Just an FYI, I just found this and ordered one. $32.75 and free super saver shipping..I'm in regardless of whether it's sealed or not. The listing is for a "New" item though.

Somebody got bored sitting on it and lowered their price. The OP said he ordered it, so he likely got the only one that was listed at that price. Not sure why they would start a thread for a 1 item listing though when they purchased that 1 item.

When ordering like that from marketplace though, each listing is for a quantity of 1 item. So, that price was for a single copy that you had already purchased. The other 2 are still listed at the same prices as when there were 3 available.

You're confusing the marketplace with Amazon Warehouse. The Steelbook was sold by the latter, which is actually Amazon.com's own store for selling items that aren't perfect. They didn't lower or raise anything. And no there wasn't just 1 item in stock, there were 3 Steelbooks available like the op said, and they're just sold out now.

I have given up on steelbooks for this very reason. Why should some random person take most of my money for something that they payed quite little in comparison for? .. and if someone uses the word "business" they don't know what they are talking about.

I have just sold all 17 in my collection - all for original price or less. I have Batman Begins Best Buy & TDKR HMV - 2 for £25 if anyone is interested.

you stopped collecting steelbooks because other people sell them for more than they paid for them, so you countered them by selling yours for less than you paid for them?

good logic bro

If you sold your steelbooks, why are you here?..

But the Thor steelbook were not released in North America.
Why would Amazon's North American warehouse have one?

It was probably a marketplace seller, the OP can settle this.

Amazon do bring over imports from time to time, and they also tend to sell some products in the warehouse section that they've never sold at amazon.com (for example they're selling an E.T. Digibook) The description from the op sounds exactly like Amazon Warehouse, especially having multiple copies of the steelbook listed, not to mention the low price.

I shelled big bucks for my Thor steelbook, but its a beautiful one so it was totally worth it IMO.

Iron Man's steelbook though can sod off!
