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.

If you think that is expensive have a look at this one then for CA TW sold for $450

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330777598...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1183

That is insane!! Buyer has very high feedback so it would be a legitimate transaction!

How much will the German CA be worth do you think. That Steelbook must be one of few not to get a pricedroop at Ama.de..

My feeling is that it is legitimate. It is very difficult to find this item.

Hi all, just a friendly reminder-please do not post your own Ebay auctions, they will be deleted if suspected and verified that you are self-promoting. Thanks!

[waccy]

[gaeljet]

that havent even been released yet..

never understood the supposed "issue" of selling items not yet released

it s the same principle as in the GB for example

even if it turned out the seller/ GB host couldn''t finally deliver, he refunds the people, no big deal

i think the issue is that ebay protection is only good for 30 days or so

the danger of pre-ordering on ebay is that if the seller decides not to ship the item and keep the money, the buyer would have no protection if it is after 30 days
