Because he's hoping you're a "sucker". Think about it. What reason would this guy have to *not* lie to you? Especially if he thinks he can get more money from you?
Kind of like this.

After looking at the real dragon ball, z, gt boxes from DBW, this guy is selling half bootleg. The Dragon ball box, and GT are original, All Z and movies are bootleg. I already have all Dragon ball from funimation dvds ( except first 13 episodes). I only want GT, so thats damn $220 I have to pay, btw is that fair amount of money or is there other places cheaper.

If it truly is an original Dragon Box, then I'd say 220 dollars is more than a fair price.

The bootleg I have matches the Japanese cover art, so be careful.
(As said before, I was tricked into thinking it was an official release; don't kill me!)

I've never heard of a bootlegger to go half-legit. As the blue-box bootlegs only covered Z, then what he has is probably just a good looking bootleg of GT.
It doesn't make sense to sell bootlegs among real stuff and vice-versa. If you're out to scam, why spend top dollar to legitimize the least popular product?

Mine has different disc art than featured, and is more yellow than the real box. That description match? 6-7 digipacks for dragonball? (I only have one, but I've seen others in MANY stores)
OK, front cover scan:

if the back would also help let me know!
