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.

Yep, one of them is a member. We have a couple members here looking for a copy b/c they missed on the group buy. You would think someone with multiple copies would a help a ninja out? Obviously not, it's all about $$.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

I wonder if any of these eBayer sellers has joined the GB

 

[BigBlizz]

I thought it was 1 per member

Yep, it was 1 per member. 80 copies, 80 different participants...

This is expensive because all the initial hype which is standard of course. We will see if it does maintain its hype and value

 

[jitstark]

Taken prices are going up... £35 for an open one. I know it says new in the listing but in the description it's open:

Prince of Persia HMV Triple Play might be a little harder to find these days but I really don't think an open one is worth this much somehow...

I see the seller relisted it for $399.00
I guess his first sale went so well he increased the price.
I know this eBay member has to be a ninja. Wonder who it is?
Sure, makes me think about my copy.

Someone bought TED for 389 USD

It seems to be in the top three of koreans most expensive steels now...just a few days after release

Probably a rich collector that wants Asian steels

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. It's probably the same rich collector who bought Terminator Salvation exclusive Steelbook for over $1,000. It's true, some rich people rather buy an expensive Steelbook than wait for another copy to come along or bid against others.

Anyways, I expect the price to drop. Only b/c one wealthy collector is willing to spend exaggerant sums of money doesn't mean others will.
In the end, I'm glad I at least own a copy.
