I view Disney in the same category as the P90X, Zumba Fitness, etc.
It is well-known that Disney does NOT often dioscount their products, ESPECIALLY the classic animation, because they don't have to. There will always be plenty of parents and grandparents that will buy Cinderella or Snow White for the kids and price is not that much of an issue for them.
So when Amazon sees a new seller trying to sell these anywhere near the wholesale cost (or below) they KNOW what is going on.
Not ALL DVD's are considered high-rsik. Only the highly counterfeited ones. Box sets, brand new releases and popular oldies like the Dinsey's are high-risk.
If you list a DVD of "Hello Dolly" that was released in 2003 for sale, I very much doubt they would even look at that listing, since it is not a known problem.
But I'm also sure that Amazon gets a TON of complaints about counterfeit Disney DVD's. When they look at this, probably most of them are coming from new sellers. They proably have an auto-cancel in place for any new seller listing certain titles - but that is just my theory, I cannot say I know that for a fact.
