Mirage DVD

Okay, I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum, but what's up with the Mirage concert DVD being sold on Amazon? First of all, it's ridiculously expensive and obviously it's some kind of bootleg (note the Behind The Mask cover) but has anyone bought it? And more importantly, how is it possible to sell bootlegs on Amazon? Am I just naive?

.

Thanks!

I think it's only possible because he's in Brazil. I'm positive he couldn't get away with selling it in the U.S.
I've got it. The quality's okay, but NOT great. But, if you don't have it on VHS, it's the best thing available.
Why in the world, they released Tango, instead of Mirage, baffles me....

Yup. Baffles me to no end. Mirage is definitely better, but anyway, this guy is selling it at $45! If the quality is not stellar I might just stick with the VHS. A low grade quality DVD ain't worth $40+!

$45!!!!!!!!!!
Hell, I think I got mine for like $15, total! I can say a good thing about him, though. My first copy was having a skip or two on it, and he happily sent me another, without me even returning the first one.

That IS cool. I didn't notice if this guy was the same seller as yours, maybe it's a different person

. Well, whoever it is, I think they're trying to ream gullible holiday shoppers!
