Absolutely a great buy for David, either way. I would have bought the group (if I had the money and didn't want to stay married) just for the Viking DT1 and TTWTK, replaced the other ones in my collection with copies that were better, then sold the rest. Hell, done right he might even be able to pay for the DT 1 with sales of the others.
Ah, but only to have $2200 sitting around waiting to be spent. Sigh.
I'm not worried though. I'm counting on all you old guys kicking off before I do; all these titles will be up for sale again someday, it's just a matter of living the longest to take advantage of it! (my wife already has directions from me to sell through David when my time comes!)
On a side note, new fire here in Colorado, started this morning ... 150 acres and growing fast, maybe 20 miles from where I live here in Colorado Springs (fire is on the west side, near Manitou Springs, in a canyon somewhere). Am sitting out here on the deck as I type this, watching the huge column of smoke going over my house. On the plus side, it's blocking out the sun and making it nice and cool (94 here today) and the colors from the sun behind the smoke are very pretty.
WANT LIST: Any SK #186; Dark Man Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Black Tape Spine Proof; FDNS Unbound Color Proof
Sadly George I must inform you that after thinking long and hard about it I've opted out of the whole dying thing unless I can take my collection with me.
I agree. I would do the same...well, if I didn't need all, but one.
Well, call me crazy, but essentially yes...part of beauty of owning Betts is I have an outlet for the others...I do own all the others so Betts will have those for sale at some point down the road.
As for $$ sitting around....well you might think with running Betts that I have tons of cash laying around ready to buy stuff...truth is the reason I keep my prices sharp is so I can turn stuff over and keep new stuff coming in.
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.
Yep. It's good to be king. (no pun intended)

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Already have had one interested Buyer who is now considering it but specifically indicated that if another Buyer comes along, it IS STILL FOR SALE
If I recall, Mr. Merlin was looking for one of these too.....
I paid $1,649 about a year ago and would sell it for $1,700 shipped within the US / $1,700 + shipping outside the US.
As many of you can attest as a result of our past transactions, under most circumstances, I never look to make any money off of anybody in the TDT family.....
This one deserves to stay here...
I want to buy one for $1150 like someone got last year. For that reason I don't expect to own one lol.

PM if interested!
Agreed. I do, however, have a resource for an extra, non-faded spine for around $125.00.
That would put this at $875 with an unfaded spine. Still a good deal!

your choice of either
an as new- opened/inspected- (but spine never cracked) #35
or publisher sealed never opened box #34
pretty low numbers

amazon lowest - 557.00
ebay lowest 399.00 (3+ days left on auction)
next ebay lowest 475.00
none listed on betts or ABE

Karen - There was a discussion in here a couple weeks ago, and it was decided that the eBay posts should go in the 'Intriguing Stephen King/Dark Tower Auctions-Sales' thread instead.
