Be careful though. If you put this on the shelf next to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, you may end up with the cops busting you for fictitious child endangerment.

This auction might be an easy way for someone to jumpstart an HC collection of (mostly) firsts.

SO I GUESS $31.00 was a good deal on this one!Originally Posted by CRinVA
Tippy,
This auction intrigues me - why you ask?
Well I won one of these advertising posters (signed) in a Simon and Schuster online contest. I eventually sold it becasue I had no intention of ever framing it and hanging it in my home. Well, I would have, but my better half put the kabosh on that idea, so I decided to make some $$$ to help purchase something else. As I recall, I got somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 - $200 for it and the buyer was none other than Stu Tinker of Betts Books!
Now what really intrigued me on this acution is the picture of the post laying flat with SK books holding it down. Here are two pics I used in my auction three and a half years ago! Look similar! There are not the same pic but they are similar! :-)
This signature is as real as it gets! I received this poster direct from S&S in a rolled tube.
and here being held down by some Dark Tower books.
I should say so. Did you get it Explorer?

I had a 30 dollar bid on that but was asleep when it ended, damn time difference.

Yes I actually did... unexpectantly.. has added a fairly low bid 5 hours out and forgot about it. Was surprised when found I won yesterday.
I wonder what the actual shipping will be.
There's a note that says ebay only allows you to indicate $4.00 for shipping but that actual shipping will be higher.
I should think so !

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
Previously discussed here, but with less than 1 day to go, this signed Stand is at almost $700! Way way overpriced imo, and I'm sure half of you are thinking shill bidding as it is a Tim Miller auction.

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Either that or the market for SK books has come roaring back.

Not that I am saying there is shill bidding going on, BUT, e***p (5) has 28 bids on 15 items in the last 30 days, ALL of which are Tim Miller's...
AND, it really seems like e***p (5) really wants this copy of The Stand.....
It's just a coincidence.Not that I am saying there is shill bidding going on
Yes, thanks for pointing out the obvious. Although i'd be more than happy to sell my Chadbourne CC for $385.They have been selling below the issue price recently.Speaking of overpriced:

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that theres shill bidding going on with Shocklines auctions too.

THIS is too big of a coincidence....
28 bids on 15 items with only 5 actual wins..come on... that is simply garbage....
pretty poor....
Update on this. I'd suggest to anyone NOT to buy these. I guess I expected too much, and given the price they are bad. BUT, its pretty poorly constructed, the seams are noticeable, and the "leather" (definitely not leather) doesn't wrap into the case far enough. It looks quite nice, but reeks of the glue used, and traps the book inside!
Live and learn!
Eric- Thanks for the heads-up...I was looking at these but kinda figured at that price.....thank you for being the guinea pig!!!Update on this. I'd suggest to anyone NOT to buy these.

haha no worries, it cost me $15 all told, and if it had worked out I'd have considered it a bargain.Eric- Thanks for the heads-up...I was looking at these but kinda figured at that price.....thank you for being the guinea pig!!!Update on this.

Ari--
Audrey recalls that she charged $250 for most of them (some commissioned, more elaborate ones she charged more), and told me she WAY undercharged.
When I asked her if she/Michael were going to do these again with LSOE, she said that she had something else in mind. But, she consulted with me as to what the original remarques sold for in the secondary market and based on that knowledge asked me if I thought the market would bear $1,000 per remarque and I said yes, but that she likely wouldn't get too many requests at a price that high. As far as I know, Michael has NO PLANS to do remarques for sale on his site. He has multiple other projects already lined up for this spring.
