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.

Mirrors Edge for £330 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130671053...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

That's not surprising at all. I've seen a sealed copy of Mirror's Edge sell for $770 back when Rambo with dog tags sealed was listed at $450 and nobody was buying it.

 

[xMicheil]

Didn't know a sealed one went for that much, still, will be interesting to see what the other Mirrors Edge goes for after that.

You know what fries my bacon? When you sell someone a steelbook at a premium price, and they are now selling said steelbook about 1.5 months later for practically double.

Or when you trade someone at a collector's rate, then they flip it on ebay for profit as soon as they receive it. Yes that grinds my gears. Probably never going to get Public Enemies Steel, Thanks Biscuit.

I would never deal with that person again if I found out they did that with any of mine in a trade or sale.

My bad

Come on guys, these prices can be one-off... Iron Man Futureshop sold for $1000 before, but it doesn't mean it'll be $1000 all the time. The price is not stamp on stone. It goes up one week, down the next week. A Public Enemies futureshop brand new and sealed was sold $50 yesterday. I bought mine for $40 last week several weeks ago.

Yeah great job. Now my prices to buy these will be even higher

Yeah that annoys the hell out if me too lol, just when you thought that U actually might/just might have a shot at them (as if U R the only one watching them lol), BANG sm1 out there makes it public and shares the link with hundreds of other crazy collectors like U, now what's the chance of U winning that auction, nada

Thank U very much my fellow collector for revealing what I've been watching for the last two odd weeks or so lol

 

[SlimJim24]

I knew about that guys collection going up before it was listed on eBay.

 

[MayFlower]

buddy, I'm compiling a shiny bling bling list of steelbook. I'm waiting for some steelbook in the mail to finalize it. I hope we can keep the list updated.

Yep, that's why I don't post live-ebay auction links. I know there are people looking at them, the less people know, the better chance they get a decent price.

People who post live-auction links are NOT helping members... If you want to help, then PM the people looking for them in the wanted section.

People who post them have NO intention of bidding them and they just want to see it go higher since they already have a copy in their collection.

Very well said Chris. And I want to say that it is not the fault of any one of our members who helped others secure copies of steelbooks they are looking for. There is no way to know what each person's intentions are at the time of the purchase or request. However, like chip said, we do have the power to refrain from future transactions with such individuals.
