Even if the book was made out to a random 'Brian', I've never understood seeking books out that have a specific named inscription. Getting inscribed books because it may be dated, or help prove authenticity, would make more sense. If I owned this copy of BOBD, I wouldn't feel any sort of connection to it, even though it was inscribed to someone who shares my name.

will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
T.S. Eliot -
Although, personally I've never understood the preference over a flatsigned to an inscription, and the special dislike for having "someone else's" name in a book (even if Stephen King wrote that name). I rarely go flatsigned (unless I can't seem to find an inscribed alternative). If my inscription says "For Refrigerator, all best, Stephen King", that's preferable to me over a flatsigned as long as Stephen King wrote "Refrigerator". And I don't see how one could have more of a "connection" to a book if it was flat signed versus inscribed to someone else (because, of course, that flatsigned copy is also not specifically to the re-purchaser - is it even to the person who had it signed?) But, I suppose this is an age-old debate with pros and cons, and is a fashion that goes in cycles...
Should anyone here decide to purchase it but would prefer a flat-signed, I would be happy to make an even trade for my flat-signed BOBD.
I prefer inscribed copies and would buy it myself but just a little short on funds at the moment.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

Does Camelot watch this place? This is an interesting paragraph to include for customers... And the, "Don't really care if we sell it"??
"Price $2500.00 - NO LAY-AWAY -Why? Don't really care if we sell it, but but because of the recent activity regarding the sale of this title on the boards we figured it was a good time to do two things, 1) figure out exactly what it might be worth, we have no idea, we generally just go by what they are selling for and what other people are saying. One website says $1500 to $2000, obviously $1750 is apparently way too low, another site has suggested it should be worth closer to $3000.00, we have no idea, but are curious to find out if $2500 is too high or maybe even too cheap...if it sells quick the arguement is it is too cheap, if it does not sell, too high, if it sits for awhile and then sells, maybe "just right;" and 2) maybe someone who doesn't have one but wants one will be able to get one."
