Mine also had thin sort of plastic covers over each DVD but it was bought from Nicolegr*t something and I paid $55. They look legit to me and were listed as used--forget the condition--and the box looked used but the DVDs are fine. Also I see the seller has a five star rating for over 900 sales.
Should I worry? |

My set from Amazon came with each disc in a plastic sleeves too. The set from Udaya did not have plastic sleeves on the discs.
Also, the set from Udaya comes in a sturdy box rather than just an outer sleeve. The little booklet and calendar from Udaya are definitely made of a sturdier higher quality paper in that I can open and close the calendar without it ripping, like the set from Amazon. And the discs from Udaya slide smoothly in and out of their slots, unlike the set from Amazon. Most importantly, the discs don't freeze or skip. If you read the feedback for Shoestring Bandit, there is a lady that posted her Ultimate Yogi set was fake too. Shortly after her feedback, Shoestring Bandit stopped selling on Amazon. Bootleggers are getting better at making things look authentic and if it wasn't for getting another set from Udaya, I never would have known.

Well, if mine is a bootlegged copy, it's a pretty impressive bootleg. My calendar and booklet are made of very sturdy paper. Is there something on the discs that would give me clue about the origins of the set? I can't remember if mine came with a box or not. I could have thrown it away. |

The biggest thing that stood out to me was the box. The set I got from Amazon came in an outer sleeve rather than a sturdy box. It was supposedly brand new and was completely sealed. When I took the seal off, all the discs were in little plastic sleeves inside the slots. The discs were extremely difficult to slide in and out without catching on the cardboard, even after nearly two months of using them, whereas the discs from Udaya slide smoothly in and out of their slots from day one.
The back of the discs from Amazon were printed "Ultimate Yogi" in two spots on the back plastic part of each disc. The discs from Udaya are printed and numbered "The Ultimate Yogi Disc 1", "The Ultimate Yogi Disc 2" etc. in only one spot on the back plastic part of each disc. Like I said, without comparing the two sets, I was completely fooled by the set from Amazon. Phyllis, I think if you purchased it used from someone with good feedback, it's probably legit.
