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

Drive uk for £12 off eBay

I got this for £8 from someone who didn't know it's true value.

I found Zombieland steelbook in mint condition on a flea market in Germany for 7€.
The lady that was selling it wanted a 10er, but i managed to get a 3€ discount because the disc was scratched and she wasn't sure if it was still readable (it was).
I later sold it for a good price, but now I regret it a bit ...

Damn you! Had to go one better The thing is, I didn't know the true value of it at the time! Soooo glad I got it

2 comes to mind. In terms of moneywise, my biggest steal was Romeo & Juliet which was purchased for $99. Now this title is worth roughly X5 that. In terms of "like", I got 4 factory sealed Watchmens for $40 each. Now you can only have 1 for what I paid to get 4 only a year ago.

I got chatting to a woman at work and we were talking about the film, after it went OOP. She told me she bought it and didn't like the film. I said I'll buy it off you and we agreed the price. She was happy to get most of her outlay back. It was virtually new in terms of condition.

 

[SYKES]

I bought Fast and Furious 5 (Horizontal) for £6.99 and Adjustment Bureau for £5.99 a few weeks ago from Amazon UK. I know there not Rare but two very good films and in steelbook under £15.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Not really a Steelbook I guess, but got a mint copy of Terminator Salvation (Canadian Ironpack) off E-bay for €13.

€8.99 starting price for the item and €4 shipping. I couldn't believe nobody else bid on it. It wasn't listed as Steel/Metal casing or anything so maybe that helped. The seller was in France. To this day I don't know how I stumbled onto it. I guess it was meant to be!!

batman begins and the dark knight japan new/sealed $30 each from a fellow member on hi def a while ago when they were selling for crazy money on ebay and oos, cost less than what amazon.co.jp where charging each before postage, not going to mention his name , you know who you are, thanks for a great deal

Where do I start?

I bought the Captain America steelbook case with card for £1.42 with £3 delivery.
Thor was bought from Playtrader without card backing for only £15 - if anyone has a spare backing let me know.

Both these were bought just before they seemed to sky rocket. I was very pleased with my purchases at the time and even more so now.

Other buys include:
Iron Man 1 & 2 from Play.com for £10.99 each
The Raid for £14.99
Avatar UK edition for £10.99
A few traded steels from Canada and US too.

Oh and Inglorious Basterds embossed steel for €15 while on holiday this summer

Still chuffed with my T2 *** Steelbook for under £20, and the Drive HMV steelbook for £10.99

 

[snooloui]

I bought Thor HMV exclusive for £19 around May this year, just before it started to rocket in value. Didn't think it was great value at the time, but looking back I'm very glad I grabbed it when I did.
