I think that this sale should be delayed for a little while. This was posted on the CD forums by Brian Freeman regarding an ebay post:

"They were actually removed from sale because someone politely pointed out that the ARCs weren't sent to them to be sold pre-publication. Or so I hear.
Brian"

anyone interested in a Darkman arc orange color for $200 ?

Wow! That's pretty crazy for $275 or $399 for the ARCs (or for even $200). Looks like CD wasn't too happy about it though LOL! I got one from them that we did a review of for this next issue of DD. Very tempting to offer it up at those prices! (I won't though, but at some point it may have to go as I still get a bunch of unsolicited ARCs for Dark Discoveries all of the time and they do stack up!!!)

Are they ever supposed to be sold prior to publication? Seems like a lot of people do, but they are review copies made up for that purpose and promotion. I imagine the publishers don't care too much as long as the reviews are done first (being a publisher of a few books myself I have seen ARCs I made show up on the secondary market. Oh well, what can you do). Technically they are like promos for CDs and LPs, etc. that the company can ask for back (although they don't often do that at least that I have ever seen).

What does everybody else think here? Obviously there are a limited number of these produced and sometimes the lowest number of a title done so collectible to some folks. Some publishers like CD even do grab bag/deals where they give away or sell these proofs.

James, most ARCs/proofs state that they are not to be sold. After the book is published, however, the publishers don't seem to care. It's only when the volumes are up for sale pre-publication that sends up the red flags.

What is it? A preliminary piece? I know it is not the finished and published artwork but can you tell us any more about it? The medium or what it is painted on?

I sold the signed/# copy of JOYLAND I have on the way, but still have an extra unsigned one and a couple extra copies of the Slipcased DARK MAN up for grabs. And i'll still cover media mail shipping the US (and discount a couple bucks off the Non-US shipping to be fair)

Your link went to ebay instead actually. Here's the link to Subpress:

Not much left at this point though. First time I looked they had a Lock & Key but now it's gone. A buddy of mine also grabbed an extra PC copy of George R.R. Martin's the Dying of the Light but he wouldn't tell me what he paid for it of course LOL!

- James

[cit74]

wow - i happened to be online and see the email minutes after it was sent - checked it out and never saw the locke and key or GRRM book

[Patrick]

I had the Locke & Key in my cart. By the time I logged in to pay, it was sold out. Damn.

I copied the code and forgot to change the link. :-)

The GRR Martin went for 1/2 price of $67.50.

The Joe Hill was $125, I think.

[Patrick]

Yes, the L&K volume 2 went for $125.

Hey I know the feeling! LOL Happy to help out and thanks for posting the FYI to start with!

So it sounds like they were/are doing half price on the PC copies or something around that. Not a bad deal there!

Supposedly (we'll see) I got the PC Locke & Key 2 (sorry everybody); never saw a Locke & Key; the GRR Martin was still there at that time, just not one of my interests so I didn't grab it. There were 10-12 titles I believe ... some Dan Simmons, I think maybe a Robert McCammon, some other names I didn't recognize. I almost didn't grab the Joe Hill, but figured what the hell, it was a good price.

It's a nice book, and great story - I have the first 2 subpress volumes (thats actually how I was introduced to Simon and then eventually this forum - what a costly mistake). If you have not read Locke and Key - you can p/u the 5 HC volumes pretty cheaply - I got all 5 in one ebay auction for a little over $50 if memory serves me correctly. Heck there is one now that ends in 2 days at $60 (retail is $25 per book):

I have decided to part with my LETTERED Joyland.

Only 15 of these came to the US.

Will ship upon receipt......and of course, if something were to happen and it shows up damaged or not at all, I would issue an immediate and full refund.
