5 bids, $24.61:
Stephen King The Stand complete and uncut-advance proof copy Hardback 1st/1st
Zero bids, $250:
Rare Stephen King Carrie Arc - Cemetery Dance
About an hour and a half left and currently at $4,750.
Stephen King The Stand Uncorrected Proof (ARC)--Extremely Rare!
Wish I had an extra $5K!!
Besides, Carrie, which we all know is basically impossible, that was the only oblong proof I am lacking...
So, did I hear in another thread that the winner is Chris Cavalier?

There were three different bidders (including the winner) who bid $4350 or higher.Apparently only Chris did.
If a Carrie proof in similar condition were offered on eBay I would definitely bid aggressively for it.
If I had the funds, I would. There are other scarce proofs but I think we can all agree that none of them are as iconic as the original Doubledays.
True...in better shape, it would have gone for thousands more....
Wow... Might I ask a question... would you think Carrie is VG+ shape to F shape... go over $10K? 15K? Bob, if I may... what would you be willing to go to?

Seller actually came to me first looking for an offer and he sent pics...It was in terrible shape in my opinion...VERY rare, but only About Good shape. I felt like I was out of my league on that one, not being a big proof collector myself....so I did not make an offer...I am shocked at how high it actually went for....solidified in my mind that I would have been way off on any offer I might have given.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
You never know when one might show up on eBay. Unlikely, but possible. I'm not willing to tip my hand.
Of course. thanks Bob!You never know when one might show up on eBay. Unlikely, but possible. I'm not willing to tip my hand.

It's a proof I obviously want for my collection as I don't have any of the Doubleday ones, but even if I hadn't just blown my annual budget last week with David, I am still thinking that I would not have gone for that one mainly due to condition. I realize to find one for sale is highly unlikely but I just couldn't see myself bidding around what it sold for even if I had the money.
If I had the money, I'd probably have bid on it, simply because of its rarity. Good thing that I don't have that kind of money.

I thought it sold for about the right price. But, as you all have said, it is in pretty rough condition. One in fine condition might have brought three times the price of this one.
I was watching it with my hand poised for a $3900.07 snipe bid... when it went over 4 grand, I went for a walk... so that I didn't do something stupid that I really didn't need to do right now.
Good move. Sounds like something I would have done too. A walk is much cheaper.
Is Chris Cavalier back on the collector's road?
Wanted list:
Ubris
I think he just collects high-end proofs.
