The "OMG the price is high on Ebay, etc!!!" thread

[digitalbabe]

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!

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

Exactly. All you need is a friend who is a member of BLUFANS forum based in China to be able to order as many copies as you want.

Since when was a normal version available? From where? Last I heard it got cancelled, as I had my name down for one on here.

Regardless of whether that release is a Blu Fans release or not, it still stinks. It's out and out scalping and I bet people wouldn't stand for it if it were tickets to their favourite game/final, concert, etc.

Unfortunately the likes of ticketstub et al prove that money sometimes is no object to what people will pay for gig tickets, thankfully the majority of steels can be purchased for a reasonable cost if you are patient enough or have something worthwhile to trade. Also, unlike gigs, steelbooks are not not based on a specific time on a specific date so are available all the time.....

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post..

Where is the origin of this steelbook? I've never seen it before.

It's not a steelbook, it's the chinese Thor digipack.

I don't suppose you are surprised, mate, right? How many copies were offered in the GB? How many copies are there in circulation? The difference in numbers between the latter and the former goes to people who know how to get them

Item 121122056715

Not only is the price ridiculous, but the description has an outright lie (only 100 produced with slipcover, normal steels would abound methinks)

Plus the array of terms the seller uses to attract views must be a violation of eBay policy, surely!?

Not surprised at all considering there's a whole load of Real Steel + coin on his sales as well.

I am just adding to the discussion that Craig was referring to the multiple copies that Urbeen has which is not the Blufans exclusive but he has them for sale as well.

This listing is so wrong on so many levels, but this made me chuckle:

For less intelligent persons and for those who ruin ebay with stupidity: I won`t include anything else out of the included items in description above - nothing else than those items which are on the listing picture! The steelbook holder plastic stand won`t be included. Please stay clear from bidding on my auctions if you don`t understand this!

Someone said Django Unchained FS will be most sought after Django.

I regret purchasing this and the target exclusive.

 

[sunnyx]

Thats a poor sale. Just shows in general steels are getting peanuts on bids. Too many releases the money is shared everywhere. Stick with one release is my advice these days.

Why? Because it's not the most sought after?

 

[lgans316]

Yes mainly due to the paint chip, lack of bossing and Region locking.

I understand what you're saying. However, my point was directed at his stock.
