That's a fantastic price given that 20,000 copies were printed. Amazing!

Eh...private auction...very high price...not one of those auctions I consider very serious bellwethers...even still, Gunslinger firsts do go for decent prices though...
Gee I may never get one - that is just out of my reach!
note to self: calm down CR your kids college education is really really important!

Just don't try to convince yourself that investing in Stephen King is a good way to fund your kids college education! ;-)

I believe that goes for any collection--although my dad does pretty well in classic HO gage model trains.

If I had sold a couple of years ago then I might have been OK, but with the basic declining market I better hang on to what I have for now. :-)
My collection was never an investment from the git go - I just told my wife it was at the time so that she wouldn't cringe so much at the prices of things! OMG I paid $150 for the S/N Best of Cemetery Dance when it first came out - she thouhgt I had stepped off the deep end then! :-)

I didn't think I'd ever see an S/L of DESPERATION go for only two hundred bucks like happened on eBay this weekend.

Wow! There are some real bargains to be had if you look hard.
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.
I agree. Some examples:
Desperation Gift-sold for $33.86
DTVII Artist sold for $61
Letters From Hell-zero bids with a start of $50
Last friday I lost a SOS S/L for 212 dollars.

I don't know how much the winner bid, but it went for a very low price.

I go by Rusty by the way, i finally gave in and came over. I was being stubborn, basicaly because i didn't want to learn a new site and all that stuff !! I just couldn't take the super slowmotion f the other site or the fact that half the time i couldn't even log on any more.
Very nice site, still learning it abit but i like it and i am sure i will get the hang of it rather quickly.
I have a few things for sale if anyone is interested, wasn't sure if where to post it, so i figured i would just try here, if there is a better spot please direct me to it thanks

thanks again
Rusty
Welcome aboard, Rusty!
I feel the same as you about the other site. It's so frustrating trying to do anything there.
John
Welcome Rusty. I know a lot of people feel a dedication to the other site, but after a while the frustration of just accessing the site can drive you nuts.
Glad to see you here.
Pardon my ignorance--I've never seen this before. Is that actually SK's sig or a fascimile?
Ari, that does suck about the SoS. I'm not really ready to take the jump to S/L's just yet, but I would have likely bid on that at that price. Didn't see it though.
Hi Rusty! Good luck with the chap (or chappette).
The Letters From Hell is a great piece, and is actually signed by King. Lord John Press (Dolan's Cadillac) printed it up. I have one framed and hanging in my living room.
Welcome, Rusty! Glad you took the time to make the short trip over here. Congrats on the pending arrival of lil' Rusty.

Letters From Hell has always been on my radar screen, but I always see it for much more than I care to spend! I wonder how much that one sold for!!!!
