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.

I thought the Chinese version was a metalpak?
The JP version is way nicer imo

I think the steelbook is the nicer of the three. There is a metalpak and a IP of this as well. The IP is way more rare and more spendy. The metalpak is very bad.

So the thai one is the bad metalpak, jp is the steel, and China is the ip?

Japanese steelbooks are king of the hill of all steelbooks! Their packaging is also top notch and we will see more proof of that in 2 weeks!

Japanese DVD's were the biz back before the HD wars began. It was the foundation of The Import Forums

That's crazy. It usually goes for much less than that.

I think that was probably a case of 2 bidders who just weren't prepared to lose out. The dream of every eBay seller lol!

mg: Where does this end

 

[VRob98]

Maybe some of you guys with really nice collections need to start thinking how much you have them insured for!

 

[xMicheil]

Wasn't sure where to post this but this looks slightly damaged to you?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260966334088#ht_500wt_1413

There seems to be some spots on the left side of the steel?

 

[VRob98]

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