Stephen King Collecting Questions

[Patrick]

I remember seeing a thread that had estimated market values for SK collectible books, can anyone help me find that table.

Do you mean this thread?

Current Market Value - Experts assess your collectible King item

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Thats probably the thread, but within the thread I'm looking for, there was a link to a table of all SK books with their current estimated market value.

Specifically, I am trying to decide what a DTIII S/L would be worth.

Thanks, Patrick.

I haven't seen such a specific table on this forum but as far as current market values go, Tomas' site is the place to go: www.stephenkingcollector.com

DT III S/L: http://www.stephenkingcollector.com/limited/dt3.html

I put up a link with a spreadsheet comparison for prices, but it was comparing issue price to market price in 2005.

Anyone ever seen this before? If so what is it?

It's in the King Collectibles subforum: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...ead.php?t=2935

I don't think I'd pay more than what this seller is asking, by the way (I paid about $20 for mine and I think that might have been too expensive, even).

*edit* just noticed it's a BIN or Best Offer, sorry, thought it was up for auction

[ChristineB]

Thanks biomieg. I forgot about the listings here.

It was first published by the Book of the Month Club. It is, however, the only edition of Lisey's Story published in a slipcase. The original price, including shipping, was about $29, so this one isn't out of line.

That's funny - I bought this book from the same seller, but I got it from his Amazon.com listing for 18.95

I'm pretty sure I got mine from an amazon seller, as well.

I got one also from this seller for $19.. I was a little shocked when it arrived in a flimsy plastic bubblewrap envelope (YIKES!!!) Luckily the book was not damaged. Come on people...Media mail is media mail .. put it in a box for cryin' out loud!

[Ari_Racing]

That's the gift edition. I think it cost was $35 when the book was released. I don't remember the publisher, but it wasn't Scribner.

[jhanic]

Publisher was Book of the Month Club.

Can anyone tell me identification points for a trade edition of Night Visions 5? Was there just one printing so I am safe bidding on a shrink wrapped copy (although I hate the idea of a book that is still in shrink wrap after 21 years)?

Only one trade print edition by Dark Harvest. You are safe.

Thanks Ralph.

Now how many were published? what would be a respectable price for the trade edition?

Thanks Ralph.

$15

I have the print run info somewhere. Will look for it.

Thanks Ralph.

I think 8000 copies. I think it's a steal at $50 or less in the original shrinkwrap. Especially when you consider it contains three original King short stories.

Thanks Hutch. I know I've jotted the print run down but need to locate my notebook. 8000 sounds right.

As for the price, a seller on Ebay has had several auctions end with no bidders at $15. He also had another copy for $25 in a lot of mixed King goodies with the book.

I'll keep my eye open for him again.

I got a brand new copy of Night Vision V two months ago!. There was someone else bidding against me but the auction only went up-to £3.70($7). . It would be awesome if I could get the other volumes for that price lol.

What is with that anthology anyway?, I have the paperback of Dark Visions which has the exact same stories and I've seen a hardcover of Dark Visions. Was it published under different names for the US&UK?.

[Bev Vincent]

The paperback version was called The Skin Trade.

If I remember right, The Skin Trade had the original version of Sneakers in it. I know I used to have it when I was younger. Are you sure it's the same book Bev?
