    Hi all,

    I only have season 1 + 2 of B5 sitting on my shelf and just browsed eBay to see what the current prices are for the remaining seasons. I saw that there's tons of cheapo B5 DVD sets out there now - presumably of Asian origin, starting from £0.99. Has anybody bought one of those and/or knows if they are any good? Price is sure tempting ...

    I got the lot about 2 months ago and I wouldn't advise it. The DVDs were in really bad condition despite the fact that they were supposed to be new. Trying to get a refund from the guy was like trying to get blood from a stone although I was eventually successful. Now my experience was just with the one seller who was bad but I still reckon you'd be better off paying that bit extra and buying from a store like amazon or the like.

    Thanks everyone. I think I'll order the missing seasons + movies from Amazon.de. At least you know what you get when you order from them. I took a look at Amazon.com, Amazon.fr, Amazon.co.uk and play.com and amazon.de is by far the cheapest:

    Season 3 DVD set:

    Amazon.com: $44.99 (ca. €36)
    Amazon.co.uk: £32.97 (ca. €47)
    Amazon.fr: EUR 36,88
    Play.com: EUR 70.49 (delivered)
    Amazon.de: EUR 25,90
