Does anyone know anything about this website? The DVDs are very very cheap. I would assume they are bootlegs? Has anyone ever dealt with them before?

How is the quality on these things?

um well that depends some are as good as the real thing some are shit. when u buy them u take a gamble. also it might not have the english audio track and other stuff the real version has. i dont suggest u buy a bootleg. also when u buy them ur money is going to support the chines drug and slave trade

I have some bootlegs...my RahXephon series one was subbed, but it blew...my Love Hina series one is perfect quality with dub and all...just a matter of what you can afford. I perfer the real stuff when I have the money but sometimes I dont like a series enough to spend well over a 100 on it, but i'd like to have it around...maybe for watching, or footage or whatever...anyways this part was right on the spot:

Why do some people buy unlicensed anime goods?
More than often people don't know they are buying pirate goods, so are unaware that they might be getting ripped off one way or another. Another is cost, collecting anime and manga can be an expensive hobby, so fans are sometimes willing to sacrifice quality for a cheaper alternative. Occasionally the legitimate item might not be available, so fans go for bootlegs in this case too.
