It was a breakdown of my cost to date;
which shaped my Peerflix point of view.

I shipped each DVD with an $8.00 minimum new purchase cost;
used once. Paid to ship each of the three DVDs in protective cases; my choice.(Protective casing with the DVD is worthless)
Shipping cost approximate X3 at a $1.25 each.
For each order required a trip down to the main post office X4.
My family collects DVDs presently owning over 600 between us.
I was anointed to check out if it was a feasible using choice for us.
With no customer service; losing money on burned/damaged DVDs; it was not.

Initially I was looking for a way to contact a person at Peerflix.
I wondered who the company was and why a phone number was not given allowing customers the ability to talk to someone about any initial problematic issues: I researched for phone numbers and what I found I posted on your site for FYI of your readers; that the garbage posted.

An advertising promo site stated;
Demo Says As stated by Peerflix “Peerflix is a peer-to-peer online trading platform for physical goods or services. In its first application, Peerflix allows users to trade DVDs across a large, decentralized network, where each U.S. household serves as a distribution center. Peerflix carries no inventory and does not participate in the transaction: we simply optimize matches across people and products. We transfer our low overhead directly to customers by charging 99 cents for each trade we facilitate”
“Peerflix is at DEMO fall for its technology and its innovative business model. The Peerflix trading application — which the company has proved with its DVD trading service —is supported on the back end by a unique arbitrage and commerce platform. By splitting the front end from the back and turning it over to the open source community, Peerflix will spur other interesting trading applications — applications that tie into the proprietary Peerflix engine, allowing the company to create a new line of services business without creating every trading site itself. The Peerflix model answers the “how does open source make money” question brilliantly.”

Brad I am thrilled you have had luck with the company. You stated:
“As to the broken DVDs, I myself have received two broken DVDs and mailed them back to(absorbing mail fraud/broken cost) the fraud center, at a cost of a whole 37 cents each. WOW SO EXPENSIVE. After a short wait I was REFUNDED both my peerbux and my 99 cents for each title, and the DVDs were re-added to my wants list”I am sure they will do quite well if all Peerflix customers are as accepting.

My test the water experience with Peerflix with almost new DVD’S; terminated with no customer service response to in house emails; a damaged DVD; and an unusable peerbux credit; Peerflix Spam requesting me to purchase trading peerbux. I traded three once watched DVDs; I have a damaged one; a credit at Peerflix I am unable to use; and no customer service.
I am thrilled in your luck with Peerflix; but my family will not use them.

Over the long haul I suspect if the service I experienced is given to people aware of nickels and dimes and the initial hard money cost of their owned DVDs. Will elect not to participate in the Peerflix program.
Thank you Brad for allowing me to speak my mind.
