Why don't you wack a few up for sale? I'll make an offer for moulon rouge, r &j, Transformers 2 and I'm sure others as well
This is the only one that poppped up for r&j: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROMEO-JULIE...VDs_DVDs_GL&hash=item1c1e21cc46#ht_500wt_1413
And this is the only one that pops up for moulon: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOULIN-ROUG...VDs_DVDs_GL&hash=item1c1e21d274#ht_500wt_1413
This is why i asked for pricing help and also i'm watching the one r & j that's actually up for auction.
Finding the value through an eBay search is a good way but not the best. I found a seller in the US that is selling steelbooks like crazy for $45 and up, the highest being Beauty and the Beast for $90. Yet there are sellers that struggle to sell for $35. So it's pretty much a matter of picking your price and listing it and see how it goes.
It also depends on how the seller lists the item.
A lot of collectors out there are aware that Beauty & the Beast is an ironpack and they won't pay a premium for it.
But if a seller puts steelbook in the title, then it possibly opens them up to a wider audience. That's also called "keyword spamming" and is against e-bays listing policy.
If you're chasing over the high price of what an item sold for, then there's no way you can replicate those conditions. People that were bidding against each other or whatever.
With buy it now, that's also a lot of impulse buying there too.
I would pick a value that you think is reasonable given what things have sold for, and put it up for a buy it now with best offer and also judge the market that way.
I think that the fees are pretty much the same either way on auction close now, so it's not like the seller saves anything by listing it as a bidding auction vs. buy it now. :movie:

Agreed. Some sellers are more successful than others. The seller I was referring to has sold mostly with buy it now. I noticed he basically doubles the price from the price from the stores. Eg. a steelbook from amazon for $19.99 he sells it for $45 + free shipping
Anyone have any idea how much Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Afterlife is going for. Someone has an ad selling them for $30.
$30 each or for all of them
i have seen walmart still carry a couple of the resident evil steels for $19.99
Just to order a single copy from Amazon Japan costs about $57 last time I checked.
I just bought one on ebay for 19.99 plus shipping. 25.99 shipped. I was the only bid, so it doesn't seem too in demand anymore.
