Ebay and fake workout sets

I'm shopping for a couple Beach Body sets, and I see several Turbo Fire sets listed on Ebay for low starting bids, with short auction timeframes, and many of the sellers are selling many of the same set. Can anyone chime in on your opinion or experirnce with this? I am very hesitant to jump on what looks like a great deal, out of fear of fakes! Any help/advice much appreciated.

They are probably fakes, especially if they are selling several copies, and especially if they are starting at very low bids.

I won't buy any Beachbody or Cathe DVDs off ebay - so many people have been sold BB fakes on this forum. I bought some Cathe DVDs years ago off ebay, before I even knew there were bootlegs out there, and as soon as I found out, I checked mine out and sure enough they were fakes.

ah Mary... totalfitnessdvds.com I think you have to go to her Beachbody site for TurboJam, but it's linked on the first page of her site.

Mary is the owner of Total Fitness DVDs, she is also a Beachbody coach who sells BB products. This is her BB coach site: http://www.totalfitnessdvds.net/

Her main site is: http://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/default.asp

QVC is another legit seller of BB products: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/a....yah.M227-J710

Unfortunately, there's been quite a few VFers who have unknowingly bought pirated goods (thought were legit BB products) from ebay, craigslist & amazon market place sellers. The threads tagged w/ "bootlegs" are linked here (many are for BB products & TF): http://forum.videofitness.com/tags.php?tag=bootlegs

I bought a bootleg copy of Cathe's Pyramid Upper/Lower off ebay. I didn't know what to look for and didn't know it was a bootleg until I traded it to another vf-er who immediately recognized it. I was so embarassed. I won't buy anymore workouts on eBay.

Thanks everyone! I will steer way clear of Ebay. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!
