Hmm... I'm sort of starting to regret not buying one, even at the inflated $400 price.

I hesitated at first when offered one for $400, but I decided to take the plunge. I'm sure initially copies may go for higher than this, but eventually they will probably come down. I just didn't want to shop around for one.

I took the $400 dive also and I was able to get a matching number to my SOD vols I & II

Just a heads-up: almost all of the remaining shipping notices went out last night, but some of those books aren't actually shipping until Friday and Monday because of the snowstorm. The way our order management system works is kind of dumb sometimes, but we had to "fill" all of the remaining orders to start processing the Non-US shipments -- and filling the orders generates the shipping information. So your tracking numbers are correct, but the book may not have actually been packed and left the building yet. The Non-US orders should be finished next week.

This process has been slower going than I hoped, but we have a staff of 5 working on nothing but inspecting each and every book and traycase, handling the numbering and the lettering, cross-checking the order list and the updated shipping information we received from our customers, and then carefully packing the books. We're using "larger" than necessary boxes with extra packing peanuts, and the books (in their traycases, of course) are being bubble-bagged.

That said, mistakes could still happen, or UPS could take out some aggression on your package in transit, so if you have any questions or concerns about your shipment or your book or your order, please don't hesitate to email me. I'd be happy to help, but it is much easier for me to track your issue and solve it if I have an email to reference. Thanks!

I have the shipping notice for Legacies. Unfortunately I live across the country from CD so it is still a week away. I have a nine year nephew who likes looking at my books, I explained to him that I would be getting a book soon that I bought before he was born. That really puzzled him! Can't wait to have this in my hands!

Mindy loves to tell people this, but I'm pretty sure I was a senior in high school when the book was announced. I did not order one.

Brian,
That comment makes me feel old. The fact that I am old doesn't help either!

[jhanic]

My delivery date for Legacies is Monday, 1/17/11.

[Randall Flagg]

Looks like mine is scheduled for the 20th.

[Cutter]

I'm with John - I'm scheduled for the 17th, which makes sense since we're both from Ohio.

[MLG]

Legacies is scheduled for delivery to me on the 20th.

[ELazansky]

Legacies has arrived!

[Tito_Villa]

Wish i had one of those on the way!

[frik]

As do I. Looks like a gorgeous book!
Have to keep an eye out for eBay for sure.

That's a beautiful book.

[lophophoras]

It does look great. I am now regretting not purchasing one for $400.00 a month ago... Oh well.. LOL..

Congrats to those that got one. I'm sure it feels great to those that have been waiting for so long.

Also, congrats to CD for getting this one out to everybody.

I suspect after the initial spike the prices will come down on these. Anthologies don't normally hold their value, plus with all the delays and bad press associated with this particular book I think a lot of collectors will be "turned off" it.

[lophophoras]

The collecting world is funny though. The fact that this is the book that 'almost didn't happen' could make it a highly desired collectable. It's history alone could draw interest to it.

It could really go either way.

Yah as with most collectible books its a crapshoot and only time will tell.

[ELazansky]

I don't think it is going to drop that fast. For all of the people who have been waiting years and years for this book to arrive, are they going to turn around and sell it? And for those buyers who decided the book was no longer for them, CD gave them the chance to sell their book and double their cash before the book was even released.

Every King signed/limited published in the last 5 years has been available for the issue price or less on the secondary market.

I know this because that's where I've got all mine.
