    Default Auction #9--Signed First Edition of Duma Key






    Auction #9
    Duma Key
    First Edition
    Signed by Stephen King

    This is a book I am donating from my personal collection. It was given to me by tippy along with another book in exchange for getting a book signed for him in DC.

    I had always planned to donate both. One last year, one this year.

    I am fully confident in the authenticity of this signature. I have seen a copy like this on Ebay for 500.00 --but its not selling so we're starting much lower.

    After a construction accident in which he loses his right arm and his divorce, Edgar Freemantle moves from Minnesota to Florida to begin what his psychiatrist described as a "geographic cure." He rediscovers his love of painting and finds that he is good at it but his paintings seem to have something "more" to them. On Duma Key he also finds a new friendship with Wireman, a kindred spirit seeking refuge there as a caretaker for Elizabeth Eastlake. Elizabeth's past also contains painful memories that have been reawakened bringing all of them together to face an evil entity named Perse.

    Auction Opens: 2/22/10

    Opening Bid: $150.00

    OOPS!!!

    Made a b******s - my bid should was to be $205, NOT $2050. Much as I would like to be wealthy enough to let it go, I've PM'd Matt and asked him if he can fix this.

    Most sorry to all...

    Nope, sorry!




    I'm sure Matt realizes that it was a mistake and will leave you with sufficient time to sell your home, family, friends, body parts, whatever you need to sell to gather the money together. Just be glad you didn't type in a few more zeros.

    I am not sure how to fix the miss bid but the auction is almost over so we may be okay.

    The official price of this book is $205.00 right everyone.
