All the early Doubledays. Carrie, Salems, Shining, Night Shift, The Stand. VG and NF price ranges would be awesome. Thanks
Thinner ARC Advanced ABA edition
My Guesses...
C - VG: 900-1000 F: 1200
S (assuming second state) - VG $700 F: 800 3rd state: $300 (total guess on Salem's haven't looked at this in awhile, may be high)
NS - VG: $550 F:650
St - VG:$250 F:300+
Sh - VG:$250 F: 300+
Once again check with others before taking these to be the set prices.
I'd say you were a little low on everything but Carrie:
C - VG: 700-800 F: 1000
S (assuming second state) - VG $700 F: 900 - 1200 3rd state: $450 'salem's is popular right now
NS - VG: $650 F:800-1000
St - VG:$300 F:400+
Sh - VG:$350 F: 500+ (a truly fine Shining is hard to find)
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. 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
I think I got a great deal on a first edition Gunslinger! Book description was: "First Edition stated, no additional printings, Trade $20.00 Limited $60.00 on front flap, five full-page color illustrations; 8vo, brown cloth; vg+ (light bumping to spine ends and very light fading to spine tail) in vg- dj (edges worn and lightly bumped; two small tears to spine head); 224pp."
What do you guys think of value and condition? Looks like the book is unread; the book didn't even fell open when I tried to make a picture of the copyright page.
Yeah, if there is a "green stain" at the top of the DJ, from a collectible perspective the value is $0 and, as a result, the book is devalued as well.
Hope it's just a camera/lighting glitch!
It's not a lighting glitch. The stain is there. But it's such a strange stain, on the inside you can't see nothing and there's no rippling (correct word?) around it.
Then I would estimate that the Book/DJ is currently worth $350. Assuming the book is in Fine condition.
Add a new DJ for $400 and its back to the Current Market Value of $750ish.
Paid $225 for it. Still a good price, but not great.
