These sets are imported from HongKong. They are not R1s, like the ones sold in Best Buy/Fry's etc. Anyway, those stores rip you off on R1s. For instance, Half.com retail price for Gasaraki Box Set is $99.95 (or sth like that), Fry's sells it for $139.99. Witch Hunter Robin Limited Edition Box Set + Vol. 1, retail price, $49.98, Fry's sells it for $59.99.
These box sets from HK are normally ripped from the R1s anyway. Their picture quality, sound/subtitles, are generally similar to R1s, if not the same. Just read the reviews on those sets and if you like what you read, buy those sets by all means. Import animes from HK need not pay licensing/patent fees, hence they are much cheaper.
This place is generally for people who do not want to fork out hundreds/thousands of dollars buying R1s and those who want to try out the series first before deciding to spend loads of money buying sth which they've never seen before on R1s.
My R1 anime collection is worth more than $4k and I ordered another $1k worth 2 days ago. I bought all limited edition box sets and individual dvds to make them complete. I found this website 9 mths ago and helped me save tons of money without having to buy R1s just to test out whether I like the series enough to buy the whole set. This website offers better deals, if not the best, than other sellers who sell the same stuffs. Another merit abt this website is the seller is the best seller around. He's the only one I've never had any complaints about.
Hope this answers your question
