty batches which usually result in product recalls. It is therefore imperative that you check for any of these problems before contacting us. Occasionally discs have been found to be not compatible with certain DVD players which is why we encourage our customers to firstly check any problem discs on another brand of player. Failing this read on for details of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Do you sell DVDs and Videos anywhere other than eBay Auctions?

No, not at the present time. eBay on-line auctions provide a measure of security for both sellers and buyers and it is a convenient way to conduct business over the internet. This assists in keeping our overheads down and this keeps our  prices down.

Why are your DVDs and Videos so cheap?

We don't consider our DVDs or Videos to be cheap, we think they are priced with-in a range that all DVDs and Videos should be priced. Hollywood studios and distributing companies are making a lot of money from over-charging on DVDs and Videos! We think it's about time retailers took a stand and started offering consumers DVDs and Videos at lower prices.

How can I pay for my auction purchase?

We offer several convenient methods of paying for your auction purchases. Pay online with your credit card (PayMate, PayPal), transfer payments directly to our bank account or send us an Australia Post Money Order or Bank Cheque.
