Buying Steelbooks from amazon

So many sellers have steelbooks listed very cheap. Is there any way to be sure they are actually selling the steelbooks they have listed?

What title are you looking for? DVD or Blu-ray?

Check their feedback. That is the only way to know.

The only bad thing I have seen in regards to steelbooks on Amazon marketplace, is there are no pictures of the actual product you are buying. And descriptions of condition can be subjective. Your "small light scratch" could be my "gouge across the entire back of the case".

Yeah, but I like to see pictures of what I am buying. Descriptions can be very subjective, as I previously stated. Like i said before: "Your "small light scratch" could be my "gouge across the entire back of the case". " Give me an actual picture of what I am buying.

^ and pics are what you can ask the seller for. imho, if you get no response or some boilerplate blah blah response, move on and look elsewhere. but if you can find an amazon seller who will assist you, you might end up with an excellent buy
