Son of a mother... I bought it a WM about a month ago. Oh well, still worth the $10.

Can someone elaborate on the conditions of their used DVDs?
Seeing as how they don't accept scratched DVDs from sellers, can I assume DVDs ordered will be scratch-free?
EDIT: hmm, then I run a web search and find this (it's one person's experience but it does factor in whether I should buy or not from secondspin. Yes, there are positive reviews for secondspin, but there's also negatives as well). It seems like a double standard. They require absolute mint condition, scratch free product from sellers but it's a hit or miss if you're the buyer.
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/SecondSpin
I recently placed an order with Secondspin.com, and was EXTREMELY UNHAPPY with the results.
5 of the 6 cd's I ordered were scratched and marred. Now according to their policy of what you can sell to them all "discs must be in good shape without scratches". But apparently they dont feel that they should follow their own guidelines.
Also the cd's were sent with no jewel cases even though again their buy policy states "US & Canadian customers MUST include jewel cases". Again they do not follow their own policy.
When I e-mailed them to express my dissatisfaction with the order, the response I got was as follows"
"All of the CDs that we sell are used. We guarantee them to play but we do
not guarantee them to be in "mint" or "near-mint" condition. Acceptable
amounts of wear and signs of use include but are not limited to light
scratches that do not effect the play of the CD, small drill-marks, saw
marks, and punched bar-codes. We also do not differentiate between
BMG/Music Club items and general issue albums."
Even though none of these "conditions" are available anywhere on their website.
So now if I decide I no longer want these cd's at some point, I won't be able to sell them to anyone because of the deplorable condition they are in.
I don't know if the positive reviews are from people that just got lucky or if they have no concers for quality. But since 5 of the 6 cd's I ordered were unnacceptable, it seems to be a consistant quality problem.
But I would say BUYER BEWARE! If you are looking for quality cd's, DO NOT shop at secondspin.com.

I just ordered a few DVDs from them using this code. Thanks for the heads up! I guess we'll see what kind of condition they're in when they arrive...

Do the DVDs always come with box / packaging? I'm tempted to order a few things but worried they will show up in a generic case.

well bought teen titans season 1 and 3 + roger and me for 20.36. Forgot to pick up the titans season last time they had a sale. The free shipping helps make it worth it. The tax thing is kinda lame though
