Just bought mine on ebay... let's hope zavvi won't cancel the seller's order !!!

zavvi cancelled multiple Fright Night pre-orders

 

[Jocelin]

Maybe, but as far as there is no way for us to buy those, i am not getting any further in the process of obtaining one.
How much chances do i stand being at the right moment on the right place to buy my copy from zavvi when they will re-open the sales ?
i did not pay "too much" on ebay, yet it is still the double. but i do not want to take the risk to see this one going to crazy prices like the twilight release.
to be honest, at that time i bought one for myself, and when i saw like a year after that people were ready to pay 275$ for that, well i sold mine... i am no sclaper at all, that was never meant to happen.
but sometimes i just can't understand those silly prices, and even as a collector, there is some things that are really noth worth the price they are sold for.

I would be careful ordering these from ebay sellers as they might not be getting delivery of their orders from Zavvi especially those selling for high prices as in more than retail price and especially those sellers listed has having more than 1 for sale

Yeah i know...
well i took the risk, the thing is they are ALL selling for more than retail price for obvious reasons.
wait and see, and if it doesn't work, seller will cancel the deal on ebay, and i will hunt for another copy.

How does someone list on ebay something they haven't got yet?. I just don't get that.

 

[Jocelin]

this is exactly what scalpers does... By selling when Pre-orders are sold out, they target one collectors like me, who missed the Pre-order but really want to buy and are ready to pay more to be sure to get one.
If you wait for the release to re-sell, your chances of making lot of benefit is smaller.

I'll tell you a little story :

i missed the PA oldboy steelbook pre-order on day 1
the day of the preorder people were already selling on ebay.
i was stupid enought to buy one : 70$ instead of 47$ on the PA site
48h after, all editions were available again at PA. Of course the deal was already fulfilled, i had pay for the item on ebay, so i could not cancel the deal.
the steelbook were still available on the PA site until 2-3 days prior to the release. Then they went OOP for good.
5 days after release date, ebay seller sent me e-mail : sorry, PA messed up with my order, they sent me the design A & B, i cannot provide you with the design C you ordered.... deal cancelled, money refunded.
And there i was, for a month i could have bought it on the PA site, and at the end, what do i have : NOTHING
Had to buy another one on ebay. also for around 70$....

Why go buying on ebay when HDN members can help you also

Likely this will appear around or after the release date for ordering at Zavvi, keep following this thread, I missed out too, so I'm looking as well.

Why go buying on ebay when HDN members can help you also

I'm fairly new to this site ( i was a member for years of the same kind of community in France )
I saw there were some Group buy possibilities on some editions. But for fright night i was doubting somebody could help, since i saw many posts of people who missed it on the thread and no reply that looks like a solution.
