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.

You gotta remember folks, it's the holiday season. :cool:

My three rules.

1) People will overspend for a collectible item.
2) People that normally don't buy are looking for one for their favorite collector.
3) Things sell that you normally wouldn't expect to.

It's the most magical and exciting part of the year. :scat:

Disagree on the first point This is a wrong time to list in eBay as people don't have time and that much money to spend on SB@eBay. I have seen enough of this in the previous years. Experience speaks.;)

Just to let you know lgans the bid was genuine as I shipped the items today to the buyer.

I disagree about the bad time to list on ebay. I have gotten a TREMENDOUS amount of new clients during this period. Gotta spend money to make money.

I agree with Todd. Four years in a row, I have done most of my sales for the entire year in December.

Basically I squirreled away my extras that I got here or there and just brought them out this month. Impulse buys @ buy it now are the way to roll.

Of course, Todd and I are talking about the import starved USA market and you UK folks are rolling in limited play.com steel. :thumbs:

these people who are living in the Clouds with these Mental Asking prices are the same people who used to laugh at these people who ask these same ridiculous prices :hilarious:

They have no idea wat so ever what the current Market price is , so they just put some thing crazy high on it and if it sells ,, then Hey , hey , its party time , & If not , then they relist it :naughty:

I personally dont give a Monkeys A$$ who they are , or whether they are active on here still or not ;)

they still have a head full of cartoons & need a kick up the back side to sort thier prices out ;) or get tared with the same Stupid Stick As Socratese does :hilarious:
 
For somebody who doesn't care about this, you spend a whole lot of time bitching about it :hilarious:

Sorry mate, I know where you're coming from and you are right, but whoever buys these things for these prices deserves to be punished like this!!
