Auction #13-Rare signed Locke & Key Comics

[Matt]

Auction #13 - Locke & Key set signed by Joe Hill

Here is a set of Issues #1 from each of the first three story arcs in Joe Hill's series, LOCKE & KEY. These are all First Printings and, even better, one is a Retail Incentive Variant which is rarer than the regular issue. All three were signed by Joe Hill, as witnessed by two TDT.com Managers, at his recent book tour stop at Booksmith on Haight in San Francisco on March 4, 2010. This set of three signed comics comes with the bookstore's event flyer you see in the photo listing Joe's appearance .

Yea.... I mean, darn, that's actually what I was bidding on!

[Patrick]

:lol: If this thing goes high enough, I'll throw in free shipping and the Tech Deck.

[turtlex]

Hmmmm. Well, let's see... I got outbid by Tito, who then got outbid by me, who then got outbid by Tito and now Brice is the top bid... there could be a TechDeck in someones future!! :lol:

You know, because on a site like this one ... we definitely need something else to collect!

[Tito_Villa]

Yeah i am currently tidying the room to see if there is any more $$$ to be spent :D

[Patrick]

Ok, if this thing goes over hundred bucks, I will pay for:

a) If the winner is in the U.S.:
PRIORITY Shipping with Insurance and Delivery Confirmation. Again, on my dime not yours. So you domestic bidders can figure on an additional $10 to $15 of value.

b) If the winner is not in the U.S.:
I have no idea anymore what it costs to ship from the U.S, except that at some point it got expensive as heck. I'll pay for the shipping.

Of course, this set will be shipped in a box not an envelope.


We'll see about the Tech Deck. That will involve some negotiation with my sons.

[Matt]

Very generous of you Patrick, thank you. :clap:

[Brice]

I was outbid now. :(







...by ME! ;)

This one is over, congratulations to the winner and thanks for bidding. :couple:

Yup congratulations to who ever won!!!

[Matt]

This comes up a lot so I thought I would remind everyone that during the auction, the high bidder is listed if you click into it on the right.

Also, once the bidding is over, you can go to DTbay and click "closed auctions". Choose a category from that screen and all the closed auctions the site has had recently are listed there in alphabetical order.

I don't usually announce winners and stuff but if people are curious, they are welcome to do some research. :orely:

[Patrick]

I won't divulge the name either, but:

Congratulations, Rhymes-with-Nice!
