This auction is for a lot of 30 DVDs (most of them are DVD box sets) of various British TV series in the mystery, crime and thriller genre.

These DVD sets are generally in good to very good condition, with some minor wear from handling.  See the photos and the list below for more information.  

Many of these DVDs I bought on eBay around 10 years ago.  For the sets that I bought on eBay, I have listed below how much I paid for them (including shipping costs), so that you have an idea of how much I myself had spent on acquiring them back then.   

The DVDs are in Region 1 format, which means that they will play in DVD players that are sold in the United States.
