I had to pull the original listing because of an error in the postage costs calculated by ebay themselves. I initially tried listing the books directly onto ebay.com but found that a buyer living in the US would only be charged $6 USD for international shipping from the UK, whereas if someone had purchased the book only 2 miles down the road from me, they were going to be charged $65 USD postage.looks like they are under a new listingAuction pulled.

I relisted the book on ebay.co.uk to correct this problem and purchased the visibility upgrade, so that the listing can be seen by people living in the US and Canada.

Insomnia #459

I guess this sale will answer the question on whether having #1 adds value...
Tim, if the owner of #1 Carrie contacted you and offered it for $400 would you buy it?
(TBC - i DONT have it! - I'm just interested to know what it's worth to you)
"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 would never allow someone to hold me to ransom like that.
PS Publishing messed up my matching set of books, so I see at as their responsibility to put things right. If someone came forward and offered me copy #1 of Carrie at any price, I would publically direct them to PS Publishing with their offer to see how prepared they are to rectify things.
To be clear, I have already paid PS Publishing for my #1 Carrie. I am not prepared to pay out again in order to obtain a copy of the book that is rightfully mine.

I understand your sentiments, but that wasn't what I was alluding to. You have set the price of your 2 #1's at a point considerably higher than other copies that are for sale. As the only difference is that yours are #1 then this is what you feel warrants the price. It's interesting that you used the term "held for ransom" when the book would be offered at the same price you are asking for yours.

I'm not judging, just looking for discussion around a subject that has been left unanswered before - "what if any is the value of a number #1 book?"
"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 would suppose that copies #1 and #19 would be of slightly more interest than any random number, unless the random number held personal significance. For example, 36 is my number. I normally don't buy numbered editions, but I'd be tempted for a #36... and I would actually love to add Insomnia #36 to my collection, as it's my favorite King book with my favorite number. If I HAD to buy a numbered book other than #36, I would think #1 or #19 would be "cooler" to have than, say, #24 or #11. Not that the book has more intrinsic value with that number, but that it may be more desirable by others and therefore more costly to obtain.
The same could be said if two people on this forum had the same number. If you were also a #36 fan and someone offered up Insomnia #36 at auction, we might bid each other up even though that book is no more valuable than any other number to any other collector.
Agreed, but I feel this is slightly different. your scenario is around how much extra you would pay in order to secure a specific number that matches your collection - which is understandable and is entirely down to you, your personal finances or other personal factors in deciding just how much extra that is. This auction has a set price and a specific value added because it's number 1.
I wish Tim every success in his sale, but what I wonder is; does number #1 add that much value? I suppose only time will tell.

My scenario still stands in that the seller is one of the collectors adding personal value to the item. If I had copy #36 of Insomnia but decided to sell it, I would list it at the price it would be worth to me. If you were that other #36 collector, you might have no qualms agreeing that my value is the same as your value. A #11 collector would not find it worth that amount. But I don't care if a #11 collector buys it. I want to sell it at the value I feel it is worth and hope that other #36 collectors will feel it is worth. I don't care if it sits there for months unsold, I don't need the money and I would rather keep it on my shelf than let it go for less than it is worth to me. (The same can be said of just about any item listed above or below the average price - it's all about what the seller feels it is worth to them.)
Now, if I needed to sell it I would have to list it at a price that even #11 collectors would find reasonable. I think what Tim is doing is just fine. He values #1 at this amount and believes that some other #1 collector may feel the same. (I tend to agree with him, because there is that small added bonus of being able to say, "I'm Number One!") Is it fair to collectors who don't care about which number they receive? Well... I don't care if a book is signed or not. But signed editions aren't listed at higher rates for the people who do care. I think most remarques decrease the value of the book, but there are sellers who disagree. I think this falls into that category.
Your question is, should #1 be more valuable simply because it is #1... and, like any item, I think that is up to the seller and the buyer to decide.
Now, if it were me... I'd be doing the same. Because I really DO want to keep my items, but am selling because of a mix-up. And my items might just work as bait for whoever ended up with my other #1... and I might just be able to negotiate something to keep my #1s and get what is rightfully mine. Mwa hahaha! But. That's just me.
Thats a well argued point (although I would maintain that the number of people that will value it the same way is pretty damn small) and you are quite right about value being both seller and buyer driven - at the end of the day both parties should be happy with the transaction for it to be a good sale.
Without wanting to go more off topic, who thinks this will pull the Carrie #1 owner from their hiding place? Could you resist completing the matching #1's ?
