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

Captain america hmv
Iron man play
Iron man 2 play

All off the same seller £95 was a bit much as I wanted to pay though ;( but they are all new just minus the shrink wrapping but being new to the scene is a ***** as prices have sky rocketed maybe I should give up now

Struck a deal with a German ebayer today and it went TITS UP ;( was buying for £220 delivered.
Wanted MM EMBOSSED x3
Death race MM EMBOSSED x1
Rambo x2 one sealed one opened uncut
Machete x1
Halloween x1

The seller listed for me they were gone in 30 mins I put in my offer and someone else had offered more £250 obviously he accepted gutted now but some were only listed as very good anyway and at least I don't have the hassle reselling duplicate items.

The buyer and seller a probably on here ciao

Nothing to shout about but got grindhouse de sealed for 15 gbp and of course the amazon.ca black friday deals were pretty crazy too....

Mine involves Drive actually, got it brand new/sealed about 2 months ago for £25, which i thought was pretty decent.

this happened a few weeks ago...I was just looking at a place where there used to be a record store...and now there was a pawnshop...I suddenly had the urge to check it out and park...turns out they just opened for 1 1/2 weeks...got an opened copy of Angels and Demons for $5.00
ofcourse you can't seem like you're too eager when you see this...so pretend it was just so-so...

Last year I picked up Terminator Salvation Ironpak (Canada) on E-bay for €13.50 inc shipping. YES €13.50!!

The seller was based in France and had it starting at €8.00 plus €5.50 shipping. To my surprise no one else bid. It helped that he didn't have it listed as an Ironpak or Steelbook, I was very lucky to even come across it myself.

OK it was opened but in mint condition and one of my favourites in my collection now. Don't think I'll ever get as lucky for a bargain like that again.

Batman 1989 future shop, got it for £22 from ebay

I found that little beauty for $6.65 the other day in a second hand store
I found the Futureshop Watchmen SB for $12 in the same shop not too long ago.

 

[zerro0094]

Probably my AUS Gladiator metal slipcase. Picked it up for $25 at the Blockbuster I work at.

 

[bojee]

Traded Hunger Games D12 & mocking jay + snow white & the huntsman + cinderella BB case for Thor 3D DE, Captain America 3D DE, Blade trinity and Forrest gump DE steelbooks

 

[jayce20]

not bad @ all

 

[TheWorz]

I bought the Thor steelbook before i knew what steelbooks were. More a stroke of luck than a bargain but still.

$6 bud? Wow nice, bet you were over the moon

 

[zerro0094]

Received a FREE copy of AUS "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "This is it" (Case only) From my video store, as they just needed the discs, and couldn't lock the steelbooks.

 

[bigfub]

I'm happy, just picked up a sealed copy of Terminator Salvation UK for £15

 

[Wootball]

I've just checked my Play account - apparently they refunded my Terminator steelbook when I sent a question asking when delivery was likely to be. So yeah, it looks like I got Terminator Play.com for free.

 

[ainsleyb]

The Sweeney Todd i bought an ebay came with a dent and a few scratches so the seller refunded me in full. I guess getting something for free is what you might call a bit of a steel.

 

[Earl Nuce]

I managed to get a nice bundle containing; Taken, Super 8, Avengers Assemble, The Hurt Locker, and Battle Royale for £60. Not too bad considering the price that Taken can go for on its own.

2 Pirates of the Caribbean CA Steelbooks for 25 Euro each, couldn't believe how lucky I was The second one would be the Sleeping Beauty Steelbook for 30 Euro and it was still sealed
