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.

It's not that surprising is it surely?? It's an IP which are no longer made and it's got custom artwork which you seldom see these days.

LOL, well you never know these days, but I do agree

At least they offer free econo shipping.

Several posts moved to the Ebay chat thread. A report and subsequent action by Ebay should technically only be made if a seller actually breaks a trading rule on that site-not as commentary on any of their selling activity, in and of itself. While the action of purchasing numerous copies and selling at higher-than-retail prices happens every minute on Ebay, this is more a 'moral' judgment. But it is also a free market-any seller can list items at any price on Ebay. A customer is always free not to purchase at that price. But a seller's listing should not be 'pulled' unless they truly are breaking an Ebay trading rule.
