I decided to purchase this product "New," with the guarantee that it was "factory sealed," and when the VHS arrived it was clear that the factory sealing was around a very used video. It not only had a "Sale $4.99" sticker on the slip cover, but it also had a "50 cent charge if not rewound" sticker directly on the video. Had I known I was getting a used video anyway I would have simply paid the lower price!
