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.

Unbelievable, the Batman Begins JPN and TDK JPN that was listed for $750 Best offer sold for $625.

To everyone who has doubts about the bids and sale prices (who wouldn't?) there has now been an increase of price sold before shipping.

- BB Korean, $427
- BB Jpn, $510
- BB Jpn + TDK Jpn, $625 - a record high even if TDK was bundled together.

I am really tempted to sell mine as a bundle too! With US$625, I can pick up 6-7 second-tier rare steels on my want list!
 
best way from 0.99 cents, good luck on your auction, I'm sure you make some profit to be happy with :)

Thanks. I was really bummed when I found the scratch. I was going to combine with TDK, but I felt I would just be giving it away since it is still available. I could have been very wrong in that thought process. :wtf:

It all depends who is buying it :). The only thing I sugguest is allowing the bidders from worldwide as I believe you will get a better sale, and only send tracked so you should have no problems should the buyer dispute :).

I tend to find that the highest bidders are mostly from a different country than the country the seller is from.

Yeah, they are asking. I have just been burned before with this. If something goes wrong, it cost to much to have it returned. :(

Well nothing should go wrong if you done everything right? Just make sure its a bullet proof package! IMO you are gonna lose a lot of potential value mate. You should judge each sale on its own merits :)

I was watching that waiting to bid but then price just escaped me. Sealed mint versions of these are difficult to source and they seldom appear on eBay especially on auction.

Well actually the two sellers that have it for 90 EUR are both new sellers with little or no feedback. I think the vast majority of people would always prefer to purchase from sellers with a decent amount of feedback, especially when a high price is involved.

Another seller with excellent feedback has it for sale for 120 EUR (plus shipping to the UK), which is approx £93.
 
I don't understand you guys. Why buy a trilogy when a quadrilogy is already released and you know a 5th movie is on the works :wtf:

Stick to individual steels in my opinion, unless you're 100% sure a sequel won't be released! (Like Back to the Future for example).
