The "OMG the price is high on Ebay, etc!!!" thread

[digitalbabe]

So, we have the "Fake" and "Steelbook Price Drop" thread, but we don't yet have the thread where you post listings with "crazy" prices for Steelbooks. If you see any, post them here and have fun debating. As per forum rules, please remain respectful with each other-one person's "high price", could be another's "deal of a lifetime" score. Enjoy!

Please keep discussion to Ebay and other retailers, not private sellers.

I'm not surprised really. The "smart" e-bay sellers will take an auction like that, drive the price up and hope that folks go over there to look at the outrageously overpriced steel.

Who know, while you're over looking at that, you might see what else he has to sell and buy something that's just a bit overpriced.

Errr ... he got to be kidding. I thought that he's mistyped it, then I thought about it and realised you don't have many steels at $19.99 either.

Do I win a prize for finding the most overpriced one of all?

This one takes the cake.

I would of thought gcnguy would be all over that Transformers steel!!!!

I already have it, paid $40 I think. Only have a couple of rare steels to go
It was also available in another package of 26 !!! steels including Iron man CA (mint opened) that got one bid and went for 501 USD, the seller would not ship overseas (have no idea why he is on one of the forums and didnt answer pm) so could not bid. The package was worth at least $800. Someone in USAn got the bargin of a lifetime.

Thoses are some crazy prices!!!! I would never pay more then $50 for a steelbook. Star trek and Transformers 2 are exceptions in my case.

 

[sengboy]

I just saw this one come up from the same seller! And it was mine! I know from where the price sticker is placed and also the wrapping. That one had the price under the wrapping which is why he has marked it out.
