Just wait a few months and they’ll be available on eBay for £50 or less.
Everybody is panic buying - calm down. The current exorbitant prices are due to demand.
People will be selling their own copies to help pay the mortgage pretty soon. A worldwide recession beckons.
As for profiteering, that’s how business is done. How much are you willing to spend? How bad do you want it? Nobody is pointing a gun at your head after all.

That Intense Records copy may well be a bargain... i doubt any of the sites had any at 6pm tbh. Interestingly though there arent loads on eBay which infers either that they went to people who wanted them, which is great or there werent even 600.

And there were more than 600 copies of that one...

Some of these things just seem not to go down that much later.

They are not that expensive are they? Most of the Thanksgiving lp's I see on Ebay go for a maximum of USD 40 (excluding postage).
As The Lights Go Down was a release that also appealed to non-fans as it concerned the period most people love DD for. You really noticed that not just the DD fans were after that one. The Budokan one was easily available and appealed only to fans so that one can be still found rather cheap.

Interestingly though there arent loads on eBay which infers either that they went to people who wanted them, which is great or there werent even 600. As they were my first ports of call, i know that Rough Trade still had 6 copies at 6pm - but they were overwhelmed & so it was impossible to actually buy them... ...& Banquet Records also had an unknown number - but again it was endless refreshing due to bandwidth issues & then they'd all gone. There were a load of other UK sites i then tried over the next hour-ish where i've no idea what the stock was at 6pm as everywhere was then sold out - i kept looking after 6.24pm, when i (hopefully) picked up the last one up from intense Records as, if i had found an others & ended up with more, i knew that other people needed it.
Likewise HHV in Germany still had an unknown number - as i got as far as being able to add one into the cart at almost exactly 11pm UK time last night (midnight local time of course) before their site was also overwhelmed &, by the time i got back on, it had sold out.
[Edit]
&, whilst i'm pretty certain that there won't be copies for sale for less than £45 any time soon, it was simply that everywhere else was selling it for somewhere around the £24-27 mark + postage...
...where the 2nd highest (sold out) place was £30... ...so, at £40 + p&p, there was £10-15 of profiteering vs the standard retail price.

I think we may not see this release reasonably priced on eBay: unlike previous releases people are paying the inflated prices, probably due to the very limited numbers in the release compared to previous releases. Supply and demand in this case does favour the scalpers unfortunately.
I live in a remote part of the UK and only one shop opened at 8am (another opened at 9am to bookings only, and another opened randomly mid afternoon after saying they were going to be online only for RSD ), but yet someone in my area was selling it for £125 by 9am on eBay (it was sold later that day) along with a heap of other RSD releases. I was eighth in the queue, so could clearly see who was in front of me. The first place spot was occupied by a female, the only female in the queue, and she left with a massive pile of records in a bag. The eBay seller locally? Female name...
I do wonder?

First off, I don't think this was limited to 600 copies. There may have been 600 that were numbered. Way too many people have seemed to find these to make 600 a realistic number. Here in the United States it is available from Best Buy. Same pink vinyl, same UPC number, but no mention of it being numbered. So let's just wait and see what everyone gets. www.bestbuy.com/site/a-diamond-in-the-mind-live-2011-lp-vinyl/35010416.p?skuId=35010416
