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.

Yes. People are dumb and shop on ebay instead of doing research. I've noticed some lego sets that I was interested in on ebay selling for 20-30$(sometimes more) than the listed price on Lego.com and it was still in stock at the .com..
 
That Super 8 is really bad. Feel sorry for whoever bought that. How do you report to eBay saying that its fake? How do you prove it?
 
Hopefully the buyers will realize the seller's steels are fake. I actually feel bad for the guy who dropped 521.52 USD.

Why such dumb people got so much money? DOH!!!

btw.

When i see the Le grand Bleu Auctions...I get ****ing mad!
1 steel for every order would be enough. So the game just ****ed up!
So many collectors be screwed up. Including me :(

It's age old story mate. Happens all the time with limited steels. As frustrating as it is don't get too worked up about it. You'll only go grey prematurely.
