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.

You might think its a ripoff, but that is about the going rate on that item.

You might also think that $250 is a ripoff for Thor HMV, but I just sold one for that price today.

What a rip off i bet he or she is someone on this forum

I wonder what the 2d version is going for? I believe that's more rarer than the 3d steelbook.

I know who that hobbit listing from ebay belongs to and yes he is a member of the forum, and no it isn't Karl's!

Go on Chip, explain!

I know this is supposed to be an ultra low run (Zavvi I'm looking at you) - but it does seem odd that there is such a wide gap between the 2 auctions.

Surely one of the sellers is being naive ? Either by under pricing or by over pricing ?

The 2 that have sold were for around £120

What you guys think about this auction?

I wont auction any high caliber titles anymore. They end badly. BIN only for high value titles. That person in Korea will get burned. I sold 2 of these relatively pretty quickly. Estimates are of around 100-200 total released in Korea. I wouldn't dare do an auction on it. The last one I sold went for over $200. You cant compare a BIN to an auction. The person doing the auction has also sent me damaged items before and I don't know if others are willing to pay the price with that person.

 

[mnementh]

Is there a list of ebayers to avoid?

 

[vläd]

Dunno, seems a bit high to me....

Hi guys-this thread is to point out items with 'what you consider' high prices on Ebay. Attacking other members on this forum is not cool. If you don't wish to purchase from a certain seller because of price that is your prerogative, but please do not get into multi-page arguments here, please. Thanks for your help.

Warning to others - I've had to block mike2274 for being a waste of time.

why was he a waste of time?

 

[mnementh]

Started 'spamming' my buy it now autions with offers of 99p - it then would have been £1, then @1.01. If you don't like my auctions, or don't want to buy then, fine - just don't waste my time. I'm about to put a load more up and I can do without some idiot putting in 99p bids.

I see in the ebay policies thread, there are some more names to bloack - I've asked here before, is there a single list of names to either block or avoid ?

I would just set a threshold with offers that automatically decline to save the nuisance offers.

There is no list because the info we provide is our opinions and experiences. It does not necessarily mean they should be added to the block list but as warning for others to take into consideration.

You will have to go through all the pages and note them down as you go a long.

Folks, posts deleted. Please refrain from insulting members or engaging in any kind of personal attacks. Please reserve this thread for 'high prices'. Ebay policies can be discussed in the 'Ebay policies/discussion' thread here. Thanks.
