I think someone posted this earlier in another thread. I don't like the way the book looks... at all. If you want a leatherbound edition, I'd rather go for one of those slipcased leatherbound omnibus sets with King's book and, what was it, Isaac Asimov and Ludlum?

Question......With all the issues with missing signed pages, damages, etc. Would anyone here be comfortable buying an unopened book from Ebay? If you did, do you think S&S would help you with a replacement if something was wrong?Originally Posted by AKC
Most Ebayers would probably refund if something was wrong (OK I said most).
Just curious to other thoughts
So far I have only heard of one book missing a signature, and one with two signature pages. Everything else has been damage from shoddy packaging.
I am never comfortable buying unopened S/L's on eBay because I prefer the seller to first inspect what they sell. So, if it's unopened, I'm not comfortable until I receive the item, tear off the shrinkwrap, and make sure everything is in order.Question......With all the issues with missing signed pages, damages, etc. Would anyone here be comfortable buying an unopened book from Ebay?

THeres two, because I had to return my book because there wasnt a signature in the s/l.
I know of one also, she had to send it back for replacement.THeres two, because I had to return my book because there wasnt a signature in the s/l.

Mulleins, has she got her replacement back from S&S? If so, how long did it take? sorry for all the questions.
I think it took roughly 14 days for the whole process. She felt very uncomfortable sending her book but they did take care of it. A very nice copy showed back up. I'm going to be selling it for her. $385 shipped.

Looks like a cool set guys. Hmmm, might have to check out Ebay.
It is. Very well done. The "Modern Classics" angle was what struck me more than anything. Plus I love Asimov and the "Foundation" series as well.

Re: The leatherbound "Modern Classics" set above. The OCD personality in me is ripping his hair out due to Stephen King titles not being in any sort of order whatsoever. Not chronological, not alphabetical ... why would they DO that!? Why why why!?
To upset you. It worked.
LOL Shannon. What struck me from the get go was that they included NS a collection of short stories and not another novel.

They are in the exact order my favorite to my least favorite of the four titles. It's really pretty simple.
I think I'd have to swap "Salem's and Night Shift and then it would be the same for me...They are in the exact order my favorite to my least favorite of the four titles. It's really pretty simple.
I would love to own that IT original art!
I had to return my s/l 11/22/63 cause it was damaged in shipping. And yeah, I have a perfect copy back now and it took about two weeks.
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
I wonder if S&S has the sense to sell all these damaged books or if they'll just desroy them.
They should have a Scratch & Dent sale!
People that could not afford might get a second chance and mostly these damages are minor! :-)

Havent been on for a while but I thot I would update anyone who followed my S&S horror story: I did get the SL and turned around and sold it for just over 400, but I also got the trade edition from them which I was going to send back (if you recall I had cancelled that order) but turns out they credited my credit card not only for the trade edition but also for "shipping" that in fact I never actually paid. So I ended up making a nice profit on the SL and getting a free 1st1st trade out of it. S&S do suck but at least my story has a satisfactory ending...
I thot I would post this one. I compared his early sigs (theres pics on a thread here somewhere) and there are similarities. Tho I dont think this is signed by King I think its worthy of posting...

I seriously doubt that is Stephen King's note and signature.
