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.

Yeah, happens every time because either people are uninformed, and the 2 stores don't ship internationally...
 
I expect zero sales at that price. I also expect the bottom to fall out on this one. They still have other steelbooks in the series rotting on shelves at my local BB.
 
Chip, some people buy when the item is released out of 'panic', then they sit. There was some chatter about this one being more limited, and the listing is not on BB right now, which just add to the anxiety for some, so they feel they need to buy it 'just to be sure'. Long term availability will show itself eventually....

Best buy stopped selling the other 2 awhile back. Can't order online and everyone is reporting 5 copies or less, so far sounds limited maybe.
 
Can't be as limited as Sucker Punch SDCC.

Either way I will never purchase a Twilight steelbook out of principle. :D
 
I saw a perfect looking used new moon at my Hastings. 17.99 ; I didnt buy ... but what makes it a good deal is they offer buy 1 get 1 for $1 on used blu's. Plenty of new blu's used at 17.99-

I don't know how but my store had some copies so I picked one up for $14.99

Moulin Rouge wasn't sealed at all, but mint condition for that price too.

Yeah those are some crazy prices. At least they were all sealed. Only one of those I have that's sealed is ID4 with the error.
