I must've wondered into the wrong thread. I swear this one was Intriguing SK/SK related/DT Auctions. Seems Alan's financial state of being has become more so.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Just post a copy of your bank statement and let's be done with it.
Best King item I've seen on ebay for ages...
STEPHEN KING Rare Copy of Manuscript + Unpublished Work On "My Pretty Pony"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/STEPHEN-KING...EAAOSw42JZJ5uJ
I mean they said they wouldn't make any more and we know that all eBay sellers are truthful.
"In addition to the copy of the letter and the manuscript offered here, both I and the former publishing executive to whom Alan Williams handed over this package to copy and keep would be willing and happy to sign and notarize a letter stating that we will not release any additional copies of this material in the future."
If the seller was able to provide enough verifiable provenance that this is the original submission manuscript - even as a copy - then it would still have value.
Manuscript material comes up so infrequently that I wouldn't even begin to estimate what it is worth. Is it worth 4-5K? I guess we will find out soon enough if someone thinks so.

If the whereabouts of the "original" is not known and there is no expectation it will ever show up, AND this is the only copy, then for all intents and purposes it might as well be an original.

"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 dont collect movie props, but if i did that would be a pretty damn cool one to have!

The same auction is also selling Andy Dufresne's and Red's prison outfits...
