    Thanks everyone for replying you were all very helpful. I have decided to not sell the books in bulk (and unfortunately he is not happy). Anyway, I have put two books up on DTBay, one expensive and one not so expensive, to get a feel on how DTBay works.

    This is my last post in this thread. Any future DTBay posts will be in the DTBay thread.

    Thanks again!

    I think the fact that he is not happy proves he was looking forward to the money he was going to make off (not with) you.

    Yea, I know. It's all a business for book sellers.

    But I still would like to have good relationship with him. *shrug*

    Geoff, you have to remember that, to have a good relationship with him, it takes both of you. It didn't really sound as if he was that concerned with your side.

    I am glad you are giving Dtbay a try.
    This thread will be merged with the Collectors Question thread, with a 1 week redirect, so that it still appears as itself. If more time is needed, please advise.

    I *really* wish I could bid on that Gunslinger, but unfortunately my garage door opener decided to go to the clearing at the end of the path.

    Sorry, but I HAVE to get into my garage.

    lol I know how that feels. I have a double garage, and my door opener broke, and then I broke the handle off trying to open it manually. I couldn't get in my garage for a day or two until I got it fixed.

    Thats fine Jerome, you can remove it at any time. I got the answers I was looking for.

    Then perhaps Geoff you should change your mood from Confused.

    Default ON WRITING PROOF UK

    Have any of you guys heard of this UK Proof of "On Writing"?
    Description:

    A proof that was rejected by Hodder & Stoughton at the request of the Author as it shows him looking rather sad. The proof D/W also has some minor changes to the blurb on the inside flap. It is our understanding that only a handful of these proof D/W's were produced and almost all were destroyed apart from two.

    I remember reading something about this on one of the book sale sites (ABE, Adall, etc.) I don't have it.

    I've got a copy of that one in my collection. It seems to be really scarce and always really expensive when offered. Pretty cool, though. I've only seen three offered for sale.

    I also have one. I actually like the cover image of the rejected DJ better than the approved DJ. It looks more professional. The image used on the approved DJ seems a bit goofy to me.

    I've never thought of this as a proof. It's simply a rejected DJ. In my experience proof DJs are usually missing something. For example : the flaps are blank or there is a blank space where the bar code would appear.

    Thanks for the info Bob. I had never heard of this before.

    I saw this on ABE, and I have just bought it.

    I suppose I am now officially a collector of proofs. I will need to remove the statement from my website.

    I need a quick response if possible.

    What do you think would be a decent price to charge for a Gunslinger S/L in this market? I have my own ideas but want to bounce it off all of you.

    I'd say around $4 - 5k for an opening bid if you were going the eBay route... Betts has a s/l set with 2-7 being matched numbers for $8500. I figure (keep in mind that you are ten-fold the authority on values as I would be) about $3000 - 3500 for 2-7.....

    Difficult Wiz. Single copies do not seem to be selling. Betts have had one on sale for ages.

    I got one off ebay for £2000 ($4000) and I was the only bidder.

    I wouldn't sell it for less than $5500.

    He's a weird one.

    But it figures I couldn't trade him for a book.
