To Buy P90X Workout DVDs On eBay Or Not
If you are a savvy internet shopper than you have probably found yourself comparing prices at a online retailer, getting the price and then heading over to eBay to see if you can save a couple dollars. I don't blame you, I do it to. What I wanted to do was tell you why not to "Buy P90X DVDs on eBay."
The P90X DVDs you are finding on eBay are frauds that are bought over in China and listed for sale. These replicas do not come with the nutrition plan, calendar, or fitness plan. Many of them are low quality and some are not even in English. There have been a number of reports where people have paid for P90X through their PayPal account and never got the DVD. It then became a hassle to get their money back.
Nobody who is affiliated with the Beachbody Company is allowed to sell the P90X DVDs on eBay, Amazon, or Craigslist. Those who do will be contacted by the legal team from Beachbody and have charges brought up against them. I recently talked to a guy who was buying the P90X DVDs from China and was listing them on eBay. He was contacted by Beachbody and told to stop or risk getting sued. They took it one step farther and contacted eBay and had his account suspended. He did not know he was doing anything wrong. Luckily for him I told him about the Beachbody Coach program.
I found a great video on YouTube from somebody who is a Beachbody Coach like I am describing what you need to look out for. The picture is not too good but he describes everything in detail.
This is the package you get P90X in from Beachbody. Not like the fraud you saw in the video above.
So now since you are a informed consumer you know that it makes sense to buy from the Beachbody Company. You can get everything you need to do P90X with like the pull up bar and resistance bands at the Beachbody Store.
If you really want to take the risk of buying a fraud or a inferior product I must say that you are missing out. If you think you are getting a great deal then you might as well take it one step farther and sign up for the Beachbody Club. Inside the club you track your workouts, get nutrition tips, and advice. You can try it out for 30 days and if you don't like it you can cancel and get a full refund while keeping a free cook book. You also get entered into daily cash prizes for up to $1,000 and an annual $250k prize. What a deal.
Back to the matter at hand. I can't make you not buy P90x on eBay or Amazon so here are a couple listings where you can compare them to the video above. I am sure you will see a couple of them right off the bat where they are not listing the nutrition guide, calendar, or fitness guide with them and the picture does not look like the one above. If the listings do look like the photo above just be careful. Its very easy to photo shop a picture and sell you something different.

I bought the 13-dvd set and all guides from ebay and worked out fine. Got them for $65 new.

I’m sure they worked fine. The problem is what you bought are pirated copies. Beachbody does not sell on eBay and does not allow its Beachbody Coaches to do so either.
So instead of the money going to Beachbody to develop more workout programs you now sent it to somebody who knows nothing about fitness or nutrition. In the long run it hurts the company and all of the people who like P90X and want more.
If you end up liking P90X I recommend becoming a Beachbody Coach like I did and telling people about it.

You can’t assume that all copies on Craigslist and Ebay are copies. While many are probably pirated copies, there are going to be legitimate people selling used products. I totally agree that pirating DVDs is wrong and we should not support people who do that. But there is nothing wrong with buying from someone who couldn’t keep up with the program and decided to sell it. That’s not illegal either.

You make a good point. The problem that usually happens is the pirated copies are listed as “New” and for cheaper then the used ones so people are going to buy the pirated ones because there’s no reason to buy used products for more. I tell everybody to buy P90X at the Beachbody Store so they know they are getting the real deal. If they don’t like it they can always return it for a full refund minus S&H. That gets me thinking. If people are buying the real deal from Beachbody to begin with and get a 90 day money back guarantee then why try to sell it on eBay or Craigslist at a loss?
