I hope somebody can help me here.

cheapodvd.com
dvdadvantage.com

Are both of these websites run by the same company? orders shipped by same company?

They are certainly using the same website design - more than that, I do not know. ~ GS

Something else: Neither is very cheap - at least for gay titles. As an example, Private's own on-line shop sells their gay title series, Private Man, at $29.95 per DVD. CheapoDVD and DVDAdvantage both list them at $37.99 per disc!

[soapbox]

Other sites are even worse in terms of pricing. Private indicates that the Private Man series has a MSRP of $39.95 whereas TLA Video has the Private Man series listed at $49.95 and discounted $39.99 - some discount!!! More than 33% above Private's selling price and essentially double the lowest price found elsewhere!

[/soapbox]

Having compared prices on DVDAdvantage and CheapoDVD for about 20 gay titles - including some that are often wildly discounted - I'd say that price data is coming from the same database. That doesn't mean that the same person/company is controlling the site. It could be a remarketing situation where someone gets a cut of the sales in turn for giving the core business additional exposure - the web equivalent of franchise sales.

Their e-mailings sure make it look like they're the same company (or at least the same building with two doors). I think the last couple I received from either of them were identical except for the company name.

I was playing around with adding a review on cheapodvd.com and got this message on the page

"This review becomes the property of DVD Advantage. DVD Advantage reserves the right to edit and/or disregard this review in its entirety. All reviews are subject to approval."

So, either they have merged or share web designers or technology or something.

How ironic that I mistyped Verisign today and ended up at www.verisighn.com.

Very strange.

I consider that practice to be extremely underhanded - enough so that I will no longer do business with the company - under either of its names.

I have given my email to several distributors to receive news of upcoming sales and specials.

But cheapodvd.com comes in unsolicited.

I don't appreciate that.

As a previous customer, I get dvdadvantage emails, but only very recently started getting cheapo's emails - and I have never given them my email address.

For what it is worth, I used to order from dvdadvantage and still receive their emails (at least one a week) but never have received one from cheapodvd. so far at least....

I have called both companies on the telephone and found the same person answering both numbers.
