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.

Hard to tell with so many reflections but I definitely would have asked the seller for more/better pics.

I asked & he said it was the lighting, then asked for more pics & he never replied. Wasn't going to pay that sort of money for it though, just curious.
 
i would say you need at least 100K in coverage EEK!

but 99% of insurance companies will never cover the cost of movies damaged or stolen.

more like 300K to insure his stock pile EEK!

Oh , my insurance Company has my steel covered aginst Theft, Fire and accidental Damage ;) , I had to list the Steelz that I have wat were worth a few bucks & that was it, If I make a claim , have to pay the excess of course , but I think it is a reasonable request for some of you guys with High $$$ steelz :drool:
 
it's the blu-banner that collectors are willing to pay premium money for...

I hope they start be consistent with releasing future steelbook with blu-banner as those are the ones fetching for a lot of money :D

i didn't know there was more than one version lol

typically i don't see this steelbook on ebay in the first place, wanted to give people a heads up if they were interested :)

there's only one version of Indy. I think what he's saying is that the newer steelbooks don't include the blu-ray banner - but that was a style that was popular when Indy and the like came out.

thanks for posting the link.
 
Just been in to CEX (Computer Exchange), folks in UK will be familiar with them, like a pawnbroker for electrical goods and DVD/Bluray. Some good deals, some bad. Like picked up Sucker Punch extended Triple edition £6, but they had open copy of Drive behind till with their sticker on it for £25. It was never that much in HMV.
 
I'm so going to be featured in this section very soon. I'm gonna put my copy of IM for sale, $1500, just for funsies, no best offer, fixed price, won't answer any sellers questions, take it or leave it :twisted:

I know it won't sell, but at least we'll have a good laugh for the price of a lousy eBay listing :joy:
 
You should. Who knows, it might be Bill Gate's son body guard buying it per his request :D$1500 is like a .10 cents to him :D
