Betts Books

[jsweet]

Shut out -- oh well, my credit card bill will thank me

[AKC]

I am embarrassed to say that I didn't buy one item.

I was in a meeting until 2:00 EST and all of you knuckleheads beat me to the good stuff....

[WeDealInLead]

I emailed about Carrie at 1:17 and was too slow. Too bad, I was hoping to finally complete the set (US first editions).

I was sorely tempted with the S/L Talisman. Then the shadow of my CC bill loomed over me and slapped me upside my head.

Not part of that super collection but I just bought The Stand Limited from David over at Betts. Man oh man is that a good one. I am really happy I pulled the trigger
on this. Let me also say that David is really good to work with. I will only go to him now for any "high end" books that I want.

Congrats MikeDuke

I tried to buy this one too. I asked to put it on layaway or hold, as I see he does this sometimes. He said he would if it wasn't too long. I said I just wanted to make sure the closing on my old house went through, which is April 19th. The next day he said he sold it to someone else. Now I know who. If I would have known that was too long, I would have just gambled, or bit the bullet, but oh well, you win some and you lose some.

Congrats again.

Thanks. I also wanted to put this on layaway but Dave said that the buyer wanted a "quick" sale. So, I was able to find what I needed and did up the deal. It was two payments which the seller was OK with. Sorry to snipe you, but it is a nice one to get. I am sure you will find one. I did not expect to do this but I said why not.

No problems. I definitely wouldn't say you sniped me. From the sounds of it, maybe you had the earlier first request, and maybe David was willing to sell it to me if I could come up with the money first.

A great memeber Shaq here has a lettered for sale... he is a stellar guy and perhaps it would pay to touch base with him and work something out

[MikeDuke]

Wow, the fabled letter ed? Now that would be sweet. But I am happy with my numbered ed.

I'm anxiously curled in the corner in a fetal position waiting to see if I am able to get a particular book from the new listing or if I came to the party too late......


EDIT: I did! One S/L Dolan's Cadillac for me!
This might just about complete my wanted list. (Until I see something else that I HAVE to have) The US PB Bachman books are likely a pipe dream so I better start exerting control for those upcoming books I'm(WE'RE)going to need!

Was that the one with the slipcase? I actually just ordered one from Jeff to make for mine that I just picked up myself. Good for you and glad to see people are putting their money to a good hobby

Yes that was the one! Excited to see it in person.
Jeff is making several slipcases for me at the moment. Your Dolan's is going to look great!

Hmm in hindsight I really should have drawn the cars the other way in that slipcase...

Oh well.

You should have had one car looking one way, the other car looking the other way, and the other car looking out and saying, "What do you want from me?!" lol
