I clicked on one of the links at the top of the forum and found this site with a bunch of DVDs for sale.

Are these good quality? If so, how come they are so much cheaper than I have seen?

A friend of mine bought a bunch of Star Trek DVD's from China last year on eBay, they were all copies, but look similar to this set, with decent packaging. I guess the one thing that tips this off is that there is no region on them. The picture quality is ok, but they dont have any extras. If you want just the epsiodes, then it is cheap enough.
Though if you're going to do that, I'd just torrent them. Save yourself some money till you can save up to get the real ones. I guess some things are too good to be true.
I wouldn't buy those. Many of these foreign sets are low quality knock-offs. Some are not even true DVD resolution.
Don't buy the DVDs from foreign places. Buy from the US only. It will save you a lot of hassle. Not that I've had that problem, but I'm sure there is one.
Just buy the real ones.

Wow...that's REALLY CHEAP. The entire set runs from $600-$800 bucks at other online stores. But I've seen TNG Single Seasons going for $50 bucks a piece at a brick and mortar Hastings Books and Music, close to where I live. I seriously doubt Hastings is selling illegal copies. I don't know squat about "dealsworld.com" (never heard of them) but right under the product they claim this:
"Although the sets are foreign manufactured, the sets are brand new, licensed, legal, factory made high quality DVDs. We do not tolerate or sell pirated or bootleg versions."
Who knows if it's true.
TNG season sets and TOS box sets dropped in price awhile ago to about $50 per season from the previous $100 per season. DS9, Voyager and Enterprise haven't dropped yet that I know of.
I've bought DVD's like that in the past and they are not very good quaility. Just my personal opinion but I think most of those are ripped from the originals and re-packaged. You can tell that the packaging on someone of them are re-scanned also.
