Auction #1--The Long Road Home Flatsigned by Stephen King

The Long Road Home Omnibus
Flatsigned by Stephen King

This item was signed by Steve as a personal gesture to the site. We are using it to launch our fundraiser this year so I hope it draws a lot of interest.

I checked Ebay for an item like this and there was not one out there. I think most people would choose against bringing one of the omnibus' to a signing so it may be very rare.

Bidding will start at: $100.00

Bidding will begin: 1/1/10

I am still working out the new auction system, this one may have to go on dtbay but I will make sure it is well advertised on the site.

I am also going to let the SKMB know that it is going up for auction.

Oooooohhhh...shiny. :D

[Matt]

Glad you like. :lol:

[Daghain]

:lol:

Like, but sadly can't afford. Oh well. I'll just be jealous of the person who wins it. :lol:

[Matt]

Yep, same here. I just hope we aren't all too far gone to pick up some items (or make some donations) this year. :scared:

[Daghain]

Oh, a donation is definitely going to happen. :D

[Brice]

I agree.

Unfortunately it's just so soon after christmas that I can't even consider meeting the starting bid.

[Brice]

I agree.

[Matt]

I hope its not too high and people would tell me if it was. :lol:

[Brice]

I don't think it's too high. It's just in my case too high too soon after the holidays.

[lophophoras]

That is not too high for a item like that. I can imagine it will sell for quite a bit more.

[Matt]

I sure hope so, it would be a great way to get the fund raiser started. :rock:

[Matt]

Hate to post twice but Ms. Mod posted a pic of the sig when I announced the auction over there.

How long does the auction run for?

[Sam]

GREAT signature and inscription!!!! As for rarity, I would think so. I don't know of anyone who woul bring one of the Dt comics for King to sign if they could bring one of his books instead. All of King's signings have been for the book being released for the last couple of years I think. I should say, I am not aware of King signing anything but the current book at his signings since the Three Kings signing/reading.

The value for this one should be equal to any of the latest signed books by King. Given the inscription, maybe a little more. Price though is a different story, especially with Christmas having just passed.

[Patrick]

I'll bid $100, Matt, just to get things started. :)

[Matt]

How long does the auction run for?

Auction will run for 5 full days.

[Patrick]

Thanks for the info, Matt.

[JameseyLefebure]

I don't have $100 though :(

would you be willing to accept a husband, child and my soul ;)

seriously - amazing item Matt!!!

[Brice]

Wow, if souls were acceptable I bet I could get at least a dollar's worth of bidding out of mine...on a good day.

[Matt]

I'll bid $100, Matt, just to get things started. :)

Thanks Patrick,that is a great beginning.

Make sure you actually post the bid when I get the thing started on Jan 1st. :thumbsup:

Jamesey

I really wish I could take that stuff, it is like stealing diamonds though...you have to know people to turn the product. :lol:

[Brice]

Matt: I can hook you up. ;) :evil:

[Sam]

Wow, if souls were acceptable I bet I could get at least a dollar's worth of bidding out of mine...on a good day.

But you'll have to wait for March 14th, 2014 for that day to come Brice. That's the only day that I see on my calendar where the soul to cash conversion is enough in your favor to equal one US dollar.:P

[gsvec]

Very cool item to kick things off, Matt! :thumbsup:

[Nerak]

perty!!

And I am broke!

Damn kids wanting stuff for Christmas!!!

[turtlex]

Oh.
My.
Gosh.
Me want. Bad.

( Oh, and I've never seen a King signed LRH graphic novel... ever )

I'd like to bid $101 just to give Patrick a little challenge. :D

[Hannah]

This would make a great Birthday present for a guy I know who will never get around to reading this thread... so I don't mind posting that in here. I may just have to bid when it's up for auction.

I'm surprised it's so soon. Luckily I have other people's souls that might be worth a bit more. :)

I'll go $125. :P

Yeah, yeah, I know none of this counts until the auction opens tomorrow. Whatever. :rolleyes:

[Sam]

I'll go $125.25 just to piss Patrick off.

[Matt]

:lol:

After much research today, this auction is just going to be posted in DTbay tomorrow morning. The classifieds thing is giving me a headache. :orely:

I will make sure it is well announced and linked on the site tomorrow morning.

[Patrick]

Sam :lol: Are you Matt's shill bidder?

[Sam]

Of course not!! I'm just bidding against you, no matter what it costs. That happens all the time don't you know. Just ask Tim Miller.

[Matt]

Auction #1 is now posted in DTbay.

[Matt]

Holy crap!!

This auction is beyond my wildest dreams, what a great number to wake up to this afternoon.

[turtlex]

Wow !! No fooling ... I thought I was going to have a shot at this one, but right now - I don't think so. Will have to check on my finances some.

Great for Haven, not so great for me!!

[gsvec]

I just got outbid :( but I'm debating!!

[Patrick]

Geez, I've been gone all day and now it's already up to $305? Holy moly.

[Brice]

And now it's $400.

[Matt]

Wow! Just wow!

Ms. Mod is going to be so pleased with how this went and I am just beside myself to have such a successful first auction.

[Brice]

And it's still got almost four days to go.

[burial]

whoops... That's all from me... no extra $$$ at the time...

[Matt]

Thanks for bidding everyone, this auction is now closed.

[gsvec]

Congrats, Clacke! And $420 - zowie! :D

Looks like this year's fundraiser's off to a GREAT start!!

[Matt]

It really is, I'm so very happy how it turned out. :excited:

[Patrick]

Amazing! :nana:

[Clacke]

Thanks guys! I have to say I was debating with myself for days whether or not to bid, what with the Christmas spending credit card bill on its way, but in the end, with the proceeds going to the fundraiser, plus, as was said earlier in the thread, there aren't that many SK signed DT comics out there (though it'll never surpass Ari's!), I took the plunge in the last ten minutes of the auction. And I'm really delighted to have won it! :D

Now if you'll excuse me - I have to go put the apartment up for sale to pay for it.....:panic:;)

[turtlex]

Congratulations Clacke!

I am very jealous, but also - thrilled for both you and Haven.

It's a great item!

Well, at least you'll have really nice books if you become homeless. :lol:

Congrats on the new acquisition. :)

[Sam]

You can carry the books around in a backpack. Just make sure to get one of those used for major hiking, like Appalachian Trail hiking, and not a booksack like kids use for school books.

[Brice]

And if you can find a nice abandoned building you can make yourself bookcases out of cast off cinderblocks and boards. :cyclops:
