Collectible Classifieds-Primarily for Stephen King Items

[mcwheels]

Hey there...

I wanted to let everyone know that I am considering selling one of the 52 limited editions of It published by Cemetery Dance back in 2011. It was given to me as a gift by them, it's one of the PC lettered copies. Would anyone here be interested in buying it, and what would you be willing to offer?

I have pics if interested.

[Phalucha]

1) The Wind Through the Keyhole signed by King in aftermarket CD slipcase for $275 (same price as i purchased from Betts). SOLD
2) The Colorado Kid signed limited JK Potter edition for $285
3) More Tomorrow and Other Stories by Michael Marshall letter K of 26 copies for $325

Paypal gift w/shipping at cost. Thanks, Paul

Welcome to the site. Generally the classifieds are for for members/people who have been here a while, and or can have another member vouch for them.
Since there are no fees, and the buyer sends their money in good faith, knowing that (VERY rarely), the seller could default, you need to be vouched for.

Or....he/she could ship first and the buyer could pay upon receipt.

[webstar1000]

I agree with Tippy.

[Randall Flagg]

Absolutely. Couldn't have said it better.
In certain situations, I could facilitate by holding the funds in escrow, but no matter what, there is a great deal of faith here. On ebay there is quite a bit more protection for a buyer.
This is a seller's paradise. No fees, no risk, little or no repercussions.

Well, there may be some repercussions....

I like tippy's idea. The trust works both ways.

I also like RF's offer of acting as a trustee.

[Randall Flagg]

I don't want to be a trustee, but at some point the site can't be a conduit for sellers and buyers without changes to things.
Sellers here in the past have saved quite a bit in fees; and buyers have received good deals. We barely received $2,400 to keep the site ad free for 2015, yet zero from sellers and buyers.
Inevitably, that will change.

I'm just spitballing here, but maybe a "Buyer/Seller" annual membership may be in order? IDK, say $25 a year to be able to purchase or sell on the site? Like I said just throwing things out there. Seems reasonable to me. Anyone?

I don't know about the logistics of it, but maybe you could get a cool "Ka" sign in your profile if you have paid in? Again, just throwing things out there.

Considering ebay charges a 10% commission fee for every item sold on their site, an annual fee of $25 is too small to meet the ongoing running costs of this forum.

I would think an annual selling fee of $75 is more appropriate to meet these costs and to keep the site add free. I think it would also be reasonable for members wishing to sell on this site to be required to make a donation of $50 to the HF.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[Merlin1958]

As I said I was just throwing idea's out there. Certainly $50 is not much to ask, but as far as the HF thing goes, as much as I would love it I don't think one has anything to do with the other. I hate to say that as the "HF Whore", but right is right. Now maybe a consideration for the HF in some form? I just don't know. Ultimately it's, Jerome's very difficult decision to make, fortunately not mine. Good to see this being discussed though. I, personally think it is long overdue.

[WeDealInLead]

In spoiler tags for size. $120 shipped. That's a pretty good price I think.

Spoiler:

The Gunslinger Born, all are 1:25 variants (1 made for every 25 regular covers)


















Specials and one-shots:


Most recent run, just ended. Pictured is the variant of #1 but I'll include the regular cover as well:


That's it, missing is only one story arc, The Long Road Home. It's between The Gunslinger Born and Treachery.

I would happy to be a trustee.

Ongoing sales are not going to be tied to the fundraiser.
This has more to do with people using the goodwill and reputation of the site to conduct fee free transactions. In almost every case the seller and buyer are happy. We've only (IIRC) had two sellers burn a buyer.
I have no idea who mcwheels is, but he/she certainly came here to sell something and so far no one else can vouch for him/her. mcwheels has obviously not participated on the site by posting. I used to just rip people like this, but I'm getting soft.
Caveat emptor.

Hi Randall Flagg,

I've just noticed your post from earlier today.

If it's not permissible to advertise books on this forum, please do let me know and I'll have my previous post removed immediately (or you can remove it if you wish).

I had seen a copy of IT been advertised here before so thought I'd do mine too.

Kind regards
Mos

It is certainly permissible. It is simply advisable to interact here for a while prior to posting items for sale, so members get to know you a little first.


Welcome to the site.

[moslehchowdhury]

Ah, thanks for the heads up Brian and for the welcome.

I'm currently exploring through the other forums.

[burial]

is there anyone who is willing to trade US Doctor Sleep sleeping mask for a similar Polish sleeping mask?

[Scoogs]

Just a thought; most forums that I'm on have a separate sub-forum for buying and selling.
Members are not allowed access to it until they have 50-100 posts.

That's one way to establish familiarity with a seller first and prevent fly by sales.

That's a good idea, I like it!

I think members having a minimum of 100 posts before being able to access this thread is definitely worth considering...

Oh no. I better get another 30+ posts quick before I am locked out of this thread. I like this section.

Haha, you're the exception.
You've been around the community for a long time and are already known to many collectors.

Obviously it's not a perfect solution.

Start visiting the Haven Foundation fundraiser threads. That will sort it for you.
