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.

Kinda feel sorry for the guy. He must really need the money. If he's got all those quality steels he must know the going rate for them. The fact he needs a quick sale doesn't bode well.
 
I wonder who bought it? It be the seller with all separate listings of what the buyer paid for :hilarious: It was a good deal.
 
Is that HMV sticker photoshopped?

Got it off a current EBay auction... Does HMV resell steelbooks at collector market prices now? That price is insane for a retail store to charge a customer walking off the street! EEK!

And sold by HMV HK :thumbs: In a way, it's a nice pick up if you have already the UK release.
 
Dammit why didn't anyone post that bundle on price drop thread... I would have bought that bundle in a heartbeat for that price, finally would have got that iron man I want.
 
Wow, someone's eager. More than double the original price, too:

How do you even get 4 to sell? I thought blufans was strictly 1 per customer? Also, Kevin said in his GB thread on the other forum that it's releasing in June, not May. So not only is this Donna lying in her description but she's also violating eBay's presale policy by listing an item that isn't available for more than 30 days.

Oh well.
 
$85 at preorder and now this EEK!

@smileyx9 that seller is actually a member on this forum EEK! With those prices, we'll have to take a second mortgage out on our homes :ohno: I have to say though, that I have encountered several helpful ninjas on this forum. For every ridiculously inflated price I find, I am able to find two ninjas selling items at cost or less :thumbs:

I hope this isn't going to turn into a witchhunt EEK! But hopefully the member has/will reframe from the Frozen GB on the other site...
