That's insane! Were those licensed or pirated? I know the pirated ones
go for a buck per disc, dunno how much the licensed ones go for though...
also I dunno why so many people bid on those VCDs, as they are subbed in
Chinese, not English.

There's another trick used by this seller from California who is currently
dumping 0083 VCD boxsets: he starts with a price that appeared decent, but
if you read the fine print, he's charging people $12 bucks on shipping "to
cover the initial shipping from Asia"! What a nice bait and switch tactic...
I wonder how many bidders were tricked.
