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.

First, the BIN price is outrageous. Secondly, I believe this is the pic I posted on HDN....

chanfm, it is the same picture. I recommend in future you upload your pictures as attachments so that they are stamped across the top and bottom with the "Uploaded @ HDN" brand. Obviously skilled folks can removed them easily but if you zoom into your pictures a little closer to remove spaces all around, the stamp might be close enough to discourage someone from using your pictures.

And that image is from one of our members here - incubali - whose name is clearly inscribed in the image. What has happened to integrity, respect and common sense of decency?

On a lighter side, he should also be chuffed that someone thinks its such a good picture to use for themselves ;)

Everytime I see somone using my photo I contact them and they take it down. It is against ebay policy to use somones photo without permission.
 
Truthfully i think alot of people here are hypocritical and duplicitous trying to find every excuse to accuse ebay of high prices then at the same time list there rare steels in there sales/trade treads based off the price of ebay, there might be a slight differentiation in prices but quite the same amount. In my humble opinion i think you allowed without scorn to sell you collectables for whatever you feel is adequate but there is no dignity in criticizing other that do the same. Maybe its competition or something close who knows.
