    Hello everyone,

    I found this site because I was trying to research the possibility of selling what I believe is a limited trade edition of The Dar Tower: The Gunslinger. It is a red or dark umber cloth hardcover with "King" at the top and "Grant" at the bottom. I have kept it in a sealed bag all the time I have owned it. It has two dust covers also kept in the protective cover. It has five color illustrated pages inside it. Unfortunately it is not signed as Steven King does not make it to Idaho much that I know of. Any help with finding out what this book would be potentially worth would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks. JimB

    Hi Jim,
    welcome on board!

    Your description seams to target a first edition of the gunslinger more then a limited one - but this would also be a nice finding.
    Best is to check the wiki

    Klick: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...First-Editions

    Then, pictures are always the way to go.
    If you have some (books will be rated by 3 criteria: condition, condition & condition) there is a place for you to start your questions

    Happy Research!

    I suggest you take high resolution pics and post it on ebay. Do NOT post it as a BIN. You'll find out what the market will pay.

    As i said, best way would be to go to the areas i posted.
    Without pictures its hard to say. And here is the wrong place for price discussions ;D

    What you describe can be in the 650 - 850 range but i have seen many "perfect" books, that actually where not.
    You will only find a buyer (here: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...le-Classifieds) when you have pictures.

    Thanks again, Not much of an E-bay seller, So set a ridiculous reserve price and see what people are willing to offer?

    Edited... sorry navigating a new site is always confusing to me.. Don't want to step on any toes..

    Thanks again...

    would not suggest that, you will get ridiculous offers as the people who are searching for such a book know the value and will think you are trying to scam them.
    If you want to be sure that it is sold for a fair value - follow the suggestion randall gave you - market will drive it where it is - a perfect gunslinger will sell in any case for a fair value.

    If you have time, and want a certain amount, put some pics in here and then wait if somebody will take it.
    The "ridiculous reserve price" strategy will (imho) not help you.

    The range for such a book is quite "tight" , and with some pics i guess most of the members here can predict more or less down to 50,- what an eBay auction will have as result.

    Jim, welcome!

    I do have to caution you, though, that most members here are wary of buying from a newcomer. We're a pretty good group, but some of us have been burned before by newbies. Post for a while and let us get to know you.

    Thanks John.

    I am getting the impression that this is a good group. I originally bought this book while I was in the USAF in 1983 from Bud Plant publications for about $30. The book was stored in a ziplock bag for a while and then a friend told me I should get the mylar cover on it.. I am thinking about upgrading my computer system and looking for ways to do that. i7's and all the necessary hardware to upgrade are not cheap. Anyway thanks again for all your help.

    Wow, Bud Plant Publications! That takes me back to the 1980s and all the comic book-related stuff from Bud!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    Picked up Four Past Midnight in 7th grade, and began buying every King story/novel I could find. Got to it in the course of filling out my collection.

    Who is your favourite charcter?
    From the Dark Tower? What can I say I love me some villains, so I'd have to go with Flagg.

    What is your favourite book?
    In the main series, I'd have to say The Waste Lands. Otherwise, Insomnia, hands down.

    How old are you?
    28

    Where are you from?
    Birmingham, AL

    Do you have a nickname?
    Not that I know of

    How did you find this site?
    Was reminiscing about DT.net when I started rereading the series last month. Happened upon this website.

    I'm not sure whether I should say "Welcome" or "Welcome Back".
    Either way, I hope you stick around this cool place.

    Or years from now, when this site is long gone and in its place is another Dark Tower site, you'll pop up and say "I was smargavio on Dt.org, but I didn't stay long".

    Ka is a wheel, I'll always pop up eventually haha. I will always have my gift edition of Insomnia signed by Phil Hale to remind me of .net. A friend that went to Palavercon was nice enough for that.
