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

[jhanic]

The buyer of the $750 copy has a feedback rating of 1. I wonder just how naive he/she is. I also wonder how that seller got at least two copies.

It is really cool. I wonder why the plaque says #3 of 250?

Rachael was doing an edition of 250 I believe you could get it in a pewter or bronze finish and the first 19 were hand painted like the one in the auction they were around 300.00 and the pewter/bronze were 100.00? less. I have #11, I think I remember Bob got one, and Stephen King, can't remember who else.

If I was smart, I'd have had every co-worker near me order one and pay em back. That's how you get more than 1.

I have a hand painted one, too (#13 - same as my Cujo guitar), and it's absolutely beautiful. It came in a satin lined, padded, box - which the seller doesn't mention.

I did forget to mention it is beautiful the pictures do not do it justice and even the box was beautiful.

I suspect it will sell for considerably under the original price and someone will get a great deal.

Anyone know why Jimmy's selling his? Makes me kinda sad . . .

Any thoughts on the starting price of this auction? Mr. Rabbit Trick perhaps? I mean, I know it's far from a desirable copy from a collector's point of view, but still.... it would fill a hole in my collection. But paying at least £99 for an ex-library copy seems a lot of money.

It's a library 'permabound' book in very bad condition. I would say it would be worth about £15 to £20 only.

Thanks Mr. RT, that's what I was thinking. I'll skip this one, then.

Good luck Patrick, it really is a wonderful piece.

I bought this pencil drawing on Stephen King's house in Bangor today for $25 on eBay. I just thought the detail was pretty great and it kinda "called to me." For $25, I'm happy.

David
real nice drawing! $25-great deal...

[Randall Flagg]

Wow. I presume it's an original. Looking forward to you receiving it and seeing a high resolution image.

Anyone ever seen this before? It seems pretty unique.

Does anyone know the links to, or have copies of, the photos of Steve opening HIS copy of this (along with our book)?

[Patrick]

Hi Ceri! Yes, I believe the photos/link were posted here on TDT.com, so they are here somewhere...

Also I may have the links bookmarked on my work computer. I'll try to remember to check tomorrow.

Another item which sold for well under the issue price.

I can understand why. This piece of artwork has a special significance with the members of tdt.net, but to everyone else, it is only a piece of fanart.

[Brice]

But, it is one baddass piece of fanart.

[Gris]

anyone here bidding on this?

Not me

The fanart in question (above) is stunning. I'm also surprised by the closing price

I agree that it is stunning, but I also agree with Mr. R.T. in that it is fan art in a down economy, with likely more sentimental value to participants in the book tour for which it was created than to the general DT fan.




I look forward to its arrival.

Congrats Patrick, you got an incredible deal

You will be amazed how much better it is in person.

[gsvec]

I look forward to its arrival.

I was so hoping it was you! Congratulations!!

Congrats on the buy - it's a VERY good price.

Did you ever find those links? I'd really love to have a copy of King holding the book and statue.
