this has nothing to do with emotions but simple facts , if kimchi would have limited this release to 1 copy per customer more people would have gotten the opportunity to add this to their collection , this is a fact and there's nothing wrong with saying that

At some point all copies will be in someone's collection.

True...But they'll have to fork over double or triple the price to get it. Depends how much the buyer really wants it. And sellers are surely going to jump the price near the $200 range or over. It just takes patience and the prices will drop...but it will take awhile though.

 

[TobinFrost]

Wait its release and I think the price will fall

 

[alvinhwang21]

nothing in life is fair... there shouldn't be a restriction of 1x of anything, ever. This is how corporate America is run, and its the same business practice that many other countries use.

Even if there was a more restricted order limit, people will still miss out ! No matter how you spin this, someone, somewhere will always be left out. Its facts and its life

You'r too cruel, why reveal the truth ?

 

[alvinhwang21]

because i've been in the same boat many many times and not just steelbooks... so ive learned to accept things and move on

But you're failing to see the bottom line that Kimchi have shifted all their stock (In record time I might add) and, I'm sure, are happy with their profit margins on that.

Their exclusives always sell well. If another is announced in a few months it will probably sell the same way.

As far as they can see, they're achieving what they set out to do. There is always someone else who will buy something that you will not. So at the end of the day, you're really only alienating yourself.

I think chip said it best when he said some peoples emotions are getting the better of them.

Having dealt with independent record stores as a collector for the last 30 years here in the UK shifting stock in that way is 100% not what most of these collectable companies want to see. Of course they want to sell what they have, but they wouldn't survive the market if half their stock was snapped up within minutes for sale on eBay, that's not good business for companies of this nature. It's fine for large chains like Amazon, HMV etc who sell in bulk. Small companies that offer very exclusive products should be careful or they definitely will loose business. Kimchi offered a very exclusive collectors product that was snapped up by eBay sellers in minutes to be sold at ridiculous prices, leaving many collectors empty handed, that leaves a VERY bitter taste to many and will see them loose business. Of course people expect a collectable to hopefully increase in rarity and value, but not within 1 hour of being launched. It was a bad move and won't be forgotten anytime soon.

US sellers I have noticed over the last 30 years are all about money, where as UK/European specialist are mainly about the collectable itself. There is pride to be had within the European networks and traders. There is no pride in shifting half your stock to eBay, just unhappy people who will take their business elsewhere.

Hardly failing to see the bottom line when I acknowledge the fact more than once in my post

The facts are that I want kimchidvd to produce this type of exclusive, I welcome it and think its great to have a company that is looking to do these type of special releases - the problem with this particular release is (IMO, of course) that it was badly handled and in doing so they have - in some cases - alienated and upset potential customers

The Thor stock would have sold in whichever way they would have sold it based on the title alone - I can't believe a seller in this market would be blind to that fact

And you're wrong when you say there's always someone else who will buy something that (I in this case) am not willing to - after all, Leon is still available

Damn dude that was so eloquent ... I completely agree. This is not about life being unfair blah blah or about how corporate America is run ( who gives a ****) . Why have any limits at all in that case . Just let a single ebay scumbag buy all 700 copies because after all thats all that matters and just let every collector then pay extortionate prices because in a way that would be more 'fair' ( according to corporate america bs).

[alvinhwang21]

ya ya ya and in a great "perfect world" us Americans didn't have to wake up at 3am or 4am to get an order in... you snooze, you loose get over yourself and stop being bitter.

How many damn copies are on ebay ? 1-5 copies atm ? its a 1k total print run which mean about 99% are still going to be in possession of collectors. Not everything that is rare and exclusive ends up solely on ebay. Hows your argument for those fellow ninjas who have these currently on their trade/sell treads ?

how was my initial post even remotely offensive ? Whether there is a order restriction or not, guess what ? People are still going to put these on ebay... OMG !

im not here to be mean or cause tension, i just dont appreciate when folks rag on americans when sellers all over the world put things up on ebay, hidef and bluray. Were not all about the money here just like you folks in the Uk. Show some respect when how many of your fellow american and canadian ninjas helped you guys around the world obtain the bb/fs thor exclusive ?

This thread is starting to become heated. Can we calm down and just talk about how good/bad this steel is!

Sorry but you couldnt be more incorrect here. Having this skyrocket in the eyes of collectors worldwide is EXCELLENT for Kimchidvd and worth its weight in gold. You dont understand business based on your comments here. I guarantee you right now Kimchi is not upset at all about their sold out releases becoming highly sought after.

Gotta disagree with you and agree with psychoscot. These days Steelbooks have sadly become about all about money and not about collecting.
Every single movie including including crap like Mars Attacks and Daredevil are getting releases. Just zavvi killing the market. I agree Kimchi's releases are solid quality, but I can't imagine they are happy seeing the product they sold for $50 RE-sell for $200 before its even released. They are not making a penny on the inflated value and collectors like us are left empty handed because I certainly am not going to pay $200 for a single movie.

How does this benefit the game? It only benefits greedy re-sellers who ordered copies to make a profit and not because they love the movie or artwork.

If steelbooks were all about making money then how come you are lucky to double your money on most steelbooks years after its release. There are plenty of better ways to invest your money.

If anything get mad at Kimchi. Kimchi dropped the ball on this one by only making a 1,000 copies and this is how grails are made.

 

[alvinhwang21]

let me ask a question then... if there was an order restriction of only 1x per edition, do you honestly still see this remaining in stock after 30 mins ?

marvel and disney titles are always hot commodities and thats my point, its going to sell out regardless of order restrictions. Ya people are selling these north of $150 but you forget what we have on this site... we have a community and you will find those collectors that are willing to help

Not only does it benefit the game... Its the driving fuel. If your theory here was correct.. the steelbook market would imploded in on itself years ago. many steelbooks have skyrocketed in perceived value over the years. and look where we are now.
