THanks for the input everyone. Yes, these are for consignment, meaning I am just the middleman. I act as the marketing piece for which I take a % of the sale price of the book. These books hopefully will be priced TO SELL. I have has consignees want to list prices that are way too high...it's like they have missed the last 4 years in the King market. I will list them at their inflated prices, but I do not hope to sell them.

Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
New Question....
Somewhere in the Corner we discussed the unnumbered, misbound copies of the S/L Gunslinger. Can someone point me to where that was, or recap the story. I have someone that wants to know how this mistake came to be, how many are out there etc. Thanks

David - I found these responses.
Starts at about post 139 of this thread. I believe Eric asked the question and then Hutch answered.

Thanks Pam. That was quick.
David - You're very welcome. I think that's what you were looking for.
RF - I just happened to be rereading a couple of things and remembered it was here, is all.

Unless I missed something, the link is to a problem with the "regular" print run of 10,000, not with the S/L print run of 500. The linked story is interesting but I do think there was an additional problem with the S/L, even to the extent of copies with no number (just a blank line) being circulated. And some of those with a non-sanctioned number added after-the-fact.

does the number on SoS look more like a 3 made into a 2? I have been looking at these books for a while, but now I am a little worried....do s/l editions get corrected from the publisher like this?
I see what you mean......strange.
Now see it blown up......sure looks like a 3 in there.
Weird...but whoever was numbering them probably wrote the same number twice and then did correct it.
I bet Karen will know!
Unless there is strong evidence otherwise, I'd say it is poor penmanship. Seems unlikely someone would have 2 copies of #1252 (DTV and DTVII) and obtain then change a third copy (DTVI) from #1253 to #1252.
I don't know what to say about it...but yes it's look wired
I agree, I just have never seen this and was curious why the number would be changed...Unless there is strong evidence otherwise, I'd say it is poor penmanship. Seems unlikely someone would have 2 copies of #1252 (DTV and DTVII) and obtain then change a third copy (DTVI) from #1253 to #1252.
There are quite a few examples of 'weird' penmanship and numberings out there. This example seems fine to me-if one doesn't like it.. don't buy it. Better to sleep well at night than buy something you will always question. It looks fine. Buy or don't, but IMHO, the numbering of this one is legit.
EDIT:
I don't believe the number has been changed!!
Now go back to post #2229 and look at a blown up picture of it.
Yes, it's a rewritten number. I'm saying that the person hand-numbering each book (I don't think it's Robert; not his handwriting) wrote "1252" on one book, grabbed the next book and wrote "1252" again...then they just handwrote over it for a quick fix.
I agree with the comment before, that it makes no sense that someone would have V and VII with the same number, but not VI.
Does it matter? Not sure, but if it bugs you, def. don't bid and hope you're okay with it later.
Is there any differences on the covers of the S/L and the regular audio ed.
of Drawing of the three from NAL.
I know the price $125 is on the S/L ed., but is that price also on the regular ed.?
The price(s) on the regular edition of DOTT audio are U.S. $34.95, Canadian $45.00
The Gunslinger was priced at U.S. $29.95, Canadian $39.95
The same person bought SOS and DT directly from us. Probably just bad numbering..
Karen, just curious--who does the numbering of these?
John
Thanks Randall!
Another question:
Was the regular and/or the S/L DT audio versions from NAL released in shrinkwrap?
Yes. Both were. If not, the cardboard cassette containers would have slipped right out.Thanks Randall!

I have someone on the SKMB wanting to donate a first edition of Firestarter to the fund raiser. I linked him to the page in the collectors catalog to verify it was a first. Here was his comment back.
Any idea if this is a true first?On the back cover, I don't have an ISBN# like the image you linked, just 03992 horizontal on the lower left back jacket.
Everything else on the website is exact.

I don't believe that's a first edition...at least not a 1st d/j.
Hmmmm...may need to have him send me some images? That could probably help.
