Due to space limitations (and frankly, also because I decided to buy myself something expensive but cool ) I am looking to sell a bunch of King stuff - mostly easy-to-find trade editions but also a few more interesting books. The big question is: do you guys think it will be worthwhile to list (among other things) an almost full set of US 1st/1st trade editions for sale on this particular forum? I know everyone here already owns these and much more. The thing is: I wouldn't know where else to go except Kris' FB group (where I'm already testing the waters with a few of the higher-end items).
Does anyone here have a friend, family member or colleague who is looking to start a basic but solid King collection? My asking price for all the 'basic' books would be extremely fair. Higher-end books would be priced competitively.
*edit: just to get an idea of what I have for sale:
- An (almost?) full set of US 1st/1sts, including a great copy of 'Salem's Lot
- A number of UK 1st/1sts, including the Stand (1979) and a very nice copy of Danse Macabre
- A Grant DT set (DT1 2nd ed., DT1 Viking reissue 1st/1st, DT II signed by the artist, DT III, DT IV, DT V-VII artist editions, 2x TWTTKH gift ed., 1x LSOE gift ed.). Also includes a limited Alex McVey Oy sculpture.
- A bunch of books on King and his work (Bev Vincent, Douglas Winter, Beahm, Underwood & Miller)
- A small assortment of gift editions (PS 'Salem's Lot, PS Night Shift, CD The Shining, 2x Centipede 'Salem's Lot, My Pretty Pony, ...)
- A few proofs (US and US Skeleton Crew, Dolan's Cadillac)
- A bunch of nice US 1st/1st mass-market paperbacks of the older titles
I also have small Simmons, McCammon, Crichton and Joe Hill collections that I can sell if anyone is interested.
Hey Brian, shoot me a PM I was editing my post when you replied. I included a very rough list of stuff that I have available. More than happy to provide pics and pricing.
Forget the list. What did you buy yourself that was expensive and cool??
Paul, I did not buy it yet but I have been eyeballing a couple of veeeery nice electric guitars... I sold my previous one almost twenty years ago and I've only been playing an acoustic ever since... but the urge to rock-'n-roll has returned....

Hi All. Just wanted to give a heads up on a few Dark Tower Signed and Limited Editions I have for sale on Ebay. They will be ending on Sunday so take a look. If you would like to purchase any on here instead let me know. If the link does not work I am Kingfan2323 on Ebay.

I'm happy to say that I received a lot of messages re: selling my King books. I am currently trying to get pricing and pics sorted out for everyone - I hope to get it done by tonight (it's my last day off and I've been away pretty much non-stop with my wife and son). Sorry for the delay!
After this first round has been taken care of I'll post a list (with pics and pricing) of the remaining books. Thanks so far, everyone!
In the meantime, I'd like to put this set up for sale (colours are a bit off, sorry):
Not pictured but also included are the WTTKH and LSOE Grant artist gift editions, in the condition I received them in from the publisher. All other books are also in NF or better condition.
I had no clue about current market values but a Friendly Fellow Forum member gave me the following estimates in another thread, adding up to a total of $1,550 for the set:
*DTI (Viking; 1st Printing) $75
*DTI (Grant; 2nd Edition) $300
*DTII (Grant; 1st Edition; Signed by Hale) $125
*DTIII (Grant; 1st Edition) $125
*DTIV (Grant; 1st Edition) $150
*DTV (Grant; Artist Edition/Wrightson) $125
*DTVI (Grant; Artist Edition/Anderson) $125
*DTVII (Grant; Artist Edition/Whelan) $75
*WTTK (Grant; Artist Edition/Lee) $100
*LSOE (Grant; Artist Edition/ Whelan) $350
I would sell the complete set for $1,150. If there are no takers I'd be happy to sell the books separately for the prices quoted above. Shoot me a PM if interested!
Hi Oreo, they are not signed/numbered editions but trade and artist editions
I just have to briefly interrupt and say that the Oy figurine is adorable
It is, right? I wanted to sell it as well but my wife wont let me...
