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

[bdwyer19]

I have my doubts on this, but would appreciate the experts help...

[ChristineB]

For me, which I am no expert, that looks horrible, so many things wrong there it's hard to know where to start. But again, I am no expert.

[carlosdetweiller]

It is really bad.

[bdwyer19]

Thanks for the validation, Christine and Bob. Even though the seller has an actual store, I think it's just a gigantic warehouse. So the fake signatures just got lost among the other books. If a legit bookstore was actually selling that, it would truly be shameful.

Just keeps popping up.
Terrible:
STEPHEN KING "DOLORES CLAIBORNE" 1ST ED- PRESENTATION COPY! VERY GOOD!

[Randall Flagg]

Called a "misprint", but really just a production error:
Needful Things by Stephen King hardback Book 1st Ed. -Misprint Error Dust Jacket

[Jimimck]

I'm only posting this here because of the asking price.

$550 for an IT art portfolio? Really?
Um, I think I'd rather have the signed limited book for a bit more thank you.

Weird gap between the p and h:
The Eyes of the Dragon Signed by Stephen King hardcopy book-First Ed.




Sticker or not, it is bogus:
Stephen King SIGNED AUTOGRAPHED Book RARE ORIGINAL

Terrible g:
Stephen King Four Past Midnight Signed Hardcover Book

[ChristineB]

I may have to disagree or at least question that Four Past Midnight. the close up looks very fluid to me, and we all know his newer sigs are looking really bad, if this was just a drive by "please sign my book" in a hotel this could be real.

I too disagree about the FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT...I think it is legit.

I am hesitant to say it looks real good... I get why RF notes g is potential concern.... and then I read who is seller.... may not be our "Friend" however could be just a bad omen when it states, "VIP Autographs, LLC. is a New York City based company founded by John Brennan, in-person autograph collector for over 30 years."
I also would not consider that a realistic price...

[Randall Flagg]

So bad I feel like I have been handcuffed to a bed for a month...

No...not a realistic price, but I would buy it if it was at $200....In fact that was the offer I made.

Feels right to me...but I get your concers with an autograph dealer.....too many bad ones out there.

[EXPLORER]

and the name Brennan lingers

[tippy4]

You think it is the same guy?

[Robert Fulman]

The other one isn't named John, and lives in New Hampshire.

[Randall Flagg]

I say it is terrible, should be spontaneously combusted...

Complete bullshit:
FIRST EDITION 1975 SALEM'S LOT Stephen King

[Joe315]

Complete bullshit:

I love that they are wearing cloth gloves.

Complete bullshit:

I love that they are wearing cloth gloves.

The gloves are to hide his fingerprints from the criminal activity he is currently engaged in by trying to pass this book off as anything but a reading copy

I actually bought his first book. When he sent it he enclosed a sincere-sounding hand-written note. It seems he's got a bunch of SK books on his shelf he bought a "long time ago." I believe he just doesn't know what a real First is or how to suss one out. In any event, I sent him a very polite e-mail letting him know that there are specific ways to tell a First and that, so far, that's not what he has. I specifically mentioned that the 'Salem's Lot was not a First. I also invited him to contact me if he wanted any pointers or had any questions.

I haven't heard back, and I guess his 'Salem's is still up, so I'm not sure what he thought of my information. I have the feeling he's an older gentleman.

I don't think it's any good:

I agree.
