It seems to be fixed now. Also, weirdly, a long standing bug I had with the site where it kept reloading the login screen after logging in seems to have been fixed!

Firefox and Chrome are complaining about "ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID", and don't let me proceed to the main site unless I tell them to ignore the errors. This usually means that something on the site is broken (in my experience it's HTTPS / SSL certificates.)

Edit: This also seems to be affecting loading DVD images on item pages.

So uh, just a heads up for folks in case they see this error.

I'll take them!

Sending a message to Kyle for the Die Hard sets

Deadwood: The Complete Series, UPC Code 883929726974

The reason it's unpostable? Disc 1 came loose in the packaging, and is scratched. I have no way of polishing it, but the rest of the discs seem to be okay.

The site says it's worth 19 credits, but you can have it for 12 credits. Lemme know (by posting here and sending a private message) if you're interested in it.

I have a bunch of multiple disc DVD sets that I want to trade out to people, but their condition isn't perfect (or it's sets that are good but want to move for cheap / as a deal), so I don't feel like asking for the full credit amount would be fair. So I want to make a thread where I post these discs, explaining the issues, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the trade (so I don't break the rules.)

Am I supposed to ask that people post the request for the full credit value, and when the item is received, I buddy them the credits? For example, I have a DVD set with eight discs, and I want to post it for five because one disc has moderate scratches and the case is busted. So I'd post it, someone requests it, I post it directly to their wish list, and send the item. So when the item is received and I get the credits, I buddy the difference back. Is that allowed?

Sorry, I've been gone from the site for a while, and want to make sure I don't break a rule without meaning to. Thanks.

Requesting from TK942 (Tammy K.):

Anastasia Bluray; Small Soldiers DVD; Battlestar Galactica: The Plan Bluray

I had these sets for a while, but the packaging broke down, so I had to toss it. The discs are in good shape with minimal scratches (those boxes kinda sucked), and there were like 35 discs, so I figure asking 14 for all of them is fair.

Due to the rule regarding transactions on the site, I need to ship this with one normal DVD transaction. I don't have a lot of things in my tower at the moment but I have a huge chunk of movies I'm gonna be getting rid of later this year, so I might have something you want in there! Just point me to your wish list and if I have it, I'll post it so you can grab it, you buddy me the remaining 14 credits, and I'll ship everything off together.

PM me if you're interested. (Or if I messed up, mods, please don't yell at me. I'm not sure if this is 100% kosher.)

Late reply, but... I'd like to add some comments.

Many DVDs released by big studios cannot be copied to a hard drive because of a standard copy protection called CSS; if you try to copy the files, the drive will say there's errors in the files and they cannot be copied. Basically: If you own a DVD by Warner, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Sony, Disney, etc: The disc is copy protected with this. More info can be read at Wikipedia.

Nowadays there's different kinds of protection that are much more complex than this, but they also make the discs a bit slower to load on some players and PC playback software. (Which made newer Redbox rentals a pain in the butt to watch!)

This protection costs money, I think the licensing fee has to be paid for every single title... And a lot of DVD distributors - particularly ones that did Public Domain content - won't pay for it, so they just release their movies with no protection. Those discs can be copied easily with any software. I collect a lot of PD distirbutors and I've never seen any of the smaller ones use copy protection. However companies like Echo Bridge and Mill Creek do.

There are also printed DVD bootlegs that look just like a normal DVD, only well, they're bootlegs. There's this specific company from Mexico called DU Video, which basically sold Mexican TV dubs of anime shows on DVD, and every one of their products was pressed at a factory. I figure a bunch of the ones people are buying are like that. I've also owned a lot of anime bootlegs that were factory pressed.

Sorry for rambling, but I had been doing some research on this stuff a while ago for a project I was working on and I tend to geek out a bit, heh.

Edit: Thanks!

Come on folks. :)

Can I link a list of DVDs I already have? Not sure if that'd be against the rules.

It's been half a year and I got credits to burn, so bump!

I might be interested if they contain DVD games or other DVD-ROM content. I've bought a few out of region discs for that alone. :D

Depending on how things go I might return to mine on Monday. I know it'll be mostly cleared out of Blurays, but it's fine.

Get your dollars ready, seems stores are going to get shipments in on Black Friday!

I visited my local one and some clerk put out boxes of DVDs and Blurays with a street date of November 29. I got SUPER lucky and got there right when he was putting them on the shelf, and he still had six boxes leftover. It was mostly crap, but I did find one copy of Elysium on Bluray, lots of horror, and some artsy films.

Bump!

Three week bumparoonie. Let me give you my credits!

PMing MikeL for: Horton Hears a Who BD, Street Fighter Extreme Edition BD, The Tale of Desperaux BD, Happily Never After 2 DVD, Monsters vs Aliens BD.

I need quite a bunch of empty DVD cases. I would be interested in trading for them, but I'm not sure if the shipping cost would make it possible, what with USPS' constant rate hikes...
