AUCTION LINK (http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/201527840841?)

TheDarkTower.Órg is proud to be the EXCLUSIVE site to auction this new, unique and valauble item.
For your consideration is a Cemetery Dance Slipcased Limited Edition of Stephen King and Peter Straub's "Black House" and "The Talisman"

Scribner print less than 3,000 copies of each of these books, and Cemetery Dance only created 400 of the slipcases.
These sold out immediately and now are in demand. Included is a bonus Tomislav Tikulin Art Poster.



100% of the net proceeds of this auction go to

The Haven Foundation. Originally founded by Stephen King, The Haven Foundation is a national, non-profit organization making grants to freelance writers and artists experiencing career-threatening illness, accident, natural disaster or other emergency or personal catastrophe.


Thanks to Cemetery Dance for this kind donation.

I was wondering what the deal was with these editions the other day but this answers my question :). Looking forward to owing them!

What happened to this auction?

eBay pulled a number of the Haven Fund auctions. Not really sure why.

There is just no pleasing eBay, is there?!

They pulled them because of the TheDarkTower.Órg reference.
I suppose I'll have to leave the . out and hope that works. Either that or simply leave out the site name completely. I can still try and leave it in as an image in the pictures section.
They have suspended my selling privileges for 1 day.

Assholes... Is someone bitter against the site and reporting each or is it just their readers crawling the pages and taking them down?

It appears to be their automated bots.

seems they have different bots (or policies) in the UK. The slipcase auction is still going strong!

I'd noticed that too, Simon. I'm fine with the one I have so don't plan on bidding on it but do have it on my watch list just see what it'll fetch.

Perhaps because your listing did not have "TDT.Org included in the title? Can't check now to see if I'm correct, but that may have been the reason?

Then again, you guys would most likely be better equipped to determine the reason.

It's not in the title but certainly in the body of the description.

Perhaps I should have referred to the "book store" banner. Didn't it have TDT.Org traditional banner? Can't seem to find an old listing right now to compare....

Anyway, I think it may be a moot point as I am sure, RF has an "ACE" up his sleeve.

Ah! I believe you are correct, Bill. I just looked up the old listing for WOTC Alan Clark Remarque that I won and it didn't have the book store banner. Just the mention of TDT.Org in the text. I can't remember either if the one's that recently got pulled did or not. Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished-Signed Limited-Rocky Wood-#666! only mentioned TDT.Org in the text as well, but it looks like Jerome pulled that himself as it just states "ended" on my watch list. Like ya say, moot point once they go back up again.

Just over 10 hours left. IMO, worth more than $76:

Congrats Brian, I had this set a while back and sold it as I really didn't have the room for multiple copies of books, was sorely tempted to get it again though.

Thanks, Simon! My many copies of several books is getting out of control quickly. Something I said I'd never do was own more than one copy of a book when I got into this game. Yea, that lasted all of 5 minutes, maybe. Also won the Revival that was up for bid :).
