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! :scat:

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

Transformers Trilogy Stickerbook went for over $100 .... deservedly so ... rare stickerbook and one of the few that look great.

Looks like someone had their undies on a little backwards when they set up that auction. First pic shows UK ed, second pic in description shows an Asian version...
 
Munstarz-yep, also possible, some people do all kinds of things, but the pic in the description is definitely not the UK Steel, so somebody got something mixed up-you would think they would 'want' to show the Taiwan Steel as the thumbnail pic when it comes up in searches, but who knows....
 
That does look fishy but his other steelbook auctions look normal at the moment (including Captain America and John Carter). So it may just be some "over zealous" bidders lol.

I won the Cap. America from this seller. Tracking shows it hasn't gone past the submission point, I sent a message inquiring about it and have yet to hear a reply 4 days later. Wondering if I will actually get this. :ohno:

EDIT: The tracking actually updated saying it has cleared customs so now I am not worried, and very excited to finally get Cap in my collection to complete my avengers set.

Same seller as the T4. The link is officially the most I have seen anyone ask for a steelbook!

Seller closed the deal off ebay so don't know what it finally went for, but that has to be the highest price yet asked for this one?
