    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...

    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.

    Hello everyone !!! Some of you know me from the other sites, to those who don't yet know me HELLO !!
    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

    Me and my wife are expecting a baby in may !! So I have been selling off some books to get some money together for a nursery and all the other stuff a baby needs. Not selling everything !! I still have a very nice collection, mainly just sticking to first editions, signed first editions and the older signed and limiteds or any books that have meaning to me (gifts etc...)
    I have signed and limiteds of

    Black house #1108 $300
    Insomnia #706 $400 (few flaws to the tray case but book is perfect)
    From a Buick 8 #737 $550
    The Colorado Kid (JK Potter edition) #112 $350
    The Colorado Kid (Edward Miller edition) # 126 $350
    The Colorado Kid (Glenn Chadbourne edition) #111 $350

    I have gift editons of

    Secretary of Dreams $100
    Insomnia $100

    all prices are somewhat negotiable and do not include shipping , if you know of anyone looking for anything please let me know, I could use the money !!!
    thanks again

    Welcome aboard, Rusty!

    I feel the same as you about the other site. It's so frustrating trying to do anything there.

    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.

    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.

    Hey Rusty, I am glad you made the jump.

    We do have an auction platform so if not enough people see this here you are welcome to set up some of those. If you want to do it, just let me know and I will set you up as a seller in there.

    Thanks for giving us a try
