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.

What about those? (when you know that they sell 5$ each!)
#1 & #2

These better be super pristine with no rips, folds or even smudges on the shrink-wrap, let alone a mint steelbook. But you know what they say, there's a sucker born every second. I know, I was one when I started - paid US$50 for SDCC Sucker Punch when WBshop.com was selling it for US$25 with free shipping.

SDCC goes for 150 to 280 USD now so that pretty much exempts the being a sucker notion.

How much is that journal worth? Anyway, I think the world of this steel and I think it has been grossly undervalued for a long time. So....it is about time the price came up.

 

[prodigy1985]

a guy I meant in real life actually buys steels from Socrates. I LOL'd pretty hard and congratulated him for being a sucker.

I must admit that is a ridiculous price. Socrates had the audacity to say that he dosent even make the money back on his steels.

Does anyone remember that Thor that was sold for £120+ in the UK? lol the seller relisted it, looks like the buyer didnt pay that price or a bad attempt on shill bidding failed

Same exact one i remember having 3 Watchmen Steelbooks that came with the Journal and they are the exact same as the one in the link. Those went out to my Compadre gcnguy

RE Degeneration is not sold in Quebec, no french, so you'd be short at least 1

And socrates buys em from me.

Traitor!

Mehdi, is this the same journal?

Yup that's the exact same one I was sold for $2 not that long ago in China

Yeah lets just see if the buyer actually pays lol

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

That Rambo DOES look good...Very, very rare mint/sealed with the original stickers

 

[prodigy1985]

I dont get why bidders tend to dig there own graves. If they would stop jacking up the price so early in the auction they could pay alot less.

How do you know it isn't a shill bidder jacking the prices up?

think they mean in general, i agree i never see why people bid on items at the start of an auction. I always bid in last 10 seconds lol :sniper:
