eBay stores are a haven for finding low-price DVDs. They are also a haven for finding OVER-priced DVDs.
Many eBay stores tend to mark up their DVDs, making up to a 300% profit in comparison to the recommended retail price.
It is interesting to search for a particular DVD, and discover that there is a significant price range for the same title.
While shopping for DVDs, it is important not to buy a DVD from the first seller you come across, but rather use PATIENCE and compare the prices from a handful of sellers.
Here are some examples (as at 20/05/07) from eBay stores:
__________________________________________________________
DVD: "Into the Blue" [Brand New]
JJA Entertainment - $39.99
Yanlou6868 - $34.78
Movie Mars - $25.71
Elite Entertainment - $14.94
PRICE DIFFERENCE: $25.05
Same item- drastic price range between stores!

DVD: "Raise Your Voice" [Brand New]
JJA Entertainment - $44.99
Aussie Gamer - $41.00
Yanlou6868- $35.05
Elite Entertainment - $14.94
PRICE DIFFERENCE: $30.05
Same item - even greater price range between stores!
__________________________________________________________
DVD "Alias Season 3" [Brand New]
JJA Entertainment - $104.99
Entertainment House - $94.95
Gift Station DVD Zone - $59.95
Shop 4 DVD - $44.95
Elite Entertainment - $32.98
PRICE DIFFERENCE: $72.01
Same item - totally ridiculous price range between stores!

As you can see by this very small example, eBay Buyers are being ripped off in many cases!
Would you seriously pay up to $72 more for the exact same DVD?!
I am an eBay DVD Seller and I know exactly how much it costs to buy DVDs wholesale from the distributors. The answer is: not much.
Fellow eBayers, do your research, compare prices, and don't get ripped off!
