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

[herbertwest]

One of only two signed chairs in the world. Ha!

Unless there is a photo or video of King signing that chair I am not convinced that it is legit. I know that anyone's signature would look different if they were signing upholstery but still.......

If you look at the Umass video, i remember hearing the host saying that King will sign the 2 chairs. It looks similar to the one that was on stage, but cant be sure i guess

Yeah he told me the same thing - books arent in yet and he will verify they are signed when they come in.
When I first looked at that listing this morning they were listed for 49.95, then price increased to 50 something and now 67.95 LOL

I asked this seller if he was sure these were signed by King and he replied "That is my understanding.Thanks."
I suspect he's going to have a few unhappy buyers...

I asked for a picture as well. He does not have the books yet. I really doubt they are signed.

I asked 2 questions 1. When and where King was signing the books 2. Is this just the slip cased edition. Here are the responses

1. They are being signed with the publisher and not at a public signing.
2. They are signed editions but not that special one that was limited to 500 copies.

Now I really doubt it is signed, unless he has a connection at Cemetery Dance that no one know about.

You got more of a response then I did. I sent him the CD link with description of the editions and he answered: "This would not be part of the limited signed release.......but a signed copy of the limited slipcased edition. I will of course verify once my allotment arrives which should be in a few days."

Odd. He has 1452 seller feedback 100% positive and appears to be signed books that he sells so strange he has listed these without verification of signature first

[Robert Fulman]

He also has 49 copies available.

And now he is not getting the books until December.

If it were me I would take down the listing until the books come in. Would seem to be the correct thing to do to maintain credibility as a trusted seller

Welcome to the site cerebusthepope.

Being discussed in CD thread. Sounds like this seller might have purchased them from B&N. B&N erroneously listed them as signed.

[tippy4]

I am able to enter 100 copies and move to the checkout.

This is bullshit.....there is no way this guy has signed copies.

Agreed

[tippy4]

Heard back from the seller. He still thinks they will arrive signed, but says if not he will refund purchase price.

Naivety or does he know something we don't (but should)?

[tippy4]

Naive.....or just plain dumb.

I agree on all accounts!!!

[Randall Flagg]

Pretty signature, but doesn't feel right:
Stephen king signed index card Stephen King autograph card

[jhanic]

I don't like it either.

Yes PRETTY ...... however.......(Just like some Pretty Woman) all signs indicate it is a fake!
