Sounds like it was legit. Maybe the poster was just offloading a bunch of stuff and did a copy/paste and this particular DVD was still sealed. Or could have been a liquidator situation doing the same thing.l0whit07 wrote:This isn't exactly related to this topic.

I bought Return of the Dragon (Bruce Lee) off of Amazon. It was listed as Used-Good. It arrives and it was still sealed with the plastic. The plastic is very tight, the folds are where they usually are, and it has the "security device enclosed" stickers on all 3 sides. The top one even being stamped with the DVD logo and "Return of the Dragon.
I don't know why someone would go through all that work to sell a DVD they probably made $5 dollars off. Or why they would sell a "New" DVD as used.
Any input? Thanks everyone.
how do you identify a factory sealed vs resealed video game?

Sounds like you got lucky! They could have just made a mistake and sent you a new one.l0whit07 wrote:This isn't exactly related to this topic. It has to do with a DVD being factory sealed or resealed and I didn't want to create another very similar thread to this one.

A similar thing happend to me once. I bought the Ghostbusters movies in a box thing. There were two of them, one expensive with some bonus material and one cheaper without it. I though the bonus material wasn't worth the extra cash so I bought the cheaper one but they sent me the expensive one by mistake!

Re: how do you identify a factory sealed vs resealed video game?
Thanks Hobie-Wan and Jungell!
Well that brightened up my day a bit. I usually never buy on amazon unless it says "Very Good" or "Like New", so I was worried about it. It was just so much cheaper than the other ones, I had to get it. Needless to say this guy will be getting glowing feedback.
I thought about not opening it, since this movie usually goes for more anyway, but I really want to watch it and I have a weird thing where I love opening stuff
