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.

never seen that bottom front black slip before...

Oh, what is that

 

[roverite]

never seen that bottom front black slip before...

I didn't even notice that! I wonder how rare this one is then, if it's a legitimate item?

Me too my HMV one never had the bottom slip like that

 

[nickforall1987]

Me too my HMV one never had the bottom slip like that

maybe theres a difference in online order or store order? never seen one either mine didnt have it....

It could be a reseal job, as I think I've seen the little slip on other HMV exclusive titles, but the seal looks too tidy to be a reseal. Unless somebody from here won the auction, we may never know.

 

[sunnyx]

I think the reason it went low on bids is because no one seen that black slip before - suspicious

I got mine online but you would think they would all be the same

Yeah that's what had me wondering the seal looks too good to be resealed and if it is resealed then they did a bloody brilliant job

IMO there is only one answer for that question:

if nobody has seen this slip on CA before,it simply doesnt exist!

i know thats not an answer for every kind of question but i mean there is a HUGE number of HMV CAs sold on ebay or members who posted a pic of a copy they got recently and this slip was on none of these pics^^

Never seen that mini slip before on CA so it could be a reseal job. Having said that it looks pretty tidy.

On the listing; it didn't sell for a good price because there's no mention of "blu ray" in the title, steelbook has been separated with a space and it finished at 7:30 on a Saturday morning. Just a poor listing all round.

well mine were online...and all listings on ebay were without...never saw it in store to be honest....so i have no clue...just made an assumption...

its just part of the amazing spiderman hmv j-card cut down in size and stuck on the front of the steelbook, its not even under the shrink wrap its over it

 

[ash333]

A gentle reminder folks that this is a thread for high price on ebay items. Having said that, there are some pretty slick steelbook detectives amongst us so feel free to continue this line of questioning in the chat forum.

Sorry Ash. Had to be said.

Not really an OMG price but the price of Drive HMV seems to be reaching new levels.
