How to Identify Counterfeit Bootleg DVD Box Sets Being Sold on eBay and Amazon
By Paul Rudoff on Jun. 25, 2019 at 12:00 PM in Home Video, Public Service Articles
Within the past year, I have been in possession of several counterfeit DVD box sets: Game of Thrones: Seasons 1-7, Mama's Family: The Complete Series, and Tales From The Crypt: The Complete Series. Three different counterfeit Thrones sets were purchased on Amazon (two by me, one by a friend), while Mama and Crypt were both purchased on eBay at different times. Although it's tempting to call these sets "bootleg", that's a completely different thing. These are clearly counterfeit items, as they are designed to look as much like the legitimate box sets as possible. I felt it would be my civic duty to my fellow netizens to point out some ways in which you can identify a counterfeit DVD set from a legitimate one.

Big time sellers can sign up for many different services and pay monthly fees, but what about us little guys and gals? What options are there for us? Well, I thought I would take a quick look at five postage stores that sell USPS postage without charging a monthly fee.
