I'm moving and have a lot of steelbooks to protect

Also, you can only get "scalped" if you buy off Ebay and/or someone from the forums that is reselling at Ebay values, of which I rarely (like... never) do either. When I first started collecting, I bought some steels from Ebay because they weren't available anywhere else and I wanted them, even at Ebay prices. But I think every collector goes through that phase for a bit when starting. Now I buy all my blu rays at cost from retailers, mostly with codes to reduce the price, and use Amazon UK whenever I can, because they chop 20% of the cost for US buyers by not charging the VAT.

Soooooo... um... no. Pretty much everything you put is incorrect.

You're right, you didn't say "all". What you said was

over 100 steelbooks, most of which

And something can't be valued at $50 if it's available RIGHT NOW for $20. The scalping comment was implying that you must have paid far over retail price to assume that it's worth far over retail price. That's the only logical explanation for your comment. But ultimately it's irrelevant if you paid 15 cents or 1 million dollars, who's going to value something higher than the generic retail cost right this second? But list me 10 that I can't get for less than $50 right now

So, yes, pretty much everything someone said was completely wrong. You would be mistaken about who it is, however.
