Verbatim +R DL for under AUD$5/disc ?

[guns1inger]

Looking for reputable and reliable outlets, preferably in Victoria, for buying Verbatim +R DL discs for under $5 per disc. The best I can find at the moment is an outrageous AUD$5.50 each. At that price it just isn't worth it. Any Aussies buying these discs for reasonable prices ?

Could check out eBay, I picked up 2/20 packs of +R DL (verbatim) for $12.15 each on a dutch auction that's USD plus postage from the US. Total I think was about $84 odd AUS dollars.

They arrived yesterday, are made in India haven't tried them yet. Worked out about $2.10 each disk.

I think there is a guy in Canada selling on eBay, think he wants something like AU$50 +AU16 shipping to Australia for a 20 pack.

Go to ebay.com.au > Verbatim DVD+R DL > see whats listed.

are made in India

There is a post around here about the Indian produced Verbatims. The verdict seems to be that they are crap, and on par with pretty much any other DL disc except Singapore manufactured Verbatims. Hopefully you have more luck with them.

I am loathe to buy anything like this from eBay, as I have had a few DVD purchases prove to be less than what was advertised in the past. I want to be able to pick up the discs, look at the labels, and know I am getting what I paid for.

We are getting royally screwed over here. Our dollar goes up, but the price of these things doesn't come down. DL discs have been at this price for over a year now.

Is your dollar really "going up" or is it just staying the same while the $USD goes to pot?

[guns1inger]

Wee bit of both, but you are right that it is mostly at the expense of the USD

According to XE, $1CAD = $1.13AUS, so yeah, screwed. Last time DL +R Verbatim were on sale at Futureshop (Canada) they were $19.95CAD or $29.95CAD per 20 pack. These are 6X and Made In Singapore. No failed burns on the many that I have used....

That's the guy I got mine from, shipping for the above auction to Australia is $37.99US.

So it works out at about $2.25US per disc. Still cheaper than you can buy them in Aus!

Probably worth asking where they are made.
