If you're quoting something, I don't know what it is. If you're implying I'm lost for selling my physical media, then millions of people must be lost too. Most of the world uses streaming. Millions buy digital films.[EXT. North East Western Australia]
# Blue sky, red earth. Heat waves shimmer. Goanna scatters in foreground (Lucas nod)
# Mustang convertible approaches from the distance. Approaches lonely soul, slowly staggering forward by the side of the Old Forum Road, just outside of town. Clothes tattered, looking like he was on the way to the headmasters office after a pitch black finger painting massacre - no woman would want him.
# Mustang slows, stopping next to the wanderer. The driver, pauses - cautious of what he might be getting himself into. Regardless, he offers a few words of support.

Just a quick update. If you think you're gonna make money buying and selling steelbooks, think again. I've sold popular titles like 4K Star Wars and 4K LOTR's lately and lost money on them all. The fees and postage really kill any chance of getting your money back. Like everything in life, there are no sure thing investments. Glad I'm stopping buying them while I'm only at a slight loss (in comparison to if I carried on collecting.) But trust me, I lost plenty on these.
That's where another of your mistakes lays, thinking that a popular franchise equates to an expensive steelbook.Just a quick update.

Well, I just sold multiple lots and lost money on them all, so I disagree. Fees and postage, plus the fact that everyone wants a bargain means a loss. Titles I sold were limited, like Star Wars and LOTR's. I do agree that this is a dead thread. It was before I came along and it is again now.Sometimes, yes. We've all had a dud resales in our time. Yet so many steels go for 2, 3+ times their original value via ebay BIN & auctions though, so overall I beg to differ bud.
We all have different experiences, but on the whole I rarely feel like I've short-changed myself by selling on unwanted steels due to upgrading or change of tastes etc..
I'm preaching to the converted here, but this is a dead subject now. Let it be. Anyone who's read the thread gets you're out of the game and have lost interest
We all have different experiences, that's yours, it isn't mine. That's the way of it unfortunately. Some steels hold their value, particularly older premium editions and titles that have perhaps only had one release, whilst others don't. Star wars particularly has been done to death, there's money to be lost there for sure.Well, I just sold multiple lots and lost money on them all, so I disagree.
