    Default Haven Fund GRAND PRIZE. INDECENT PROPOSAL.

    Congratulations! You have just won the Haven Fund's GRAND PRIZE, which (Correct me if I am wrong) is a personalized signed copy of the gift edition of THE SHINING.


    How much $$$ would it take for you to transfer ownership of the Grand Prize.

And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    My indecent proposal would be to ask Mr King to write "all work and no play makes Shaq a dull boy" over and over again before he signed it.

    I'd pay muchos $ for that but doubt he'd write it!!!

    (Hypothetically, considering that I wouldn't want to exchange it)

    I'm missing some early first editions in my collection. So I'd possibly fill in those gaps and let the new owner of the prize go crazy with having King write something to them.

    Actually I'd replace the picture of the actress with a pic of my girlfriend as that'd be the look she give when she wondered what the hell had I bought!!!

    The amount I would ask would never be accepted. Having a personalized book from SK would be a cherished and prized possession.

    True words! If I take the sentiment out of the equation then I can come up with a few trade options, however, since I've never even met Mr. King personally, and thusly have nothing personalized to me from him it would be difficult to pass on that opportunity.

    This was my first reaction as well. However, I tried to imagine what it would take if someone offered to "Paypal Gift" funds. Since the grand prize does not include actually meeting SK in person (which would raise the price substantially), I know my cash price would be $10,000. I don't expect that anyone would actually offer that amount, but the question wasn't for buyers, it was for sellers.


    By the way, as a partial owner of the site, I am exempt from the fundraiser drawings, so my price is a moot point.

    You can only sell it after you have taken possession of it. If one planned on doing that, they better have a buyer with the same name.

    Well, my price would be between the buyer and I, of course.

    At one point, this would have been the highlight of my collection. But now, with my collection all but spread out all over the globe, if I were to win this book, it can be the highlight of someone else's collection.

    Jerome said you can sell it after you take possession of it. Well, if payment is taken care of before the inscription is decided upon, I don't see why that would be a problem.

    But all of this doesn't matter, I'm not gonna win, lol.

    If you won, and wanted the book inscribed to "Jerome", that's fine with me. The winner submits an inscription "request". After that, it's all in Sai King's hands. I certainly wouldn't ask King to inscribe "To the highest bidder, thanks for making the Grand Prize winner of the Dt.Org's 2014 Haven Foundation Fundraiser a 'flipper'"

    Hey, you're a huge contributor. You should be able to win. However, I consulted a professional and the Tarot cards say I'm gonna win this year. And I ain't selling!!! LOL
