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.

No idea what your on about....

Edit: I take it your not complaining about SBD as he did bid £90.50 on your CA steel which you gladly welcomed didn't you

CA UK

of course not because he also bought my JR at 46.50 and he PAID !!!

I like to wonder how long these Jack Reacher's £100 + steels would last. I remember Batman Begins Japan went for over $500 and upto $600 + at one point.

Then everyone flooded the ebay market with them and the value came tumbling down. Now they are worth £100 - £150 tops ($150 -$225)

So the Thor signed by Stan Lee sold for £246, is his signature really worth over £150?

 

[thegreat]

I bidded to around a ton that was all I was prepared to go

I went to £200 and considered going higher but it's just not worth so much more for his signature IMO.

To some collectors they are Many marvel and Stan Lee fans. It just shows the strength marvel steels have in their value.

Imagine an IM1 FS signed by Stan Lee and Robert Downey Junior

 

[nickforall1987]

a signature on a still its both a being at the right place the right time....as well as knowledge when this signature get together things are made....(unless of course you have a connection to get it off scene)....so a signed steel even opened should go IMO more than double the price of a sealed...

of course opinions vary on this...

Indeed, first one sold for over $1000 and the buyer is a member of this forum so that is extra confirmation!

The buyer is a member? I know the seller is a member here, but didn't realize the buyer was too.
These stickers and slips are becoming more serious as time goes by, money wise of course.

I know buddy, quite rediculous in my opinion but quite amazing as well

The new generation of steels have moved on from where Future Shop vs Germany owned most of the big releases.

Now this has moved to being slips and stickers which are increasing becoming more popular.

Just to assuage any doubts about the legitimacy of the Jack Reacher UK sales, I sold my 2 copies for £110 BIN (each) and both buyers have paid. Obviously I could've got more for them, they go from anywhere between £100-£165 atm but I wanted quick sales and both sold within a few hours of them going up for sale.
