What's your opinion about this?
Way I see it, people who buy the OT overcharged from eBay and various other sources, simply did not put any effort at all in searching for the OT, otherwise they would have found this site (as I did). In this point of view, if people are willing to pay $100-$150 instead of doing a little search, well, that's their choise.
I agree that yes, people selling the OT DVD's on eBay are making profit out of another man's work simply because they have a DVD-r, but look at it in that way: If it wasn't for those people, some buyers who got their DVDs from them would not ever have found this site, and they would not have the option of owning an OT DVD.
In that point of view, the "dark side" dealers, contribute a little to this site's cause.
Don't get me wrong, I hate them too, but I wanted to light another aspect of this thing...

Seeing Dr Gonzo's DVDs all over eBay prompted me to put a big "NOT FOR SALE" in red letters at the start of my DVD. Although it would be very easy to remove, it makes it just a little more work if anyone wanted to start selling my DVD.
