I'd say $70. The Dj is $20 from Grant books. Interestingly, the double dj for the S/L of DTIV is $15, yet the single for DTIV is $20.

Is the market reaching its most soft point? It's not that long I've been a collector (6-7 years), but I never saw as low prices as the ones you see these days (not for all the articles, of course!)

Hard to say. It could go lower.Originally Posted by Ari_Racing
The market (King that is)? I think we have overall reached bottom and are bouncing along there. Of course, some items will continue to deteriorate in price, but I think as the general economy recovers, some pricing power will return to collectibles. Some, not a lot though.

Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Thanks David, should you come across one or know of one let me know as i would be interested in purchasing it if the price is reasonable enoughRusty-
I own one. It was inscribed to KelLee Larson, who was the Office Manager at Donald M. Grant Publishing prior to Karen taking over. I bought it from Dave Hutcheson (Hutch) years ago and I paid $350 I am pretty sure. That is more than I would normally pay but I am a Dark Tower completest and I had never seen another one of these legitimately signed by King, so I stretched to buy it. I also bought from Hutch at the same time a Grant 2nd edition Drawing of the Three inscribed to KelLee and a Grant 1st Wizard & Glass inscribed to KelLee.
In today's market, I think a signed 3rd edition Grant Gunslinger could bring $250 to a seller. Sorry, that was more answer than you were looking for.
Thanks David and RF.
Question: Secret Windows hardcover...it was only released as a BOMC and my copy has no price on the DJ (as are all BOMC I believe). I have a customer who is confused as to how to identify a first edition of this book. The Collector's listing and one compiled by Bev Vincent say that there is a price on the DJ of the first edition. I think there is no price as it was only a BOMC edition. Tell me if I am right or wrong here.
Thanks

I've never seen a price on BOMC editions.

Even more specifically, I've never seen a price on the dj of Secret Windows. I think The Collector and Bev are mistaken. Also, as far as I know, there is no way of determining if it's a first edition or not, as is true of all BOMC editions.

Thanks for the input and confirmation that the lists are incorrect stating there is a price on the DJ.

Help with pricing on Twice the Power.

$150
If you're going to sell a copy for $150 David, I'm interested$150
I agree. $150-$200 would be a fair price.
John
Thanks all. I just had a guy inquire what his book was worth and asked me if I do consignments. Biomeg. If he does sell it or consign it to me, you will have dibs on the book.

No offense, but i really dont understand why you (David) share the price you buy books to sell them... and stuff...
A new business model here?

I don't think he's sharing the price he's going to buy the books for ... he's just asking what he could possibly sell them for.

Thanks, Father D.! Looking forward to seeing lots of proofs at Bett's, they are my main collecting goal right now
That is something I have always found Betts to be lacking. I always check here, as they are my main collecting interest too, but there has always been the same few. Seperately, it is nice to see prices that seem to reflect the state of the market. Previously they seemed stuck at the peak of the market.

That's how I read it.

Quoted for truth! My proof collection is still quite modest (13 US and 10 UK) and there are at least 10 other proof titles out there which can be had for less than $100 a piece (some a lot less) so I made a wishlist to keep myself busy the coming months
Need some advice please
Hey guys, I've been a lurker here for awhile. Finally decided to register.
I've just recently started to collect Stephen King books. So I've been posting ads for Stephen King books on craigslist to see what I could find. I got this offer today.
- Just After Sunset (UK Collector's edition, still sealed) $80
- Secretary of Dreams vol. 1 $50
Don't know what edition the Secretary of Dreams is.
So do you guys think it's worth it? If it's in good condition of course.
EDIT:
I hope I posted this in the right place.
