The "OMG the price is high on Ebay, etc!!!" thread

[digitalbabe]

So, we have the "Fake" and "Steelbook Price Drop" thread, but we don't yet have the thread where you post listings with "crazy" prices for Steelbooks. If you see any, post them here and have fun debating. As per forum rules, please remain respectful with each other-one person's "high price", could be another's "deal of a lifetime" score. Enjoy!

Please keep discussion to Ebay and other retailers, not private sellers.

Completionists is a very powerful tool indeed that drives the prices. Does anyone on the forum or do you know anyone that owns every single FAC release? Would love to pictures of them all lined up on the shelf.

@carllenc has them all.

Paying for errors and incorrect packaging is daft.

$980 Jaws JP.

I remember buying this for £75 and selling it for around the same price. Quite a nice addition from Japan

It's that Thai seller that always seems to have at least 2 copies of all major kimchidvd releases

knew I recognised them but just wondering how they got/get it so far ahead of everyone else....

Yeah its a shame but at least its only 2 copies. Definitely seen 10+ copies of other releases from other sellers before. There prices normally aren't too ridiculous too. I can imagine £65 will be fairly low compared to what this release will fetch in a few months time

 

[sunnyx]

The seller doesn't need to go to a GB. The seller most probably secured their copy directly through their contacts and as it is secured can now list a price.

It's all about who you know, your contacts, and your links.

Nobody is going to buy them and pay them that though. That slip is off-center.

A little bit over optimistic I must say!

No way this will sell at cost price on the bay, guess I'll have to hope on the trilogies getting released shame

Already one sold for €81!

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/X-Men-3D-Xme...438619?hash=item2a701aea9b:g:OBEAAOSwgmJXzeVz

He's also sold a copy of Ted already for €167.66 and a Seventh Son for €160!

Could this guy have been in on the GB's?

(And who pays these ludicrous prices?)

 

[sunnyx]

Wow crazy prices! Thats good for people own it, meh@ the ones who dont!

Seems to be a temporary placeholder price. They had it up for 69 + shipping not long ago

This is Amazon UK not ebay - but this third party seller really has some stones.
I ended up paying $45 on ebay...
