Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Okay, this is pretty fucking amazing ... [link]

However, what's more amazing is, they're selling 3 sets. There is an auction that runs out in 20 hours and the highest bid is still only $182 -- for all 5 seasons!!!!

As I said to a friend, even if the winning bid gets up to near $450, it would still be a real bargain.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Shipping is USD$40. Also, are most OZ DVDs region 2 and 4 compatible? Makes me wonder if they're legit copies.

From what I've read/heard, the region coding for 2 and 4 is so similar that it doesn't matter. The MPAA is really only interested in preventing other countries from getting region 1 discs, which is why they then introduced RCE and why you'll only find it on region 1 releases.

Shipping within Australia is only $12 :)

I'd say they're legit copies b/c eBay wouldn't allow them to be sold if there was even the slightest hint of impropriety.

Don't forget, they are also in PAL, not NTSC.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hmmm... I could use that...

well, when I said "impropriety" I was referring to pirate copies ... and ebay.com.au.

should I be blushing at my apparently monumental naivety?

Yes. :)

It's true that eBay will cancel auctions for bootlegged items, but there are sooooo many items on eBay that it's impossible to catch them all. I know, for example, that numerous bootleg VCD copies of the Buffy musical have been auctioned off (I was searching for the Variety DVD for awhile).

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar is desperate to start a family with new hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. and during a recent shopping trip she demonstrated her determination. The sexy star was out shopping in swanky Beverly Hills with her Scooby-Doo costar spouse when they stopped off at a chemist to pick up some essentials. The couple, who wed in September, picked up a home pregnancy testing kit, some vitamins and a hot water bottle - and left promising to fill their house with a gaggle of kids.
