Another one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/112846045606?ul_noapp=true

Reported. I can’t be the only one looking at all these people profiting off of “I’ll send you a link via dropbox” and thinking two things:

  1. What scumbags taking advantage of other’s hard work an ripping off their customers.

and

  1. Maybe I should be doing this and quit my day job, because it seems to be working for them.

Just kidding on the second one, but I am seriously baffled how they’re actually getting people to purchase. I mean, I can kind of wrap my head around the people selling blurays, because some people just don’t want to take the effort of burning them and printing off labels and such, but with decent internet speed it seriously takes maybe an hour or two at most to download these FOR FREE. Why are people paying for a dropbox link to the same files that will likely take just as long?!

Damn it.

Found a YouTube video reviewing the *** versions of NJVC’s blurays, there’s been one comment so far trying to set him right (that’s these are supposed to be obtained freely and he’s being scammed) but one only.

We should all get on and post a comment each telling him the same thing, that he is actively helping to advertise a scam and that he needs to make a retraction edit to this video or a follow up video explaining the issues with what he bought and reviewed:

Not sure if this counts but the college I’m at called Grandview has been showing the Marvel movies for the past week. Well they had a bootleg of Black Panther that they showed a snippet of.

No I don’t think that counts as selling the despecialized edition. It’s still illegal though but has nothing to do with us.

I don’t see why this thread has to be only about Despecialized.

Black Panther is a fan project? I’m impressed.

Ceci n’est pas une signature.

I was referring to the blanket statement that only Despecialized can be discussed here, not to the specific referencing of a Black Panther bootleg.

I’m currently working on a V2 of my regrade, which will now completely remove the blanket despecialized statement that is heavily present on the Blu-ray of the thread.

I wasn’t impressed by the newest Blu-Ray master of this thread. I always prefered the DVD master, but its becoming less and less watchable in quality over the years. I’m looking forward to your v2 regrade as your v1 has become my go-to version of this thread.

Hi,

I’ve just seen this listing of Harmy’s Despecialized Star Wars trilogy on eBay. I reported it as a bootleg on the listing page: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273139608993

This guy is also trying to sell another set in an auction if you go to his page

I initially posted in the wrong thread and was redirected here. Sorry about that.

“ENDED”. Looks like another sale went down.

More money 20th Century Fox/Lucasfilm/Disney/whatever aren’t getting.

I’ve just seen another listing on eBay. Seems to be a regular occurrence of late… it’s just unbelievable that these people don’t seem to have a conscience about scamming people and making money from other people’s hard work.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-Original-Trilogy-Despecialized-Editions-Blu-Ray/253557113946?

Reported. I mean at least this guy is only asking £3, unlike most other people asking a fortune. Still effed up though.

That’s because it’s an auction and it’s now gone up to £14 and probably more. I saw one listing where the seller had the cheek to mention Harmy and the fact you should own the official release before bidding, and then he contradicts himself by saying he’s giving the discs away free and you would only be paying for the packaging yet the listing was priced at £60+. I honestly don’t know who he thinks he’s kidding.
