Yes it is a relist. The original asking price was $2000. No chance!Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller
The price seems very high to me. This is a relist. I think he was intially asking $2K or $2.5K. Still, I think it is overpriced. But you are right....you don't see that one signed very often.

I would say, if the magazine is in excellent condition, $200 for the magazine and $250-300 for the autograph.

i bought mine...near fine condition...without the sig... several years ago... bought the duo at the same time from betts...here's what i paid for them:
STARTLING MYSTERY STORIES 1967- The Glass Floor: King's 1st Professional OPP 220.00
STARTLING MYSTERY STORIES 1969 - The Reaper: King's 2nd Professional Sale OPP 175.00
so the they averaged 197.50 ea. for me... several years ago.
the tiny nicks described in this guy's auction might drop the condition from near fine to very good...but i'm a hard judge on condition.
i agree with john, the early sig. would probably add a couple of hundred+ to the final price.
1000.00 is definitely to much IMHO- unless of course he sells it for that... in that case then it was price perfectly.
I actually have a complete run of Startling Mystery Stories that I bought as they came out (50 cents each!). But my copies are only in fair to good condition--I bought them to read them and did so many times. (I was a big fan of Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin back then, and every other issue had a story in it.) There are a total of 18 issues.

I'd be curious to see pictures of your collec...I've got this one and the 'The Reaper's Image' one signed by King. Got them done at the Lisey's tour in the UK.
You seems to be a quite impressive collector...
I'm just a beginner! I don't have any pictures other than what's been posted here.I'd be curious to see pictures of your collec...

I plan to make up a website with my collection when the weather improves. I will post the link when it's done. Don't hold your breath though waiting for good weather! Did you know the Scottish summer is on a Wednesday this year?
Yeah when i did read "when the weather improves" i wanted to say that you'll not start soon.. it was f*****g windy yesterday night, and its "snowing" (melted snow?) again... (looks like a blizzard lol)
UK 1st Dolores Claiborne signed
Signature looks good to me (but I am no expert).
If legit, $199 BIN is not a bad price.
All 4 Bachman PB's in custom case.
$771 BIN is crazy, but perhaps it will sell below that.
DTIV Promo Chapbook
If you want it, $15 is not the end of the world.
The DT IV chapbook didnt sell since the last time? was already 15, and i was sure that it would have be sold quickly!
Here is an auction for a UK paperback edition of DUMA KEY.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123
I asked the seller if the listing was correct, hoping it might be an ARC. But he says it is just a retail book. I guess what surprises me is that the paperback edition seems to be issued simultaneously with the hardback edition which is counter to usual marketing strategy.
I wonder if this is one of those "international editions" that often appear in Europe that are only sold post-security at airports.
That's correct Bev. Hodder & Stoughton issue the identical paperback at the same time as the hardback at airports. I buy these on release day to read and save my harback copy from wear. I think they are sold to reduce the weight of the hardback.
Interesting. Thanks, guys, for the explanation.That's correct Bev. Hodder & Stoughton issue the identical paperback at the same time as the hardback at airports. I buy these on release day to read and save my harback copy from wear. I think they are sold to reduce the weight of the hardback.
The softcover editions are often distributed in Australia, too, many times a week or two before the "official" UK publishing date. I've gotten a couple of these.

A first Day cover signed in felt tip ink near the stamp bu stefen King, item in very good condition - RARE - A certificate of authenticity is joigned.
about $163 (110€)
First day of issue of what?
I dont see the point to send such an envelop..
About the sig? (which looks really really bad...)
btw, when i asked about the certificate, here is what the seller sent me :
It's a day-of-issue of the stamp. Fairly common thing. I can't for the life of me think of a single reason why King would sign such a thing!
If you look at the line which describes the item (First Day Cover) it does not fit the rest of the certificate. An obvious fake.btw, when i asked about the certificate, here is what the seller sent me :
DUMA KEY BOOK ADVERTISING POSTER
Pretty cheap! The title of the offer is referring to a Steven King, so that's probably why it's currently cheap with no bid...
2 days remains...
Stephen King Rose Madder & Hearts in Atlantis ARC Lot
Both for $49.99 BIN. Starting price $29.99.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Stephen-King-Ros...QQcmdZViewItem
common proofs, but definitely worth the price.

The BIN is a little high, based on the condition of each book (water damage, etc.). Abebooks has "fine" copies of these two listed for $20-$25 apiece. "Very good" copies for less.
I just noticed that Secret Windows is still available from the Book of the Month Club ($14.95 + s/h for members):
