Too expensive (IMO), but pretty rare to see one of these actually signed/inscribed by King:

You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
$90 shipping is pretty high, but International rates are insane.
I predict (unless it's pulled) >$600
Quote me to see if I am prescient.
"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

Dolan's Cadillac S/L, nice starting bid.

After purchasing my Dark Tower prop yesterday, I looked around the Original Prop section on eBay to see what else was out there. Came across this one, which I promptly bought two of (one for my Cool Shit shelf and one for a Christmas present):

First I've seen of these promo items. VERY cool! $100 BIN seems outrageous, but only time will tell.
Stephen King It Movie Promotional Items Balloon Button
Confession. I couldn't resist, and made an offer the seller couldn't refuse.
Confession #2. I was the seller, and I wish I made my kids grab more from the booth at Boston FanExpo yesterday. Alas, I did not. Jerome's right; I couldn't refuse his offer, because the wife is mad at me for trying to get an extra $10 out of someone who made a best offer last night.
HERE'S THAT small BUTTON AGAIN!
Confession #3. I was figured I would flip it to a member for $75 (Free shipping). I know, I know, 50% upcharge is almost...perhaps is usary, but some member here is going to want it (I don't), so I grabbed it before an unknown ebay buyer would.
Ok. I'm feeling guilty now.
I'll sell the $50 purchase to someone (maybe), for $55.
Not counting time and effort, a tidy 10% profit.
Wait...a 10% return on an investment in a 10 day period is gross...
This post will be moved very soon to the
Buying things specifically to sell for a profit.
thread.
Sorry to get off topic for a minute...but I'm irritated. Lol.
I was at BCC on Saturday(solely to meet Tim Curry. Mission accomplished!)and it was a giant cluster. Where were the IT items? Did they have a booth set up? I missed it in that giant crowded mess. Just curious. Thank you
Damn. I can't even flip mine now.
