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.

That $22.50 was for the slipcase only, not the Steelbook. I got excited for a minute as well :)
 
Maybe the wrong thread but........We all know the UE version of this was limited and quite difficult to get over on the other site, although I did snag one, so, how has 1 person, over on Ebay, from Newcastle, managed to get hold of 10 copies? £129.99 each, 6 sold and 4 available! (donna29)

I'd assume they didn't get them through the GB over there, but direct from Blufans forum?

That's just ridiculous. :angry:
 
You will find more reputed sellers who are members here floating these copies. Frozen Kimchi was sold or has been listed by fellow ninjas. It could be their personal copy but I doubt it for obvious reasons.

Regarding Blufans, if you have some good contacts in China they can order on your behalf.
 
I got news for you...these are pre-orders.Anybody can put any number of copies for their listing.You have no idea if this seller will even have one copy.Thats what you get when you buy pre-ordered items.This seller also notes that the item will be dispatched on the 14th of MAY. :hilarious:Expect a few more negative feedbacks.

No, that's not news to me, I realise this is a pre order and that they have the date wrong!

Like others have mentioned, some serious resellers have built connections. Anyone with the funds and willingness to pay what's necessary, can do the same.

I didn't have any problem getting one and I waited for round two.

I didn't have any problem getting 1 either. Just the 1 though. The point being made is that this is a limited release and yet 10 collectors have missed out, or have to pay through the nose, because 10 copies have ended up with a UK seller on Ebay. I don't see how I could get 10 of these, other than flying to China and kissing some Blufan employees butt, and even then I doubt they would agree. :D
