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.

lol now that's funny! Gotta wonder what the buyers were thinking. I guess for £7.80 it's worth a gamble at the numerically titled steelbook game.
 
Hey ninjas,

I got a really good one to share. I was interested in The Bourne Trilogy Japan Steelbook, so, I sent the seller a message. I was hoping to bargain with him, BUT once he responded he JACKED UP the price. Seriously, how do you go from $180 to $490 EEK!, he actually replied ,"...be careful..." I am assuming he meant be careful with my money, because their is no way in h*** I'm going to purchase it. I can buy a holy grail instead, talk about greedy & selfish.

Edit: I replied, "Seriously -_-?, good luck finding a buyer." I just had to leave a classy reply :hilarious:.

It is an average price of about 42 pounds per steel. It may be a little high but is it far off the mark?

There's a lot of Final Destination 5 and Devils Doubles which could be picked up at for £5 and £6 recently so I think that it's a fair way off.

Personnally, I think the seller is doing a good job. He clearly states that the steel is damaged and shows great pictures showing the damage...

It's sellers that keep boosting the price up... such a shame...
