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.

That's about the norm, these aren't making good money at the moment.

Okay I know I'm bumping an old topic, but I do think it's worth acknowledging a bit more.

The guy who paid a 1,000+ for Terminator Virgin is rich collector or schmuck (it's up to you).

This is what he paid:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Terminator-Salvation-Renaissance-VIRGIN-EXCLUSIVE-like-FNAC-Steelbook-Bluray-/330851322606?nma=true&si=imVH1jY%2BQ9YfPM%2Ff1yXumxd%2BiQE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

This is what it auctioned for before:http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330840191775&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:3160

I don't follow? Did the value skyrocket overnight?

EDIT: Did this actually happen?

The buyer has bought a lot of expensive steels in the past and certainly has a lot of funds to play with

 

[Steelknight47]

So a rich collector it is. Man, I wish I had thousands to spend.

Yep he is and from Germany. He was the first collector to pay over $1,000 for a steelbook. It was IM FS sold for $1035 in November 2011, first time a steelbook had gone over $1,000, before John Rambo toppled it with £1,020 instead.

The same buyer also paid $550 for T4 FNAC with sticker.

 

[Steelknight47]

Whoa, that right there is a hardcore collector.

To stay on topic here is an Iron Man Steelbook, the price is a bargain.

Looks like DVD Steelbooks are making a comeback.

Edit: I wonder if it's a coincidence, the listing ended right after this post went up.

Was this sold?

Terminator Virgin, yes, it sold for over $1,000 dollars.
Iron Man DVD, no, the guy relisted it for a starting bid of $80 dollars.

Are these prices normal? The Best Buy equivalent is much cheaper.

I seen them go for around £70 - £80 but these have really hit high. Of course Disney steels are never going to be re-printed

I might consider ebaying my set now if it fetches that well!

Ah I thought it was some other one that had slipped under the Hidef radar. The title added to the picture is not very helpful.

Which title(s) are you refering to? Steel that got under our radar?

Sorry meant to say 'some other version of TDKR'!!!!

Hidef never misses anything. The way the listing was worded I though it was a single Trilogy steel. That's why I was surprised I hadn't seen this!

I couldn't believe this when I saw it. Battlestar Galactica: The Plan (Steelbook) (Blu-ray) http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/...rs=s{steelbooks}+c{600}+&ob=3&urlrefer=search Weren't these going for about £7.
