And that is exactly one of the reasons why I don't order from a third party when its a good deal, there maybe a reason to its attractive price.

Would of been better just to buy one open and mint that's what I did at least you know what your getting.

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

Received mine today from rarewaves. Mint and sealed.

 

[Wootball]

Sold mine as damaged for £45 - good result in the end.

£45 for a damaged Steelbook?? WTF?

There's one born every minute.

 

[Scarface]

My view is that 45 pounds is cheap even for a damaged steel. One has to consider the relative prices of steels. I read somewhere on HDN that IM FS had an issue size of 7,000. Despite that, its value is more than US$800. IM Play is as good (or not much worse) than IM FS and is more rare (issue size of 4,000 only) and yet it is only 10% of the value of IM FS.

Collectors may say that IM FS is so much better, blah blah blah .... but does it justify the price ie 10x?

Anyway, the movies IM3 and Thor 2 will be in the theaters this year and I think that prices of all IM and Thor steels can only go higher......

the fact that iron man futureshop was released over 4 years ago might have something to do with its high value not many for sale new/sealed on ebay, iron man play was only released last year and ebay is still full of listings for them , see how much its worth in 4 years when the supply has dried up and not after a few months

Personally i WOULD'NT PAY 45GBP for an open copy LET alone a DAMAGED ONE..
I agree with you buddy re-guards to the IRONMAN (FS) and(PLAY) COPY..
And as LUCKY as i am I have BOTH sitting side by side on a shelf..and ive noticed every time i go into that room the one that catches my eye first is the (PLAY) copy...BUT there was a hell of a differance in price..In the two.
And your right these will all get a hefty boost in value by end of next year..With the new releases of these movies
I think anyone sitting on these marvel titles to sell or trade are going to achieve a huge windfall by then..And if you don't have them you are going to need very deep pockets indeed.

Agreed Burragum

due to the limited print run , and the awsome Art work on the Play.com realease, I feel that , the damaged ones are not so important atm.. because plenty of new ones are still available !!

However, I will predict that IM Play, especially now that Play has gone a$$ over Ti# will increase in value much, much quicker !!

I think that within 12 months uou will be looking at sales inaccess of $150 per steel !! that is just a rough guestimate , It may well bring more , once all the scalpers stock piles have ran out

 

[urbeenjammin]

i'm comparing this to the Thor steels which had a much more higher print run since it was a worldwide release.this is actually selling at a higher rate than Thor when it was readily available like Iron Man presently and everyone knows how much Thor is selling these days.Iron Man is a very popular title and when the Play version is no longer in a mass quantity and easily found on ebay,it will easily escalate higher than where Thor is at currently.

I must have been lucky with my copy from Rarewaves.

 

[Wootball]

Sold mine as damaged for £45 - good result in the end.

Just before I sold the damaged copy, I emailed Rarewaves to let them know that the item was scratched upon delivery but I was happy to keep it because they were out of stock. To my surprise, this email just arrived in my inbox:

Hi there,

Thank you for your email. We can now confirm that we have issued you with a 20% refund and you should receive it within 24 hours.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we hope you are happy with the solution.

So I bought it for £32, sold it for £45, and got £6.40 back for the damage. Can't argue with that, it's funded my replacement (cheers sunnyx )
