Intriguing Stephen King/King Related/Dark Tower Auctions-Sales

[Randall Flagg]

Shameless self promotion-still less than $10 and only a few hours left:

Only $11, but a pretty shabby dj:

Sucks for the seller, unless of course they actually pay. I doubt it, but we shall see. Everyone starts at zero.

I am dealing with another 0 Bidder.

Here is the winners of the last few auctions for the IT Gift Edition. "If it looks like a duck and walks/quack/flies etc. like a duck, it is a duck."

A little to mysterious in my book. Which like I stated in a previous thread is why I joined to learn, and to find reputable sellers to rebuild my collection.

Regarding the Cavalier magazines: The March, 1973 and the June, 1977 are not in real nice condition. But the March, 1971 looks to be in primo condition and, IMO, worth every bit of $40. Cavalier magazines are not rare but it is pretty hard to assemble a VF/NM set of Cavaliers with King stories.

Then someone here should snag it.

I actually won an auction from the same seller for the same item for $36 about a week ago and received it today. Don't know if I would agree with the LIKE NEW description, but for a 42 year old magazine, I really was not expecting LIKE NEW. Nonetheless, I am happy with my purchase.

[Randall Flagg]

I would ask several questions to truly ascertain it truly is a 1st edition before shelling out $400. Additional photos of book and DJ would also be nice.
Stephen King "The Dead Zone" First Edition Autographed/Dated�VF and Scarce

Don't see these too often. Starts at $225:
'The House Next Door' hand-signed by Anne Rivers Siddons AND Stephen King



I think overpriced, particularly with owners signature in it.

Is it best to leave pencil lines like that alone or if erased will it increase the value?

[thegunslinger41]

Shameful self promo...hoping it at least gets to $150.

Personally I don't think pencil notations adversely affect value. If you get a good quality, nonabrasive eraser you can erase most every pencil marking completely. But I would never try to erase notations on a collectible book with an eraser on the end of a pencil. Those can sometimes (often) do more harm than good. Get a good eraser at an office supply store and you should be good to go.

Bookseller pencil marks like that don't bother me one bit. So, for *this* collector, there would not be an impact on value.

[jhanic]

I agree. Light pencil marks detract nothing from the value.

I third that.
doesn't bother me either. Kind of nice to see something sold for way more than I paid for it at one point

I was hoping to get that book, until I logged on 45 minutes before it ended and it was up 147 with that 0 buyer on it, so I passed. Ended up at 160. What do one of you guys just want me to not get one? LOL J/K of course

Last night seller bookmint placed 7 of them up for "Buy It Now" at $125 each in an hour and a half of the auction posting all sold with one ebayer buying 5. I am officially out of the bidding I was trying not to go to much higher than the $125 issue price. It just seems like someone is having a good time upping the prices. I looked for feedback from the sellers to the buyers on the auctions that ended, and found only one where a seller left feedback.

[Randall Flagg]

I think $20K for a non-matching set is a fantasy.

Issue price ($75):

This set has been on eBay for $20K for years now. Same guy reposting the same set for the same price. Over and over and over.

Bookmint is great - they just put up several books at issue price in past few days - I just bought the artists edition WTTK from them. Plus the Centipede press Salem's lot that RF already mentioned

PS publishing just sent out an email of a trio of King sale - in case interested:

THREE KINGS
Resplendent in a rather fetching floral apron and wielding a mean- looking feather duster, Mike is still hell-bent on tidying around his beloved and precious book-laden shelves. So he has come up with yet another goofy offer to separate you guys from your spare loot. Or even your un-spare loot . . . like maybe a little stash which you were ear-marking to use to buy food tomorrow. Well, before you throw those notes away recklessly on simple sustenance, check out this week’s special offer . . . a splendidly right royal triptych, if you will. Namely three books written by the King:
THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE (special facsimile-signed and slipcased edition with additional color artwork, originally offered @ £100);
ONE FOR THE ROAD (featuring 18 full-color illustrations by James Hannah and originally offered to discerning PS chums £75); and
LISEY’S STORY (the regular UK First Edition, originally £19.99)
Total cost if bought separately would be £195 . . . The SPECIAL OFFER PRICE for our 3 KINGS bundle = £79.99 plus postage (£4.99 UK; £7.99 Europe, US & Canada; £9.99 rest of the world)
But please do note that we have fewer than 15 of these sets available (and before all you math profs start writing in to claim a No-Prize for guessing exactly how many we’ve got, forget it!) so order now before they’re all gone.

[WeDealInLead]

I ordered that package deal. Slowly crossing books of the 2013 goals list.

[carlosdetweiller]

"splendidly right royal triptych." Seriously, Peter?

Never heard of this one - but it is interesting:
