Looks like the numbered edition from Centipede Press. I thought none of them were signed by King?
But I still do not remember this being offered.
It wasn't offered for sale publicly. I read that is was offered to Centipede Press lifetime subscribers. Only 100 copies.Went back and looked at it again, it is in a clamshell case.

I can't imagine anyone would pass on the opportunity to purchase if offered. Even if they don't want it they can make a good profit on it.
Thanks for the info. I see a hole in my wallet developing.
Only 100 made and were $1500.
Went to lifetimers!

So King and Jerad are friends again? Good!
Beautiful book btw.
With the sale of the lone Long Walk deluxe yesterday on eBay, that's probably the only time you'll see it sold that cheap. I expect, If any more pop up, they'll probably be priced double, triple, quadruple or more the original $1500 asking price. Has anybody posted photos of an open book yet? It would be nice to see, especially for those of us who'll never have an opportunity of obtaining one. You know, to drool over.
High quality from Centipede Press and only 100 issued to life subscribers I believe.
So chances are there may well be quite a number on the secondary market.
Back to your comment Elliot, I believe you are correct, could not fathom out the price of the one you mention on eBay.
However I would not be surprised to see these somewhere between $7,500 - $10,000. Perhaps 30 copies will not complement the collecting habits of the 100 subscribers involved.
One things for certain, if you pay $7,500 for example, at least you are going to see it on your shelf, which makes a refreshing change to parting with thousands of dollars to Cemetery Dance and looking at empty spaces!!
I think this is actually a 33rd printing:

Definitely. Mine is the 23rd.
I sent a quick note about it, he thanked me but as of yet hasn't updated the listing.
Someone got a sweet deal. Inscribed first edition of Thinner:

I had a final bid of $7950 on the set and it also told me in was the highest bidder. Such a poorly run auction. They did reply and say the owner wanted more for it. Huh? Oh well..

Nothing underhanded at all. The auction is not advertised as absolute which would mean a no reserve auction. Some lots had reserves set reasonably below the low estimate. Sorry you were disappointed however I do not recall most auctions stating reserves in advance unless you are bidding on eBay, which this is not. The set will either be offered again with a reduced reserve or our consignor might accept one of the many offer we have received post sale.

That was a great catch Kris. It sucks to have bid on something, won, and not get it. It would piss me off even more to dump a bunch of money on something and find out it was worth less than half of what I paid and completely misrepresentedThey learned that from me. I had pictures. It was 100% mis represented. I told them when they said they won... again shiity auctionWow. Agree - there was nothing I saw in there about a minimum reserve.

Good price even for a lettered PC. I paid 50% more just a year ago...

Is this SK signed copy of Moth on eBay as rare as the seller is claiming? Is it worth the asking price? Seller just bought this from another seller for less than $3000 a few days ago. That would be an impressive flip.

Saw the previous posting at $5K which was unsold for a couple of weeks and didn't think it was worth anything near that price. Unless someone needs to launder money, doubt the new seller can recoup much from his $3K purchase price.
