The eBay BS Game: Questionable items, Stephen King signatures, sellers

[Randall Flagg]

A recurring nightmare:
SIGNED BY Stephen King 1987 Misery 1st Ed HC w/ DJ Book Viking Penguin Very Good

[tippy4]

I don't think it's any good:
Stephen King Signed The Regulators Bachman 1st edition autographed book

I agree.

I don't like it either.

I am on the fence about this one.

It is questionable to be sure....but something about it makes me think it could be legit.

It is one that I would like to see the whole page to judge size and positioning. I, too, am on the fence. My gut says it is fake. If you look at her other listings there are some other questionable items but I am not familiar enough with the other signatures to say for sure. I do think that the Mickey Mantle signed book is fake though.

Just not right:
Stephen King~SIGNED~Desperation~First edition first print DJ Fine 1st Make Offer

Stephen King~SIGNED~Nightmares and Dreamscapes~first 1st print DJ Make Offer

[carlosdetweiller]

No. I wouldn't buy either of those.

[mcdonaldj]

No. I wouldn't buy either of those.

This one's a better looking fake by the same seller - improving with practice. I was wondering (and hopeful) since I love this book but of course the low price was a red flag and I always check here first. I prefer the more amateur attempts since they're easier to spot.

Could this be legit?.

It has been listed several times,....I think it may have been previously discussed.

Sold now. I hope it is legit for the buyers sake.

I love this:

In my opinion, this copy has everything someone wants in a first edition book. Perfect for the Stephen King collector.

PET SEMATARY STEPHEN KING 1983 True First/1st Edition with Code Inside

[carlosdetweiller]

I think they just had the wrong photo for the listing. It seems correct now.

[Randall Flagg]

Certainly I've messed up listings, but at the moment I found it, there was a bit of humor(at least to me).

It looked like something from Franklin editions or maybe the International Collectors Library.

One of the worst sigs I have ever seen:
Pet Sematary by Stephen King 1983; Hardcover -1ST edition - SIGNED!- ACCEPTABLE

No DJ,water stains, but a deal at $399:
CARRIE by STEPHEN KING 1st PRINTING

[carlosdetweiller]

No DJ,water stains, but a deal at $399:
[/B]CARRIE by STEPHEN KING 1st PRINTING

I looked at that and wondered if it was really a good price or not. I have a spare CARRIE dj and would be interested in an unjacketed copy but I am really turned off by water damage of any type. For me any signs of moisture damage are a deal breaker. I don't think he is showing the water staining for a reason (unless that is some that I see under and to the left the first edition statement on the copyright page). I would ask for more pictures if considering this book.

[Randall Flagg]

"Never Opened". How the hell did they separate the cards from the book and still wish to assert "Never Opened"
Not only that, but the price is ludicrous:
Under the Dome, signed by Stephen King, Collector's edition-never opened

[Randall Flagg]

Cock-knocker quotes from the CR page, but the book is a 3rd printing:
The Bachman Books : 4 Early Novels by Stephen King - 1st Omnibus Printing '85)

I'm sure the name on the COA will set off a few alarm bells.
Stephen King The Best American Short Stories of 2007 SIGNED

[tippy4]

Yeah...but the signature is good.

Tim Miller bought a lot of these signed copies....over 100 in fact. He then rebound 100 of them in leather and marketed them as a "limited edition".

[Randall Flagg]

Shred the COA, but if that is the signed book received, it's legit.

[Randall Flagg]

A waste of money for $3.69. let alone $369
The Shining Classic Horror (Glass Slide ) 1980 Rare Stephen King

[Scoogs]

Yeah...but the signature is good.

Oh wow, I forgot all about that.

[tippy4]

AND NOW THE SELLER KICKED THE PRICE UP $50.
