[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 9523742, member: 32303"] As with others I am used to this being one of a kind versions of items (dev versions, recalls, low volumes in specific regions, rare glitched versions...) but a super popular launch title... yeah I don't get it, even for a nice condition new in box title (I can understand them commanding a bit of premium for those that want a shiny collection but my estimate of said premium is probably a rounding error or less than the credit card charge, sales tax or similar compared to this). I will have to assume it is some kind of investment or laundering play. Some auctions do start from a max and fall from there (see Dutch auction for one style of them) but who would regulate it, why would anybody regulate it (who is really being hurt by this*?) and generally fiddling in the economy at that level is a bad plan -- there are billions of items, billions of needs (my glass of water is worth nothing really to you or I, dying man in a desert... well now. This usually appearing as something is worth what someone else is willing to pay), new things discovered, sources drying up, sources changing radically and all that is just the seconds you spent reading this... fiddling with things often has wildly unintended consequences further down the line (or everybody just starts a black market which is bad for everybody). *fine art and collectables fall under that... I am not going to say it is all money laundering as I am sure there is one person that likes the item and has serious cash to blow but could be, however when said money launderers are also high society and your biggest campaign donors then politicos care less.
