In the early days of DVD, I imported many discs from the US. Most of their releases were Region 1, and wouldn't play in NZ players (Region 4). However some discs were Region 0, which played on all players in all regions. I had access to a website which listed all discs that were Region 0, and these were the ones that I imported to sell on Trade Me. It was a good way to fund my personal purchases, as DVD was expensive in the early days, and such a revelation compared to VHS/Beta Video players/recorders.

 

AFAIK TM have stopped that by requiring all content to have NZ classification.

"You may only list movies and games if they carry the correct New Zealand classification sticker. When listing such items, you must include in your listing the New Zealand classification rating and all information on the classification label. Additionally any photos you upload must prominently display the appropriate New Zealand classification rating."

Yes. They brought in that rule sometime after I had sold 100's of discs. Someone laid a complaint. But it was very good while it lasted. I only imported movies that weren't available in NZ at the time, so they usually sold within 24 hours of me listing them.
