    However, they might wow a non-serious collector on ebay. I'd say you may even be able to break $300 if you got lucky on ebay. There are more than the serious collectors out there and we know many...

    Just curious, but has anyone noticed that the book is not signed "Stephen King" but "Steve King" instead. Seriously, I would believe this would add even more to the value of the book. First because...

    Signed trade editions, for the most part, are about the memories behind the signature than they are anything else. That doesn't mean I wouldn't purchase a signed King trade edition but rather that...

    I'd say that $300-$325 is a reasonable price for it right now. Considering I paid $350 WAY back in 1998 from Betts Books, I'd say that's not a bad haul Eric. I wish some of the other S/L prices...

    Be picky and you'll find something that deserves to be in your collection. Get whatever comes first and you may end up with something that belongs in the used bookstore.

    I prefer picky...

    The Cat's Meow houses show up every now and then and range from $50-$130 if I recall. I think the $130 is WAY high, and the $50 is too high for me.

    Dang. Things have really changed over the years for Quesada. He used to be really easy to get sigs from and stayed until the con was over and then some. That was before he had his current position...

    The Collector lists the price at between $800 aqnd $1,000. That seems a bit high to me, but only by $100-$150. I'd say that $650 is a...

    So did mine. I didn't catch that on the auction. Maybe someone forgot to put the number slip in the book, or maybe the seller isn't the original owner, or maybe the book was just reshrinkwrapped...

    Curt, you didn't over pay at all. You actually got the book for what it was sold for. The book was sold, by itself, for $150. The slipcase with the cover art was an additional $50 which brought...
  12. I felt the same way about Just After Sunset,...

    I felt the same way about Just After Sunset, which had a signing for only 400 copies, but it has run close to the same prices as the recent UTD, or more appropriately UTD has run closer to the JAS...

    Before we go assuming, remember that Bernie Madoff was already rich when he stole billions from thousands of people.

    From a collectible standpoint, seeing as to how King has since refused to sign these books (or so I have heard) I would say they are worth a great deal more than their unsigned counterparts. Having...
  15. I agree with both of you. I wouldn't want my...

    I agree with both of you. I wouldn't want my work stolen like that and won't support, or own, anything that has been likewise stolen. I still have my doubts that King actually signed those copies...

    That's certainly the assumption I make from David's description.

    Add to the cost of the Rowling items the fact that she doesn't do signings unless it's for a charity or some other special occassion and does not accept books in the mail for signing like King once...

    I don't think it's belly aching. I think it's a good discussion. With Rowling, I think the same thing that is happening with her books can be observed with King's earlier books. However, King has...

    Greg, I think the prices have much more to do with the economy than they do anything with over inflated prices. If the prices were overinflated (and I don't think they were) they would have fallen...

    Publishers do print more than the specifed number for replacement purposes. The books have no number or letter on the number/letter line so that the publisher can simply write in the replacement...
