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.

I've reported all of the active listings on eBay. There's buying a spare or two and selling them on when they arrive (if you get a mint copy first time) and then there's taking the piss. I hope they all get removed and I hope they all get banned. Only one listing has a proper description, the rest are useless. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest are one guy using multiple accounts :rolleyes:

A little off topic, but wouldn't this thread be better off in the main forum? I hardly ever come here, I think it should be more prominent, maybe in the Chat section?
 
Do eBay take notice of the reports? I reported all of his auctions last week, yet every one of them are still up. They were quick enough to remove the Aladdin listings though.

I reported an Aladdin pre-order for sh*ts and giggles and it was gone the next day...
 
I think that, and as a rule I do not have an auction listing on ebay ending a week before end of a month due to paydays coming at the end of that month, just a theory, also my bad as I am one of the winners on the listings above, however I have asked Raj if he wants to not sell it if he can get more at a later date.
 
Yep as Gamesh says you win some you loose some. But I didn't expect they! Bloody ridiculous. But the trilogy steel from Play probably hasn't helped the value of these. Oh well!
