He's just redecorating, of course.
Oh, I almost forgot ... WTF?!

This PC version does not have the Traycase and all the extras that were with the Lettered edition.
Mad skills.There's another one via weathervane - a bit cheaper, no tear, and can make an offer:
Stephen King Dean Koontz Clive Barker Peter Straub Dystopia Signed/Lmt x26

(I don't know how to make my link look as nice as RF)
Actually I just copy the verbiage on the ebay page. You can also right click on the image and "copy image location" to insert the image.
Example (red circle is the text you would highlight and C&P in post; green square is the image you would right click and copy image location to insert the pic in a post):
'Salem's Lot, Stephen King, SIGNED
Well I bought one of these because the picture in the listing was of an advance uncorrected proof. I thought it might be too good to be true and I was right. It showed up today and is just the trade paperback. Now the seller has changed the picture in the listing. Not sure what to do. I guess I'll just keep it. It's such a hassle to return things. I'm still bummed though.
Give them neg rep
I can't really do that (in good conscience) because they have a good return policy. Would you give them negative rep for sending the wrong item if they offered to take it back?
The same thing happened to me. I just thought I may have misread the listing.Well I bought one of these because the picture in the listing was of an advance uncorrected proof.

We didn't misread the listing. The listing didn't say it was a proof. But the picture in the listing was definitely of a proof. It's been changed now though.The same thing happened to me.

Not if they accepted the return. I guess I missed the "hassle" part (and easy return). Returns are almost always a PITA, even when one receives a full refund. I get the fact of the pent up anticipation.I can't really do that (in good conscience) because they have a good return policy. Would you give them negative rep for sending the wrong item if they offered to take it back?
I emailed the publicity person about possibly getting a proof and she (she's actually the editor of the volume) told me that the proofs had all been distributed last year; there are none left. Oddly enough, she's located in Akron, which is relatively close to me.

Bookplates inserted:
Autographed Stephen King Paperbacks
STEPHEN KING: ES (German 'IT') Limited 112/250
Hm. I would like to get that set of paperbacks (they look pretty nice) but not 'signed', per se.
Sorry this happened, especially because it was me who posted the link. Are you sure the listing didn't say it wasn't a proof or an ARC? I already have that book and I don't think I would have even clicked on it if it didn't mention it was an ARC/proof. I've made mistakes and have bought books in haste thinking it was a good deal but this one is really bugging me. I was pretty excited when I saw it - it was a King book and his name wasn't even listed. I can't imagine why I'd PM John a link to a trade paperback that's actually more expensive than what it costs from Amazon. Hmm.We didn't misread the listing. The listing didn't say it was a proof.

Again, I'm really sorry this happened.
I don't know if this was posted yet so here you go. On advanced readers copy of On Writing and proofs of Desperation (ugly stain on cover) and Rose Madder. Currently at $29.99 with no bidders. To the collectors of these things, how is the price?

Here is a link to the auction as it was originally listed. The picture is of a proof/arc but I don't think that the listing title or text says that it is a proof/arc.Sorry this happened, especially because it was me who posted the link.

Link comes up dead for me. Says past 90 days.
Interesting. It works for me. Maybe because I was a buyer from that listing?
It comes up dead for me too. I was a buyer also.

I think they have the wrong picture:
Full Dark, No Stars Stephen King Signed Limited Traycased Cemetery Dance
I will sell you my signed copy for far less than $250:
Stephen King's son Owen King We're All In This Together Signed Mint RARE
$800 for a PC. Too expensive? You decide:
STEPHEN KING CHRISTINE SIGNED LIMITED BOOK IN SLIPCASE W/ BRAND NEW DUST JACKET!
I wonder if this could be easily repaired? I might take a donation copy and tear it, then see if it can be done:
Stephen King Signed JFK Assassination Book 4 of 5 for Book Club
Must be the day for the wrong pic:
The Green Mile Stephen King 6 Book Slipcased Set Subterranean Press VF
Definitely it can be repaired. I'll bet George Sargent at Dragonfly Bindery could fix it for about $25 and no one would ever know. I think the "Buy It Now" price is really good for that book.
