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.

Not a 1000 Euros. A thousand Pounds (even more!). I've heard that this one is a bit of a holy grail, but that price is friggin' ridiculous...

Three explanations to that:

1. Insanity or..
2. Rich people... like millionaires.. or it's a
3. Fake bidding, sellers bidding on their own items to raise the value of the steelbook, then they put up another listing of the same item for half of the price so people will think: "oooh that's a good price, bought!". I think there's a word for that.

Looks like fake bidding to me.

Definitely shill bidding

I love how the first bidder must have gone 'Yeah, I'm gonna bid £2. £2 should be good for it - no more than £2 for me'

 

[OxfordNick]

I have always wondered why people put in those low one-off initial bids. Perhaps they think that no one else will notice the listing?

This is definitely one of the shill bidders:

I don't trust that seller either. Saw this Summer more auctions from him, and more of those ghosts bidders.

 

[blumaster]

Definitely fake. The users driving up the price all have really low or no feedback.

 

[Sigill]

I see the Rambo finished at £1020! I will be interested to see whether the person actually pays for it!

 

[sunnyx]

lol the bidder with 0 feedbacks has 79 bid retractions!

 

[jimmy]

£1020 no way the winner is gonna pay lol

 

[stument]

£1020 no way the winner is gonna pay lol

Item will more land likely be re-listed today

Crazy....

 

[Frasr]

hmm the winning bidder has over 1000 positive feedback and seems to have a lot of money, looking at his recent purchases. I wonder if he'll actually pay?
