Collectors Edition $280 Should I?

[DoomGuy121093]

I’ve never bought a collectors edition of a game but I want this one. I waited too late and it’s sold out everywhere but there are already people on EBay selling it shipped on the day they get it. 

 

So should I:

 

A. pull the trigger and end up paying a total of $300 

B. Keep checking for someone to cancel their preorder 

C. If B fails hope I can somehow find one for closer to retail once it’s out. 

 

Thanks fellow Doomers - like I said I’m willing to pay a lot for this but don’t want to be a complete sucker.

Remember what happened to Fallout 76. Bethesda is STILL the publisher.

I had to look it up but that’s disappointing. At least they finally gave people their bags though... I feel like this one is going to be legit - the only thing that could be underwhelming is the material of the helmet and that’s a risk I’m willing to take at $199 but can’t decide on at $300

Most of the time there's still CE leftover months after release and it'll even go on sale for half price. I bought two of the Doom 2016 CE, one at launch and one a week later. They just "sell out" to build hype or something. Even my coveted Black Ops 3 Juggernaut fridge wasn't "sold out" up to a year after release lol. I found the Killzone 3 PS3 bundle at Kmart six months after it was sold out everywhere else. Patience can be frugal sometimes.

Thanks; I’ll hold off - I’m signed up for in stock alerts everywhere. 

 

I hate to reward the people who bought them up with the intention of turning a profit on eBay. 

 

Update: I happened to be refreshing Best Buy and it suddenly let me preorder. Not sure if it’s a glitch or I’ve actually got one.
