Baldur's Gate 3 Collectors Edition Is Being Scalped For Over $2,000
It's almost a guarantee that if you sell a limited collector's edition for any game now, it'll end up on the internet at extortionate prices thanks to scalpers. Baldur's Gate 3 is no different.
As spotted by RexNovis on Resetera, the Collector's Edition is selling for $1,000 to $2,000 on eBay, often with "NO DIGITAL CONTENT". The ones that do include the game, such as a listing with the PS5 pre-order, go for as high as $2,000. This is despite developer Larian Studios initially selling them for $269.

Things aren't much better in the UK. Right now, there are two listings for the collector's edition, both with no digital content, for around £950. That's not including postage. The first has 13 bids so far, which means 13 people are willing to pay over £1,000 for some merch. That number will likely grow as more people bid closer to the sale, as there are still 36 hours left to go.
"Each collector's edition contains a digital copy of the game, a custom sticker sheet, a 25cm Mind Flayer vs. Drow battle diorama, a 160-page hardcover art book, a cloth map of Faerûn, a set of Dungeons & Dragons-inspired origin character sheets, a metal tadpole keyring, a Magic: The Gathering booster pack, a custom-engraved metal d20 based on the dice from Baldur's Gate 3, and a certificate of authenticity, all within a mind-flayer-inspired collector's box," Larian's merch page reads.
Buying the Collector's Edition also pockets you the Digital Deluxe Edition DLC, which gives you Divinity-inspired items, the Adventurer's Pouch, and the digitally downloadable OST, artbook, and character sheets, as well as an "exclusive in-game skin based on the physical metal d20".
