Why we called it
First-party Nintendo special editions have a short, consistent history: small allocations, instant sellouts, and a presale market that forms the same week. Metroid Ravenous SE followed the script. Called at £99.85 when pre-orders went live, sold out, and confirmed at £165-175 on eBay UK presale solds shortly after.
That is roughly £70 net a copy on a product still months from shipping, with the restock monitor armed for any pre-order reload. Nintendo special editions rarely get second print runs, which is what holds the floor.
The edge
What members knew before everyone else worked it out.
- £99.85 in, £165-175 confirmed presale solds, roughly £70 net.
- Sold out on pre-order, which for first-party Nintendo SEs is the norm rather than the event.
- Presale solds rather than asks, so the band is real.
- Restock monitor armed on the pre-order page for reloads.
- No second print run history on this product class, which is the hold argument.

The takeaway
Some lanes are pattern recognition more than analysis. Nintendo special edition plus instant sellout has resolved the same way for a decade, and the only edge required was being told the moment pre-orders opened.
