2012 Haven Foundation Fundraiser Item #3-The Stand "Black Case"

[carlosdetweiller]

1 of 10, Bob. That must be very tempting for you............................................... .....

Some people really like aftermarket slipcases. I've never been one of those. Not to say this is not a really cool item. Just not my cup of tea.

[The Library Policeman]

I can't bid on my posted auction.....drats!

I'm sure there's a "members assisting with purchases" thread around here somewhere

[AKC]

Been wanting a white one, but can never get one, going with black it looks like

G, if I win the Black Case, I'll sell you my White Case!!!!!

Forgot about you AKC!

AKC.....flying under the radar

[jhanic]

I have one of the black ones. I'm not thinking of parting with it. I really like it.

[Randall Flagg]

Wow, we are already over $100!.
BTW, in my opinion this case is worth over $400. There are only ~5 out there in the world. Tomas has kept these close to the vest. I tried to bribe him 2 years ago and couldn't buy one for any amount.

Do you know if some of our more illustrious members have one? I'm thinking Bob, Ralph, Mr. RT, Wiz etc? If they want one then that can only be good for the fundraiser.

I don't have one. I've never bought anything from Tomas the Collector that I can recall.

Hopefully this auction will catch your eye.

1/5 that are out there-

Lol.

GO AKC

[neosatus]

Those are sweet. I must say--I like the white one more though. As nice as it is I'm holding out for possible DT items

[Jimimck]

Never knew they existed in black. Looks pretty sweet, but a little out of my league for a slipcase...

I don't have any after market slipcases either. For the above reason.

[namelessnpoor]

I too have tried to get one of these black cases from Tomas on more than one occasion. He always refused my offers and inquiries, but he did so in a very polite way considering the number of times i tried !

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I do like after market cases and own several. I've never pursued the "BLACK" Stand case. Not really sure why.....however, I do love the white one. The "BLACK" case is very attractive.

Warning for those looking at the auction, don't underestimate the power of the darkside that the "BLACK" one holds. No returning back after it takes you over.

I've been trying to remember just where and when I got the black case. I remember getting it off the old "DT Bay" auction site on this forum. Just when, though, I sure don't remember.

Only if a buyer really reads between the lines (the auction pretty cleary says it's just a case), they may read this:

Item specifics
Condition:
Brand New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. See the seller’s listing for full details.

Hey guys,

Happy to list this for the site. Probably no one remembers the original announcement on these 3 years ago, but I said back when I was making these 10 that they wouldn't be available for sale by me, which is why I (politely I hope) keep turning down offers to sell these. So I put one up every so often for a promotion, auction, etc.

I will say, however that this black STAND case was the design basis for the upcoming Salem's Lot case which will be announced for pre-order in a couple days. (Along with a few extra white STAND cases). Imagine having both the STAND and Salem's Lot black cases side by side on your bookshelf...amazing!

I have seen pictures of the new 'Salem's Lot case and it is perfect.

[thecollector]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I see the price of the STAND case is currently at $205. If the auction goes to $220 or higher I will give the winner a free matching Salem's Lot traycase to go along with this one. (As long as the buyer is OK waiting for both cases to ship at once).

The Salem's Lot case, which has the exact same outer material as this black STAND case will be a perfect match on your shelf. Pre-orders for Salem's Lot will go live tomorrow with the cases shipping the last week of February.

9 Hours left- Happy Bidding!

Bidding at $229. I really hope someone from here gets the case(s). Only a few hours left.
