What kind of movie files are on the drives?
The movie files on the external hard drives we offer are all common files, such as MKV, AVI and MP4. They play on all common computer media players. Some popular media players for computer are VLC and Elmedia.
Will the movies play on both PC and Mac?
Yes. However, the external drive will be formatted for PC, so while you can definitely play the movies on a Mac, you couldn't add anything to the contents of the drive from a Mac.
What exactly will arrive?
You'll receive your ordered brand-new external hard drive (only used to add the movies) full of the collection you wanted. The drive will either be a portable external which powers up when it is connected to your computer, or a larger one for more content that you have to plug into a wall outlet (plug included).
What are the sources and how's the quality?
The sources for the films can be from anywhere and everywhere, online, webrips, DVD or blu-ray rips, etc., all collected for you. We've happily done all the work in gathering the films! The quality is usually very nice, and sometimes of course if a film is especially rare or scarce, the quality may be less but even that can be good, giving a true grindhouse feel. Remember, a lot of these old adult films didn't use the greatest film or equipment if done on the cheap. But we feel it's better to include a scarce film with lesser quality than not include it at all. We found the best quality we can with every movie.
What payments do you accept?
Online payments are done by pay-pal. You can use credit cards or your own pay-pal account for payment. You are totally protected, you know how good Pay-Pal is.
Telephone?
There was a phone number available a while back, but frankly, too many crazy calls were coming in, and at all hours. Instead, email at theswanage@yahoo.com.
Why "The Swanage?"
Just having a little fun, because one of our favorite films is 1974's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, and in it, music mogul Swan (played by the awesome Paul Williams) has named his home/compound "The Swanage." If you haven't seen this incredible film yet, you must do so! Brian De Palma wrote and directed it.
Again, THE SWANAGE has been a trusted seller for over 30 years!

More info - every drive has an ID mark on it so we know it's for you, or from you if there's a problem. We do not offer refunds, but we will replace bad returned drives. But all are sent out tested first, while still new. In all these many years, we haven't sent out a single bad drive, but we're ready if there's a first time. Contact us with any problems - we have a great rep and will work with you.
The cost of every drive includes priority postage and insurance, and is shipped very safely. No lousy packing, guaranteed.
USA orders only, apologies for any inconvenience.
EBAY - these drives with such adult content are frowned upon by ebay, so they're aren't for sale there anymore (we sold many there in the past!). Ebay actually sells no adult films anyone, in any format. However, if you would like some ebay feedback for your purchase, we can arrange to put up a substitute item on ebay just for you, that you can buy at the drive price, and then simply send you the drive instead, and give you glowing ebay feedback.
Getting the most of your drive!
To get the very most of your drive, please remember that it is primarily a storage device. While you can run movies right off of it after you connect to your computer, we highly recommend you copy the movie/movies you want to watch to your computer first. Just drag and drop any movie into your computer. This way, you use the drive itself as little as possible.
That's good health for the drive! And again, you can also copy to a USB stick, and watch the movies off the USB stick through a USB port on your TV or DVD/Blu player. Keep in mind though, if you plan to watch on a TV, the bigger the TV, the more any flaws and imperfections in the film quality will show. What may look great on a computer screen or a regular-sized TV, may not look as great on a giant mega-sized screen. This is why we stress the drives are mainly for computer viewing.
