Welcome to the Lemon Market.


Read this article before you consider buying dvd's on the internet.

There is a growing number of affiliate marketing sites appearing daily which give the illusion of being an official dvd retailer like ClassicMovieStore.co.uk.

They do not supply you the goods, as would first appear, but get a commission for directing you to their affiliate who supplies the goods. All sounds good until your realise that they promote any affiliate, including private individuals on various market places, of whom you might not want to deal with if you saw their customer feedback and products.

Our experience of buying dvd's from market place sellers was one of shock. Often items described as new, would not be brand new and sealed, or not even UK region 2 releases. We found there was a huge supply of what we would call seconds or 'b grade' stock being sold by individuals as 'new'. We can only guess that this b grade stock must somehow originate from retailers who have taken items back for exchange etc (there must be alot of this stock around).

So be carefull that what you are buying as 'new' is actually new. All dvd's supplied by ClassicMovieStore.co.uk are brand new and from the UK manufacturers. We currently have a 5/5 star customer satisfaction rating on our Google feedback and 100% on our Ebay Feedback with all our our 5 DSR ratings at about 4.5/5. Remember dvd retailing really is a market for lemons. If you think we are biased as a retailer go ahead and buy from them, your soon be back to buy from us for good and will have corrected your information asymmetry!
