Hi there fellow Aussies,

 

If I wanted to buy the DVD box set of the first 20 Bond movies, what is the best source? Is eBay best?

 

I want to know the safest way to get quality product without spending too much.

 

Thanks

 

Dave

Hi Dave, if you're going the eBay rout make sure that the seller has a very near perfect feedback rating. Unfortunately you can get stung by poor or counterfeit items, but by checking the feedback comments (and particularly the negative comments) you can get a good idea of whether it is legit.

 

Aside from that, the only way to be sure of what you're getting is by buying in store. JB Hi Fi is selling the 50th anniversary 23 film DVD box set for $125.

I haven't seen the first 20 film box set in store for some time if that's specifically what you're after, so online will be your best bet. I have bought many DVDs and Blu Rays off Amazon UK and US and the regions are often not an issue (on a few occasions it has been, so I think this is down to the individual players and discs).

Yep, I'd go with JB Hi-Fi too. In store or online.
