Yeah it's up to you of course Gordy but you could get a refund either from the seller or from ebay (though that is a pain and you don't get the first £15 I believe) - you IMHO should report the auction to ebay to help protect other buyers (he has another two listed as we speak).

Yeah DD i'll definately be reporting it to Ebay regardless.
If I send the item back though then I doubt I would have the money refunded and the real deal in my hands before my mums Birthday. I'm gonna have to think on this.

yep - its a bootleg.
my friend has just worked in china for 1 1/2 years and got them all the time.
he got friends seasons 1-9 for £19 - they are perfect quality as they are ripped from the originals and actually pressed disc's (as opposed to dvdr's) and always come with quality labels and a nice box.

Bootleg, pirate, stolen = They are all illegal copies at the end of the day.
Depends on if you feel piracy is OK or not.
I recently wanted to buy the complete Roswell Series 1-3 for my fiancee.
Found them on EBay for a fair amount less than here in the UK.
Yes they were boxed and very professional look and feel however it soon became apparent what it was I'd be buying.
In the end I did purchase from an e-tailer in the UK.
Sure I paid more - a lot more, but I knew what I was getting was legitimate.

The only 10 series boxset i am aware of is in america. at $300
You can actually get the box itself (made of of wood) seperately for $20 if you live in the US and have purchased season 10 in R1 (there's a leaflet inside). I haven't seen one in this country like it nor in other regions. If it is indeed a Asian edition, check it is Region 3. Bootleg tends to be Region free or Region 0, Friends DVD has never been region free.
EDIT - 36 discs ??? I have the region one collection, all 10, it's 4 discs per season, even season 10 when there is only 18 episodes. Somewhere in that collection is 4 discs short of normal, you would think its uniform since 10 seasons, season 1-9 has identical number of episodes.

the discs are quite different, mine are single side dual layer with additional roughtly 3 mins extra per disc with commentaries. The UK version has none of this. I believe the UK version are dual side, single layer discs - flippers.

You can kind of tell that they are copies from the way he has worded the auction, including authentic soundtracks, clear picture quality etc.
But hey you live and learn
