Limited Edition Movies can be collectible

Bought: $11.29 Sold: $133.72 Fees: $12.92 Profit: $109.51

I picked this up at VV for $10. It's a limited edition release of the movie Inception. It comes in a metal briefcase (copied off the one in the movie) with a metal top, and some postcards of characters in the movie. Now, as an avid movie collector myself, I'm aware that some of these limited releases are highly sought after. This one is, as they all are eventually, out of print and also very desirable going for around $100. I'm not too sure why considering there really isn't any added bonus except the large metal briefcase it comes in, but that must appeal to some. This sat on eBay for a while, not surprising considering the price for a movie, but a few weeks ago I got an email from someone in Belgium asking if I'd ship there and what the cost would be. I enabled shipping to Belgium as an option, but they never bought it. I never turned it off, and someone else in Belgium bought it. They paid $55 to ship this - almost half the cost of the item itself. This is my first international sale outside of the US, so I'd a bit worried that it won't get there or that the person is trying to scam me. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
