The Collectible Harry Potter/J.K. Rowling

[Highbury]

That eBay auction is insane, who on earth is wanting to pay that?! Craziness.

[Joe315]

$1200 is a shockingly high price. Hopefully it sticks.

[Scoogs]

Wow, $1200 already? Apparently it's good to be the first seller!

I had ordered two copies from Goldsboro, but they emailed today and said

In the light of recent developments and in order to satisfy loyal and regular customers we are unable to provide you with multiple copies of The Cuckoo's Calling.
We've immediately refunded you for the difference.

I don't actually care as long as I get one, but I have ordered from them 3 or 4 times. I guess that's not enough to qualify as a loyal or regular customer?

[surly]

Mysterious just cancelled my order.

[subie09lega]

Oh poo, when did you place your order?

[surly]

Oh poo, when did you place your order?

Just this morning.

[subie09lega]

Oh poo, when did you place your order?

Just this morning.

That is a bummer, I guess their system didn't pull it when inventory was depleted.

[Tito_Villa]

I expect mine will be cancelled soon then

[chrise]

Just got the email as well.

[subie09lega]

I just got emails for both my orders that were submitted last night.

[Joe315]

Mine was cancelled as well. still have my order from Goldsboro though

[subie09lega]

Show us pics when you get it!

[Joe315]

That'll be in 2-3 weeks.

They are probably referring to their book club members. Or they decided to limit it to one per customer.

[subie09lega]

We're a patient bunch, especially when we aren't getting any.

That'll be in 2-3 weeks.

As a J.K. Rowling collector since a few years ago, I am really sad of how the events developed.

I couldn't get a signed from Goldsboro, it was already sold out, and I reserverd from Mysterous books yesterday in the morning, also canceled.

So from the four books I want to own (UK and US 1st, US arc and UK signed), I won't get any of them.

A good way to start the week crying

[ELazansky]

Mine was cancelled from Mysterious as well

[pmtarantino]

By the way, if someone bought two signed copies and wants to sell one, please pm or email me to patriciotarantino at gmail

[becca69]

I talked to Myst. Galx. and they told me they only ordered 3 copies for hundreds of orders. They also said Amazon UK is sold out of 1st printings.

Chances are that this book has only had one printing so far. Just try to grab the less expensive copies off ebay and I would think you still have decent odds of getting the two 1st/1st editions.

I'm ok with that.
Thanks for the tip. If you hadn't posted, I wouldn't even have one that one on order.

Mysterious cancelled my order as well.

[Lurker]

I ordered US and UK from a bunch of different places yesterday so we'll see.
I talked to the lady at Murder By The Book this afternoon and she said the shipments that will be coming in in August will be second printings.
Foyle's seems to still have some but who knows if that's correct or not.

The cheapest copies out there aren't yet in stock. They say will ship next week, as major bookstores are saying too, when they receive new stock. I think they will be second print

[becca69]

Yes, all the cheap ones on Ebay and also at most US book stores are going to be 2nd printings. Everywhere I emailed or called said the book would be in stock next week, meaning they are reprints.

[becca69]

I took a chance and ordered from Foyles. It said it would be dispatched within 2 days. Fingers crossed.

And if anyone gets an extra US copy, I would love one! (as long as it's not $1000 - )
