What was your biggest 'steal' Steelbook™-wise? (and yes the pun is intended)

[biscuitnoir]

Ok guys!

So we have threads for:

- which steel you're waiting for in the mail;

- the rarest steels and such;

- most expensive one.

I think we needed another thread where you can tell the world about the greatest deal you've had for a steel. Could be a rare one or a special promotion or an item found in a pawn shop, anything.

Alright, go nuts and amaze us with your deals so we can be all jealous of you

Ok my latest one: Halloween for 9 Euros, brand new sealed, 3 copies

So basically you paid for shipping.

Nope! A buddy of mine found them in a store in Germany. He picked up 5 copies, he's going to sell 2 to pay for the 5 and he'll send me the other 3. I'm not even paying the shipping, but I'm going to send something his way, it just seems fair.

I would think so. I envy you guys that can just go into a store and find these things. Living in the U.S. is not friendly for us steelbook collectors.

I have to pay full price on everything.

My best steal was either Wanted MM for 50€ or John Rambo Amazon.de edition for 100€ i think.

The fact that you have like 1,000 steels tells me you are either very loaded, very broke, or have received some "steals." Come on, your secret's safe with us!

I am definitely not loaded. Maybe once I get rid of half my steels.

My secret is easy. Steelbook collecting is like crack.

Could not agree more!

I'm just glad that 75% of the titles hold value or raise in value .... so once you learn the "game" you can cope with it all!
