$700-$750. I pieced mine together for $650.
I was offered at $650 a few months ago. I didn't need the book, just the other items so I didn't take it. I can see $700 if someone really wants it.
I'll get the right thread now, I bought mine for $550 a year ago but they have been going up and up.$700-$750. I pieced mine together for $650.
Not sure if I will ever understand the trend that non-personalized books are more searched for ...Meh... be more impressive just flatsigned.
How about one signed "Steve" on 31st July 1979?
i love, and prefer, inscribed copies.
not just easier to spot a fake, but i like to imagine the story behind it.

I also like inscribed copies.
Lucky us we are the minority as usually they are cheaper
Yeah unless it's an association copy then it usually demands a premium.
There are certainly advantages to inscriptions. I have posted this link numerous times in the past so forgive me if it is getting repetitious. But the information, I think, is very valid.

I think it is just personal preference. For me I have always preferred signed and dated copies without a personal inscription. I even have a couple of copies inscribed "For Bob" but since I am not the Bob for whom the book was inscribed they don't mean much to me.
Thanks guys... Thinking of selling mine...

Thanks bob! Will read it later , never seen it before. At the ends its personal preference that wins sure, but the overall trend is pretty clear. I started a topic once to get more opinions one this question, but it wasn't interesting enough to survive longThere are certainly advantages to inscriptions.

Still a hot topic for me, but maybe better discussed at a meetup once

First edition, first printing.
A gorgeous copy, looks unread; the only real flaw is a price of "9.95" in blue ballpoint on the front pastedown. In gorgeous jacket that would grade Fine (just a trace of rubbing) but has the remnants of a sticker on the spine at the top of the Viking logo. By far the best copy of this one that I've seen in 20 years or more; wondering how much the flaws take away and make sure that I price it right.
Thanks.
A bigger picture:
That DJ looks amazing! Congrats.
I'll bet that sticker residue would come off with a little work. The dj is laminated so you can rub pretty hard and not go through the laminate. I've used a product that I have gotten at a Sherwin Williams paint store but probably any hardware store has something similar. It is called wallpaper remover or sometimes called paste remover. Just a dab on a cotton ball and rub gently. With a little patience and work the residue will soften and rub off. Since the dj is laminated it shouldn't leave any trace.
As to the ink price on the pastedown.....that is a non-starter for me.
Estimates on the price of an unsigned Lettered edition of PS Publishing's "Thinner"? The copy has been designated #8.
Do you think that means that there are at least eight unsigned copies of the lettered edition out there? If so..........wow!
There have been 4 known of Carrie , am I wrong ?
I would guess there are at least 8, and would believe although valuable, lacking the three signatures (most importantly King's), and missing the 1/26 original art pieces definitely makes it worth less than the ~$3.5k issue price.Do you think that means that there are at least eight unsigned copies of the lettered edition out there? If so..........wow!
I've had good luck using Goo Gone with a cotton ball as well for such things as this. I do like you that left it on for the auction so the new owner can be the one to remove it. I do have a pet peeve about writing such as the price in ink on the pastedown. But I've been told it's a common practice and I should get over myself. Especially if it's a really nice copy and the writing is disclosed before the sale.
So we're only talking about the book here, aren't we? I mean, without the traycase, as these are lettered as well.Do you think that means that there are at least eight unsigned copies of the lettered edition out there? If so..........wow!
No numbered cases floating around, I hope?

It's the clamshell case with the number 8 stamped on it. Inside is the envelope stamped 8 (it is missing an original Les Edwards piece), the art booklet stamped 8, the book with the dj stamped 8, and on the limitation page the book is stamped 8 (none of the three signatures boxes are signed).
Going rate for an S/L Gunslinger. Thanks for the help!
$5K If its perfect...

I'm considering purchasing this 1st/1st copy of The Shining, but due to its poor condition, I'd like to know what y'all think of its worth.
