The initial email from SP indicated a sale price of $2000 for the set, but it sounds as though that was reduced to $1500

Thanks, guys. The thread posts make sense to me now in that context.

Posted this in the ARC/Proof thread, wanted it here as well:
Camelot Books just offered a proof of the Subterranean Press edition of THE SHINING, which I was lucky enough to grab.
For those of you who may've seen this, any thoughts on desirability and value? It wasn't cheap, but I recall a comment on the SubPress website or in a Newsletter that "a handful" or "about ten" were done. I haven't heard anything additional, or seen any reference to the proof elsewhere.
Any input would be welcome.
I think that you will only get that top money for guys who want to be completists - I have no interest in owning it unless I was buying it to trade it for something. Once those guys have it, you have no one left who wants it at that price point. I am probably in the minority here but oh well. I would MUCH rather have a shining proof from Doubleday.
I have a copy of the proof. It's a pretty nice item to have, especially if you like the SL and have a copy to go along with it, they look nice together. I can't speak towards the value of it.
Special shout out of thanks for Sub Press providing the Gift edition of The Shining for our Grand Prize winner.
The book arrived two days ago.
Well done, William. Very nice of you!

Here's the note:
JohnHey all,
Just a quite note to let you know that we're sending out the exclusive Limited Edition dust jackets for The Shining. We have a good 700+ mailing tubes on hand. It may take us a day or three -- as some of the shipping staff is out -- to get everyone's shipment in the mail. Thanks for being patient.
For those waiting for replacement traycases, those should follow soon.
As ever, thanks for all of your enthusiasm and support,
Bill
I'm not sure I will put the new DJ on until I receive the traycase.
Just got my shipping notification from Sub Press.
I may just keep my DJ rolled up for now - I put a glassine jacket on my book already.
Fret about it.
