Current Market Value-Experts assess yours, or other's collectible King item

I'd say between $900 and $950. True, the AEs aren't getting any big "bump" in price, but having a set is worth something to someone.

The last LSOE < 800 sold on ebay for just over $900.

[Patrick]

Wow, I didn't realize the value had gone that high. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Estimations for the following?

supposedly 1st 1st of THE LONG WALK (US), ROADWORK (US), THINNER (US), RAGE (UK), THE RUNNING MAN (UK)

[herbertwest]

+ US proof for THE DARK HALF?

[biomieg]

That really depends on the condition of the books, Jeremy. The paperbacks + proof are easily damaged and that makes a lot of difference for the value. I don't want to give estimates for them but I would say that a 1st/1st of the US THINNER in NF condition is worth about $60.

[jhanic]

The US proof for Dark Half is relatively common. I wouldn't go more than $100 for it.

of all these the UK Running Man may be the most difficult to find in a true first edition. Most commonly found with a reprint statement the same month and year as the true first. Of course condition will dictate price.

[herbertwest]

thanks for those informations

As my great-great grandpappy always said to me, "Never make a time machine out of a toaster, and never pass up the opportunity to post a picture of THE RUNNING MAN." What a wise old man he was...

I bought a Dark Half proof off eBay a few months ago for around $25.

Hello, was wondering what the market value/rarity was for the following items:

Cavalier, March 1977
Prime Evil S/L
Dutch 'Salem's Lot, pictured below:


Thank you in advance.

[Niels]

Dutch 'Salem's Lot is about 10 to 15 euro, and then it depends on the quality of the dustjacket. I believe the print-run was 6000, but it's not that rare.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

The last 2 US Prime Evil S/L both sold for $275 at Betts.

[Shannon]

Thanks guys. I like the Dutch 'Salem's Lot a lot (lol @ "Lot a lot") and the price is for @18 for a damn good copy, so I'ma scoop one up.

Hi,

I have a UK version of The Long Walk in ok condition (read a few times) flatsigned by Mr King. I wondered what people thought it'd be worth, other than priceless to me.

Also thinking about buying an item on ebay, 'It' flatsigned to Dave for $275 but don't know if that is a reasonable value? It is in ok condition, not great, but US first edition.

Thanks for your help Dave (hence the interest in IT)

The Dutch 'Salem's Lot is one of the more collectible books for Dutch King collectors but man, what a fugly book!

I will not give a guesstimate because I don't collect signed books but I do know that signed US 1st/1st editions of IT are quite scarce. To me, $275 does not sound all that bad (depending on condition of course).

The EBay seller of that IT has been discussed here before and has sold several highly suspect King signatures. Pay a little more and buy from someone like Betts Books when one comes available.

Ooops, I didn't realize we were talking about that specific book. My bad.

[shaq]

No problem, that's great info. Being a relatively new poster (long time lurker), I wasn't sure where to put it, so sorry for hijacking this thread. Thanks for both your comments.

Regarding The Long Walk, anyone any views on that one?

Mr King was very interested in the cover when he signed that! Gave it a look (which seemed for minutes to me, but was probably a split second), opened it up and signed on the next page in. My pride and joy!

Cheers, Dave

So a DT1 SL #106... 6000$, is that anywhere near market value atm?

It's too much. The same book sold at Betts for $4500.

Edit: Actual Betts listing of a few weeks ago:

Gunslinger S/L #106 beautiful book, no flaws to book, DJ or slipcase- a consigned item (was $7,000) $4,500

[ChristineB]

Thanks Rabbit, figured it was way high for the market right now.
