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.

Well, it is sealed. That's not really that unheard of a price.

I suppose someone's just trying their luck to see if someone bites

This guy "kafi5050" has a guy bidding on every one of his items, he has 227 feedback, I think he's working with him to raise the prices to see if anyone will nervously outbid at the last second to get the most $

Kafia is devious seller. That IM he has selling is not mint. He sent me photographs close up and there is missing paintwork that I am sure if sellers knew would not bid so much so early. He wanted to sell it via Paypal for 650 euros lol. He tried to sell me a 'Like New' IM and then suddenly discovered the defects. Yeah right!

 

[VRob98]

Just to add that I bought a 'mint' rare and expensive steelbook from Kafi, only to find it had a huge dent right in the middle. It arrived polybagged so it was harder to see, but it was pretty obvious all the same. In fairness he accepted the return and issued a refund without quibble, but the other stuff I had from him at the same time wasn't in the best shape either. Personally I wouldn't bid on any of his items again.

 

[sunnyx]

Exactly, he is not HONEST with his listings. All three IM's that he had listed were all defected with OBVIOUS defects. Out of the three he only listed one with defects which was a sealed one.

Thanks for the heads up with this seller...Seems he is very economical with the true condition...Hands off with this seller in my book

 

[sunnyx]

Unfortunately he doesn't fall on the thread of 'bad traders/sellers' because he hasnt scammed anyone, just not honest. Buyers you have been warned

Welcome!
Your best way is by posting in the thread 'Steelbook "Current Prices/Value" help'.

$15 shouldn't go too much higher than that.

Probably he/she puts the wrong price. It should be $49.99
