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.

Gulp! And the listings not even correct. Listed as Chinese when in fact this is Korean!

What's sad is I'm sure he knows the difference and is just trying to get more bidders as the China Version is harder to find.

No but it doesn't stop sellers trying to max eBay item profit.

There are 'realistic' prices, ebay prices, and heavily 'inflated' prices.

If you shop around and haggle a bit you can get a 'realistic' price.

If you can't find a haggle you get the ebay prices.

If there's no ebay prices around you have only one option but to get the 'inflated' price if you are that desperate

I know, it's in my watch list. Makes me think about selling to help pay for the mega amount of SBs coming out in the coming months. But, I am really looking forward to get my hands on a Bane white cover to go with the Korean & Japan SBs. Interested to see where this one lands.

Just be careful on the assumption of the high bid price, doesn't mean next time it will sell that high and always a good chance it is shill bidded to drive the price up.

Yeah, we've been seeing that allot lately. I'm not selling, just need to build up the funds for all the GBs & purchases coming up.

He has searched all of Western Canada. Must have personally visited all the FS stores in Western Canada. Can I call BULLSHIT on that?

I would normally back you up on this SHILL bid idea but it's the only one on Ebay and I keep hearing how hard it is to get one of these... I think its sad that people think like that right away of others! The Japan one sold for $192 today on ebay and the Korean one is even more rare than that! I hope you guys don't talk about my listing like this when I decide to list my Korean and Japan Batman set :tear:
