You’d be surprised, almost any flea market/swap meet will still have bootleg DVDs and “PlayStation 2s” preloaded with a billion games.

Everyone can out a disk in a DVD player; sailing the high seas is much trickier.

Undercut the competition, mainly. People will do a lot of things for a decent discount.
