Wow, someone bought it! For that price they could have bought 1/8th of a Magical Chase box!

It doesn't matter what you have it's what you say. All these gouged items are selling hype with deception. Fortunately, they usually don't sell. The person who bought that overpriced "preorder" Insanity likely did not even know what the game is. Even if completed eBay searches only showed the regular game going for $30 or less, if this was the only they could find that was LE, then that means (to too many people) that it must be super rare.

How do you know that the person who bought it isn't in league with the seller to make it look like people are really paying these kind of prices?

We don't, but it wouldn't do the guy much good to pull such shenanigans.  Presuming he has just the one (I don't think Ark sold a pile of pre-sale copies to one person), he'd have to relist this one and hope that the sucker buyer doesn't notice it's the same one; seeing as it's numbered that doesn't seem likely to happen, though anyone dumb enough to pay $150 for a game you can still buy new...

We're sitting on 45,000$ basically.   How many unique signatures can we come up with?!

How do we know that your reseller witch hunts before you've even settled in isn't a ploy to raise yourself above suspician asap, so that you can score bigger than anyone?

I can't search this board by user location. I even tried my best Google-Fu to search this site with no luck.

I bet a mod or admin could do it.

If he didn't enter a location, I can't search him.

Of course, I was just throwing it out there as a possibility.
