Collectible Classifieds-Primarily for Stephen King Items

I have no horse in the race, as I don't collect King anymore, BUT ... I'm a part of a Disney Print collecting Facebook group and they hold these things called "waffles" in addition to just outright selling. Let's say the seller wants to get $200 for his item, so he puts up a "waffle" and says "It'll be $10 per spot, and 20 spots only" ... People call dibs on however many spots they want (sometimes there is a limit set by the seller) and off we go. If the waffle gets full, that's when everyone PayPals the money to the seller and then the seller puts all the names in a hat and draws one for the winner. Just something to consider. An easy way to get an amount of money for the seller and a cheap way to get an item for the buyer.

That's a really cool idea.

I think so too. The only potential downsides I can think of are:

a) Untrustworthy sellers. Either they 1) get all the money sent to them and run, but that can happen here during normal sales as well, or 2) They don't do a fair drawing, they choose their friends, etc. etc.

b) Sour puss sore losers that put $10 in each waffle only to become a pain in the ass publicly after they don't win three times in a row.

That's about it.

Agreed. I think it'd work well here amongst those that have proven themselves. The drawing could be done by a trusted third party that the seller provides the names to. I wouldn't do it otherwise without some type of safety net.

Technically we do that every year as part of the HF Grand Prize, although members are committing money as a donation so no real moaning about not winning (well not much anyway :evil:)

The point being, the system is proven here.

I have done this on Facebook to get money out of an item. It works. For instance... Faithful s/l... I wanted $100... Sold $100 in $10 tickets and got my money. Someone got a book for $10!!

Correct. Many(most) of the auction winners were not members here.

Probably too late to answer but yes I'd be interested also. Thanks!

Desperation gift edition from Grant Publishing. Fine condition. Last two on eBay sold for $45 and $91. Let's say $60 shipped and it's yours.

From a Buick 8 gift edition from Cemetery Dance. Everything is in VG condition. Don't buy this expecting a fine book. There are a few minor nicks on the slipcase, the page block isn't sparkly white and there's some minor rubbing on the DJ from the slipcase. I also tend to exaggerate the defects which anyone who's ever bought from me can attest to. Last GE in fine condition sold for $295 + shipping. I'm pricing mine accordingly at $150 shipped. Feel free to PM me for pics. I haven't been able to post pictures since Photobucket got all uppity and kidnapped my album. SOLD

Umney's Last Case. White cover. No clue what these go for. Make a not-too-stupid offer and it's yours. SOLD

Hi.

I am selling my spare copy of the UK Advance Uncorrected Proof of The Dark Tower (DT VII) - Limited to 100 copies (but some were rumoured to have been destroyed due to a spelling error of the limitation page, so exactly numbers unknown). It's not in perfect condition (VG or G+) with some edgewear and minor soiling to the page block. The front cover has a couple of creased corners and fingering creases, but the back cover has a couple of stronger creases to the lower left corner that translates to a much lesser extent to the last thirty or so pages. Please see photographs below. Any additional photographs please ask.

Any reasonable offers will be considered. Please PM me. Note I am UK based. SOLD

Thank you

I have 3 available, numbers 93, 153 and 169.

David at Betts sold one recently for $699. I’ll match that at $699 each plus shipping.

I still have this book and I also have a signed End Of Watch. Excellent +/never read condition. - $180 shipped

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4555/...26ef6115_b.jpg

UPDATED + BUMP (removed some items that sold)

Still for sale (more pics behind spoiler tags):

The Stand - pretty nice copy of a VERY hard to find book (no more than 1,000 printed). The 'laminate' spine creasing is a common flaw with this one. Alas, it has a previous owner's inscription, which for me personally is not a dealbreaker. Also a bit of the silver foil on the spine has rubbed off. Still, hard to find in any condition - $500

https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...98&oe=5AAEB852

I also have an unsigned publisher's copy (1 of 35 copies) of the Danse Macabre S/L (no slipcase) - $150
