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

[Kingfan24]

I talked to that guy with Carrie last night and actually bid on it. He cancelled the bids and relisted. I checked his feedback, and although he doesn't have any recent negatives, he does have quite a few.

I'm sure you'll be fine but personally, when I see a multiple negative feedbacks, I can't commit hundreds of dollars even if it's a good deal.

I threw those books on my watch list to see what they would go for (no intentions on bidding) and was a little leery of it after he took them down and relisted them.

I get how RF wants this thread to be another reason people come to this forum for everything King, but hear what you guys are saying. Yes, if its posted here, its probably gonna get more air time on eBay than it would have otherwise.

As someone who doesn't proactively search eBay that often, I love coming here to see what cool items are around.

When I find something that hasn't been posted in this thread that I want, I hope it NEVER gets listed. Of course, I've found things posted in this thread that I would have missed otherwise. A mixed blessing.

I hear you - I would not buy a car from that guy for sure since that is where his negatives came from. He was very specific on the quality of the book in his description and the pics looked good so I was willing to risk it given the recourse available if he is a flake.

I have mixed feeling about this thread....because on the one hand, there are things I miss...but on the other hand, there are things I find that I want others to miss.

I just won THIS Gunslinger, for what I think was a good (not great but good) price.

Damn You! I was the next highest bidder on that! - the auction ended at around 4am local time and I had to go to bed. I left a best bid that I thought would seal the deal, but obviously not...

EXACTLY !!.

I agree with above and with what Tippy said. This morning I am the only member viewing this thread but 32 "guests" are viewing it at the same time. Thats a lot of competition. But on the other hand RF has posted items Ive missed in my searches and was able to pick up at pretty decent prices.

[Highbury]

How about locking the forum being viewed unless signed in? It obviously doesn't quash it because it just requires someone signing up but hopefully it also promotes conversation, discussion and contirbutions?

I can't chirp much because I'm new to the forum and with a house full of kids I don't get much time for me but RF is the man to me along with others who are spending a copious amount of time bringing up items out there to look for and also ones to stay the hell away from. I owe a great deal of gratitude for that, might as well plant it here.

As far as I am concerned, keep up the great work. Some things I can buy, some things I can't. Such is life, the market in general isn't cheap and if it bugs me that much I'll step back from it.

That does bring up a thought: I wonder if there is a way to make some forums "Member Only" or if RF would even want that option?

I think the thread 'Starkblast" is member only and cannot be viewed by guests, so there is a way to do it.

[Ari_Racing]

If I truly wanted something, I would never ever post it in this thread and if it DID get posted I would put on my "Be nice, be gentle" hat and try to talk the poster into deleting his or her posting. It's worked about half of the times I've done it.

My feelings exactly. I've been asked before to delete an auction I shared here and it was perfect. But, at the same time, if I see something odd that usually is seeked by someone in particular (for example, I know JHanic looks for proofs) I won't post it here but send a DM to the seeker.

30 of those are probably bots.

At least that was my experience moderating on another site years back.

Any/all of the areas (other than the main page) could be restricted to members only. A password could also be required, just to make it more cumbersome for a potential new member.
The thing is the site is not "The Fight Club". If interested non-members check out the site and there is nothing to see that inspires them to join, the site will die.

[Garrell]

Agree

[Ben Staad]

Agreed unless you want this site to become a "club".

I had to go to bed as well....but I set my alarm to wake me up 3 min before the auction ended.
