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 prefer the Germany Potters myself.

How could you chip

 

[shdl83]

I prefer the books Despise the movies.

 

[blu-steel]

How could you chip

Because all 8 of the FS ones look the same.

 

[SlimJim24]

You broke my heart chip. You broke my heart!

I don't like the other ones because they don't look special. They look just like a regular DVD or blu ray cover.

 

[blu-steel]

No biggie. Its all personal opinion.

 

[DJHilalo]

based on recent vote, more people hate the banner. So..they might as well buy that steelbook and put a blu-ray disc in there... win/win ..they get a non-banner and a blu-ray discs inside

Shocking!!
I remember when I used to own the DVD steelbook of IM for something like £17, couple of years later I splashed £250 on top just for the G2 blu-banner if you really thing about it lol, what a nutter

I also like that the FS set seems to have a nice uniformity to it, the german ones like you said just look like a regular cover instead of a nice special uniformity to them. My only complaint is I wish they hadn't used images all from the last movie, you could have done the same thing with a character for each but like a young Harry instead of Deathly Hallows older Harry or Ron or Hermione.

I'm guessing it's a fake bidder or something, can't see anyone paying that much for Zombieland.

after that, perhaps we'll see a few more on ebay and find out if that's a realistic ending price or not

Here here!

I really really hope it's a fake bid, I really feel sorry for the person who bought it if they are genuine!!!

Sad sad times!

Does not fit well within the steelbook community!

It does if your selling one

 

[SlimJim24]

exactly, plus some people don't like losing, all it takes is two stubborn bidders to give the seller a very good day

i was mainly surprised that it had the loose disc and people still went that high!

 

[ozkanovic]

I really hope noone gets inspiration from this and values it at £150!

That would just be sad, very sad!

I can't really say I agree with what you said above. If you sold Iron Man for £300, you'd be happy. So why should this seller not be allowed to sell one of his steels?

 

[ozkanovic]

Yeah for sure, happy times for the seller!
He is laughing to the bank lol

Seller can do what he wants, it was an auction at the end of the day.

Why shouldn`t they if they are worth that
Thats the thing members on forums want rare steelbook for next to nothing

 

[roverite]

I still can't see it being a genuine bid. We shall see if it ends up getting relisted.

 

[ozkanovic]

The thing is I saw 2 zombielands sell for less than 80 in the past 5 days alone. That's why I am shocked.

i'm sure someone said this about iron man at some point, now look at it selling for $850 sealed... the sought after steels will continue to go up in price, there will always be outliers to the extreme one way or another

if it's low it's called a great deal, but there are also times when it goes way higher than it's perceived current value

thankfully we have a great community here that protects us from over paying for certain steels... others aren't so lucky
