Today someone grabbed a copy at Abebooks of The Gunslinger 1st (no jacket) for 100 bucks. It lasted only a couple of minutes.

Got a note a couple of hours ago from the seller saying she just shipped it out to me. Actually, though, I bought it yesterday.

[Ari_Racing]

LOL. That was fast, Bob. Congratulations.

[Jimimck]

Now thats a good steal. Especially if you have a spare dustjacket (which I'm assuming Bob does...)

[Randall Flagg]

If not, I know where Bob can find one...

[biomieg]

I saw that! I'm slightly frustrated I missed it... I still need to upgrade my Gunslinger 2nd edition to a 1st (it's the only missing 1st edition in my collection)...

Bob, did you know I'm getting married in June? A 1st ed. Gunslinger would be an awesome gift (even without DJ)... just sayin'....

[TwistedNadine]

I saw that one too (was notified by Abe of the new listing) but when I went to jump on it was already gone.
Bob's got gunslinger buying speed

[carlosdetweiller]

Just got lucky on that one. Caught it real soon after it was listed.

[Ari_Racing]

Yes, I know...I was able to add it to the cart but couldn't finish the process. One minute before and I'd have been able to buy it. Well, shit happens

Congrats. If it's in decent shape that is a hell of a buy.

I didn't know you could do that on Abe. How do you set up notifications of new listings?

You "create a want." You fill in the want parameters like author, title, publisher, etc. Just like doing a search but you are creating a "want." When books matching your want parameters are listed you get an e-mail notification.

I'm not sure how quickly the notification is sent. I've clicked on books almost immediately after I've gotten the notification only to find them already sold. Maybe they are sent out once a day like eBay wants are sent.

Thanks Bob!

It took me awhile to find out that option, about a year ago. Actually, i asked abebooks about it, and they told me where to find it...

I've put a few Want searches in there this afternoon, that have already generated a few emails back to me. I'm definitely liking this feature!

It's been very helpful for me too. But as I mentioned earlier I don't think you get e-mail notification immediately after a book is listed. I think they may get sent out to you once a day or something. There is still no substitute for manual frequent searches. Sometimes the book will be already sold by the time you get e-mail notification.

[George at C-Springs]

This one arrived today from across the pond (thanks Tom!).



These came in yesterday (German and Greek The Twelve)

Congratulations!

I've just received the new TWTTK paperback edition from Hodder & Stoughton:
