Searching for availability of Nigel Kneale scripted videos I got this result for The Woman in Black
Read the feedback for the cheapest one....OK, caveat emptor but should Amazon even be listing this seller?
And the prices being asked by the other two sellers.......!!!!!!!!!

Don't bother buying anything "via" them, the wankers are even allowing the sale of Pink Floyd bootlegs on there, I ordered a memory card for a mates mobile phone for Christmas, got charged, then an e mail saying it was on itts way, paid ?5 for delivery... nothing, so I e mailed them, and the company said sorry it won't be in stock till after Christmas, so one swift e mail saying I'd inform my credit card company if they didn't refund me straight away, and took much pissing about to get the money back, total pisstakers

A check of the IMDB listing comments for The Woman In Black will show how difficult it is to obtain in the UK. Even so, the prices quoted are ridiculous.

Several copies being offered on ebay but some of them aren't the genuine article.

Studying the current offers on ebay very carefully it appears as if all the DVDs are pirated copies and I'm not even sure about the VHS ones.
Its not so much that I'm against buying illegal copies but what's the chances of them being duff anyway?
Interestingly there are 3 different covers on show.

Got my usual Amazon voucher for Xmas, arrived on Monday 18th so went straight in and ordered a few books. Came to over ?15 so although they did offer express delivery for an extra few quid, I went for the free delivery, parcel arrived Wednesday 20th all complete.
Been dealing with Amazon for years and have never had a problem, they have replaced a couple of items lost in the post and even refunded money when I ordered the same book twice.
I have in the past been looking for certain books and have only found them from an Amazon seller for silly money, eg ?99 for a ?3.99 paperback which is out of print. Didn't buy them and if no-one did the sellers would have to drop their prices to something more realistic. Every seller tries to get the most money for their product so do not blame them for trying.
