That's what I was thinking. It's outrageous in terms of US/Canada pricing, but the eBay seller might be appealing to international buyers where the pricing matches up close to retail.
Exactly. Most of those ebay prices are not that much higher than what we have to pay over here. And it's difficult to buy the limited collections online over here, the popular stuff sells out very fast, sometimes in minutes or even seconds. And most people don't have to the time to stalk the sites all day so they are willing to pay some extra Euros if they can get their hands on those items.
I do buy MAC on eBay too, but the linked listing is really a little too pricey.

Solar Ray appears to be sold out on the Nordies site, although I can't recall whether or not I saw it on there earlier today. If it did sell out, I'm surprised it's the first one!!!

I live in Norway. Since I live in Oslo it's somewhat easier to get hold in MAC but I have to leave work to get to the MAC-store and even then I´m not sure to get my hands on what I want to buy.

Looks like a good haul! I Love Industrial Pearlglide! I just got Vanilla pigment a couple weeks ago, too. It's so multi-purpose! I'm obsessed with it :)
The text colors are very pretty btw lol so hypnotizing!
It did double! Woot! I'm almost tempted by Star Wonder *sigh* it just looks so pretty! I just doubt I would use it that much, since Blonde and Porcelain Pink seem to get the least amount of use.
I always love all the text colors available on here, a lot of times I just go with the usual pink cause I can't decide which color to use. A lot of the permanent stuff I've been wanting to get for a looooong time, so I finally gave in cause it's the last chance I'll get to spend that much money for a very long time, and I was able to get my Cut A Caper off of Nordies, YAY!

I havent seen it on there all day and I havent seen pleasureseeker either....maybe they are sold out due to pre-sales?

I dont understand why ANYBODY would pay ebay prices.
Mac is not available to everyone in every country. Sometimes ebay is the only place where one can get Mac, or a product that has been sold out, so it is good that there's that option. Besides, the prices may seem high for US people, but in many countries the retail prices are not that far away from ebay prices.

This collection is a skip for me, I don't see a single item I would be interested in enough to buy. I really hope Mac steps up their game.

Round two of my b-day haul! I actually love the mystery of what my swirls are going to look like hehe... Star Wonder msf Light Year msf Neo Nebula mes Magnetic Attraction mes 209 liner brush-I only have the SE version. Ive been planning on getting the full size for my fluidlines. Figured this was a good a time as any. You only turn 30 once :) And figured I'd throw in Dark Dare from ED. I've heard good things about it. Should be awesome for smokey eyes in the fall. I hope this is my final haul from this collection. I had Earthly mes in my cart too. But figured I'd be good and wait for the new electric cool shadows. But I have a feeling Earthly will nag at me until I give in lol

That's true, too! I've used eBay to buy the Sleek acid palette, which I know was for more than retail, but since Sleek isn't available here in the US and I wanted those neon bright shadows, cha-ching for that eBay seller lol

I understand that now after seeing several more posts. Those prices still seem crazy but its more understanble now.

I'm soooo tempted to get Star Wonder. I may as well order it, because I know I'll kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance!

I think so. Seems to be happening a lot lately. I was in the same boat with DD. But after I missed out on a bu of my hg nude (Restrict) I figured Id better snatch it up now :) but DD seems to be hanging around for a while now. So you should be safe.

Am I the only one waiting to swatch and purchase in store on Thursday? I have The Bay gift cards and a few B2M's, and want to use those up. Besides, I don't really believe in buying makeup un-swatched. I really really dislike that MAC has started releasing online so far ahead of the in-store release. By the time we get a chance to swatch in store, the popular items are already sold out online. The only plus side is that we already know what the hot items are - I know I need to get my butt to the store at lunch time on Thursday, to get my Venus and Star Wonder (assuming I like them in person, of course).

I don't get the chance at swatch at all. My mac counter told me they weren't getting this collection at all and werent getting anything new until cremesheen + pearl. I would have liked to see a couple things in person first but I dont have any regrets with any of my buys. Online was the only option for me.

I wish it wasn't so damn hot here right now. I want to just go ahead and order my pleasureseeker and meteoric, but i am just too afraid that pleasure seeker will melt. Does that nails code still work? If so I should go ahead and order meteoric and jsut go in and get pleasureseeker on launch day.

Aww you're too sweet! I was hoping that SW would be more of a highlighter, and akin to Perfect Topping but I'm really liking the warm pinky feeling it has with the gold mixed in with it!

I was really trying to be good and hold off and just get theBalm's Cabana Boy, but those darn swirls are mesmerizing! So I just used a Nord's giftcard I had from an in-store Toms shoe order that wasn't able to be fulfilled so I got 2 Star Wonders for $4.05 and I had the option for in-store pick-up yeahhh!
