I am honest with them all the time. I don't just get in touch and say every other disc is faulty for a refund and a freebie. I'm sure they'd catch on pretty quick.
Yeah, their service and prices are spot in a far as I'm concerned. They only annoy me when I am trying to sell something and they undercut the price.

keep an eye on rare items. If someone lists a grotty disc only acceptable copy of something ZOVERSTOCKS will automatically undercut it anyway as they never check the listings, they just use the function that automatically undercuts to make them the cheapest. I got a knackered copy of a fairly rare/expensive amytiville movie (dollhouse) I listed it dirt cheap and zoverstocks undercut me so I bought theirs! it went from about £12 down to £3.

You don't even have to actually own the disc for that to work...ahem...

I get hundreds of items from them and i think i've only complained around four times.

You should see the condition of discs Blockbuster try and say are pre-owned round here.

Anyone selling something for under £200 could probably undercut you though.

Generally a lot of Blocky's discs have been previously owned by morons who think putting the disc back in the case is an optional extra. I remember one bloke kicking up a fuss because I wouldent accept his discs, they were greasy and stunk of tobacco, he mumbled about selling them on ebay and walked out, I pity the poor b*****d who ended up buying them.

Nah i've had plenty of good discs of ZOVERSTOCKS and one or two really quite bad condition ones, they don't seem to check them and just stick them out as very good regardless, come into my blockbusters and i'll at least show you the disc and give you right of refusal.

Personally when I stick stuff on amazon I usually don't care about undercutting, i'm fine waiting until the others sell, or alternatively with the silly-priced items, their from my own collection and I dont really want to part with them, so I stick on a whopping great price tag, if it sells great, i it dosent no loss. I'm actually not keen at all to part with any of my code red discs.

Default Event Horizon (1997)

Event Horizon (1997),a film I enjoy mainly due to a good cast working with a script and dialogue that makes Glee look like Hamlet,Paul W.S. Anderson or Mr Jovovich films is like having colonic irrigation with battery acid but damn it I keep watching his films.

It's definitely in good company with the like of Forbidden World and the like, but it's not a bad time-waster at all... Event Horizon is great title I think. Is this Paul W.S. Anderson's masterpiece ?
