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.

When I asked the seller why they had more or less doubled the price, they said that because the others sold so well they contacted their "supplier" to get more, but they had to pay a higher price to get them. Since this has been OOP for a long time, I smell BS. Why not just admit you're doubling the price because you want more money?

It's quite simple really, these were easily under-priced to begin with (seller probably had little idea how sought after they'd be once the right people saw them), but once you see 50 odd sell within a matter of hours, you know you have a ''hot'' product. Makes perfect sense to try raise the price and have a bigger profit margin. If they sell then you're onto a winner, if not you just lower the price again. It's called business, and every retailer/business will do it, just that some hide it more than others.

I know that, my point is why not just admit it? I sometimes buy more than 1 copy of a product to sell on for profit, and I admit to doing so. Honesty goes a long way is all I am saying.

If you are referring to Socrates that was all discussed in the past and majority of the posts relating this are all deleted. Best to PM someone about it if you really wanna know

If it is?...someone needs to report the seller. Huge Rip-Off!!!

This is how the sticker should look unless they released a different version.

I can only laugh at listings like that. Both buyer and seller are going to get a nasty shock when they realise it has been delayed by four months (from June to October).
