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.

Why is this unbelievable?
I had mentioned a few times b4 to secure your copies or end up paying double
Very believeable when it comes to an outstanding Blufans title. Decent price since it's sold out and it'll probably go up when people realize how awesome it is
FYI, there are better deals on HDN trade forums for those who know

Yeah seems like a fair price to me too. On US ebay they haven't gone for less than $100. Actually two sold for $20....

plus $150 shipping

In one of the first release threads, I think it was Dracula Untold, there was a german shop where the first 5 Filmarena editions was offered. I bet its the same guy but I don't got the link from the website anymore.

edit: Just found it in the Maze Runner Thread, here , but there its sold out so maybe I'm wrong

Our very own @blu-steel's price are pretty absurd.


He had them listed at $159.95 for a while, but decided to up the price? Considering there have been copies sitting on eBay at $149.99 for months on end and nobody has purchased them yet...
I've been following most listings for these two. Whenever they are set to an auction, they usually end up $120 or below for the winning bid. So asking for $190 is just crazy.

Not to mention, he seems to be bidding on more releases of the same. Not sure if he's trying to obtain more copies to try and sell, or just trying to drive the prices up higher to make his seem more reasonable. Either way, dude, give some actual collector's a shot at getting missing pieces from their collection. Stop looking at these releasees as a personal source of income.

Not really interested in making friends with scalpers and resellers. I prefer honest collectors that want pieces for their own collections. I assumed HDN was a community of friendly people that help one another out. Not people that view limited blu ray's as a business model.
