I placed positive, because the seller was honest about it and said it was heavily scratched. The DVD would freeze up in places. I tried buffing it, but the scratches are just too deep. It was very well packaged, and came really fast. It was just a gamble that didn't pay off. But again I emphasize the seller was honest about it before I bought it. I give them an A+ for that. I ordered another copy that needs a case, so it sort of works out.
