Agreed. The problem is people will buy premiums no matter what. I cannot track sales other than on eBay but sometimes the usual sellers sell stuff for insane amount of cash.
I wonder why. Are you a collector? Don't you know about GB's? Are you new to the collecting scene? Do premiums appeal you so much you're willing to start by investing huge amount on such editions? Did you wake up and suddenly felt the urge to buy an expensive premium? Or you just decided to collect a particular retailer and need to start from scratch?
I feel many people just missed the train and need to find what they "need" from (most of the time) scalpers.
From my personal point of view I just will never support such sales by dropping insane cash on a premium just because I miss it. Maybe if anyone did the same prices would drop.

Don’t forget that people are buying all kinds of worthless stuff all the time. Premium editions are not the worst option, believe me Check the prices for original Pokemon cards. Some people lay thousands of dollar per card.

Also remember that there's rare and there's popular. Sometimes a release is both, sometimes one or the other. This one is popular right now for sure, but it's not a particularly small print run for an exclusive premium. So over time, I think it'll be easier to get a copy of it, if you're willing to wait a year. There's also the potential 4K steelbook coming from Nova, and if that's a popular release, it may change the ebay prices for this one.

Aye. I used to collect Neo-Geo AES (the home version) cartridges. I paid eur 900 for a slightly sunfaded Metal Slug. Now it's worth 9x (ofc I've sold mine with little to no profit). /OT

This comes up after every release that's reasonably in demand. I can't wait for the tiptoeing that's yet to come once someone tells you who the seller is

1 was sold for that price, so I guess it’s a win- win for everyone. Manta got their money, seller got his money, ebay got its money in fees, USPS got their money in shipping, government got their money in sale and income tax and the customer got the product they wanted for the price they were obviously ok with. I don’t see a single problem here. Literally everybody won.
This is high school economics, very simple.

Nah, when someone buys multiple quantities with the sole purpose of reselling them, only the reseller wins. Especially when demand exceeds the quantity available. Not something that should be praised or normalized, especially on here.

Shall I let the cat out of the bag since I don't need to tiptoe

I am really starting to lose my patience waiting on this group buy shipping. Its been more than enough time for those who haven't paid to pay. This is my first group buy and its become a negative experience because of this. Is this how all group buys are run. I want an update soon.

I want mine too but stay away from group buys if speed is most important to you. You're trading convenience/security for immediacy. And, no, this isn't typical of group buys but Aniv was put in a ****** situation at no fault of their own. Chill.
