Resale opportunity

While I was looking on ebay I saw came across this store.

WHOLESALE BULK LOT DVD'S - NEW RELEASE DVD MOVIES - RECENT RELEASE DVD MOVIES - ALL DVD'S ARE BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED WITH ARTWORK UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED NO BOOTLEGS.

The prices are(buy it now prices)--

100 dvds-- $75
250 dvds-- $250
500 dvds-- $475
1000 dvds- $925

If you read above, the store owner says

" WHOLESALE BULK LOT DVD'S - NEW RELEASE DVD MOVIES - RECENT RELEASE DVD MOVIES - ALL DVD'S ARE BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED WITH ARTWORK UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED NO BOOTLEGS."

but on the description page he says

"ALL THE DVD MOVIES ARE BRAND NEW, BUT THEY ARE NOT NEW RELEASES. THESE DVDS COME FROM DIFFERENT RETAIL STORE CLOSEOUTS. ALL THE DVD'S SOLD ARE IN ENGLISH FORMAT WITH NO IMPORTS

If I bought 100 dvds for 75 dollars thats 75 cents a dvd. They could easily sell to a flea market/pawn shop/person for 5 dollars a piece.

too good to be true? give me your feedback(the seller has a good reputation)

No it is a scam. What they do is send you like 2 new releases mixed in with 98 region free DVDs that would probably cost like a quarter each. The region free will probably be westerns and stuff like that, their is no way you will be able to sell them, you probably couldn't even give them away. I fell for that shit in 03 but I turned around and resold them to some other sucker.

Right off the bat it seemed like an arbitrage deal...they make small amounts off each dvd...but prolly sell loads...I think you could prolly sell them same way 75 dvds for $100...too much time to little money in my mind though
