If he bought 20 shouldn't it be 930?

If these flippers are expecting FN money, it may not happen. Too many being bought for that purpose, as compared to Fright Night. Ebay will be loaded with NOTLD for a while.

lol, something tells me that he didn't actually buy 20. the wording and smiley face at the end kind of gives it away.

I'm a flipper too, but I have my limits on what I want to spend and weight it against realistic resell prices. I've made a killing in RE steelbooks.

...Ordered one.. Let's see how it goes.. And how does everyone know how many are left? I don't see that on there.

That's just not a true statement at all. The world is literally littered with "limited collectibles" that people can't give away.

Limited means nothing if nobody wants it. There are NO absolutes in the collectible world... Collectors are a very fickle lot... and in MOST cases the surest way to ensure something doesn't have any long-term value? Label it as "limited edition"...

Twilight Time shouldn't allow pre-orders. They should only sell from release date on. I think that might even out the playing field. Think about it most people don't realize it right away and then by the time it's released it's gone. This way a review can go out and people can see if it really is worth the money. However, as long as TT sells their run I'm sure they don't care. They could also limit to like 3 copies per customer. Just some ideas.

Yeah they may have to wait a couple months until the initial sellers get rid of their stock at a lower price.

That doesn't really make any sense. People usually have an entire month to "realize" it's on sale before it's released. If they can't figure out it's on sale then, what makes you think they will once it's officially released? I can't imagine there are many people in that situation so I doubt it would even out any playing field. I should also point out that there hasn't been a single release that has sold out prior to its official release date. NOTLD90 looks like it could be the first.

If Twilight Time/SAE truly cared about evening out the playing field, then they'd limit orders to a max of 2 or 3 per account from the start, and not when quantities get low. I doubt anyone who's buying them for non-scalping reasons needs more than 3 copies, and even most of those who are scalping should be satisfied enough with 3.

This will indeed be true for a period of time, but remember, there's still only 3000 copies floating around. So after a month or two, the aftermarkets will dwindle in stock just like SAE currently is.

A similar thing happened with Journey. After SAE sold-out, they were only reselling for about 45-60 (The magnet added $10, believe it or not) But every copy that sells means one less on ebay, so eventually the average price started to rise as fewer copies were being listed. Now the cheapest one is $75, followed by $90 (At least for those who ship worldwide) And trust me, they do sell at those prices.

NOTLD will be no different. Although it will be amusing to see how low some of the auctions end at when the initial flood of copies get listed.

Since it is a limited edition, I highly doubt they send out screeners. You'd still have to wait for the reviewer to receive their copy and post a review, which would take a few days.

that's why you never do auction style without a price minimum built in.

You appear to be using auctions that are currently on sale, but that is definitely not an indication of what it sells for. The last few auctions that have sold for the title have all been $55 or less from what I can see, but feel free to link me to something I may have missed.
