Is this site trustworthy...

Post by MrEco »

There's this website, familyvideo.com, and I'm wondering if they can be trusted to buy things from. I've never heard of them before and they have suspiciously low prices (Example: $35 for something that's $60 on Amazon). Also, the layout of the site doesn't exactly scream "big-budget."

It's a local chain of video rental shops, there's a few in Springfield MO where I live. Nice places.

Yeah, they're legit. Video/game rental chain in a good part of the US. The games they have on familyvideo.com are used rentals from all their stores. They're been featured many times on deal sites like cheapassgamer and slickdeals.

Well okay then. Though I must ask, is it only the games that are used rentals or the DVD/Blu-Ray's too?

We've got one here too. Never been, but I've heard nice things and they still get decent business, which says a lot for video rental places nowadays.

There's one near were I used to live, in Rolla, MO, but I didn't realize they had a website or were a big chain. Anyway, before I started using Netflix, they were like Blockbuster, except twice as good. Much cheaper rates, and the selection was just as good. If Blockbuster and Hollywood Video had been like Family Video, maybe they wouldn't be on life support and dead, respectively. I went to Rolla earlier this year, and they were the only brick and mortar video rental place still in business. Anyway, they are definitely legit.

Yep, I can also vouch for them. They have a handful of locations where I live.

I can also vouch for them. They must be doing something right to still have so many retail locations. Rented from one near me numerous times.
