I didnt want to add to the derailing of the other thread and as the conversation has been requested to stop there, I thought it could be continued (on a hopefully more friendly level) here.
I have looked at some of your auctions, mainly I have to admit, as they have been pointed out as being suspect and to be honest I'm not in a position to judge. I have a few flatsigned books, but its not a big part of my collection. What I am more interested in is hearing about your experiences of signings. In order to have so many signed books and to operate as an actual (albeit possibly part time) business, you must spend a great deal of time tracking down King (and maybe other authors/celebrities) in order to get them.
This is a forum for sharing knowledge as well as taking it, to quote a wise man (and it may have been me that said this...
) If you take without giving, you will leave with full pockets but an empty heart" why not use your collection thread to share these experiences, maybe give some tips on how to ensure you get a book signed, what can affect Kings mood or what can initiate a conversation. All good stuff that members would like to hear.
It's up to you, but it seems to me, the core regulars have formed an opinion based on your comments/reactions so far, unfounded or not, this is your chance to show a different side to your character.
