Talking about the 0 feedback bidders, I had been talking to the seller of that last gift edition on ebay that went to a 0 buyer and decided after the auction to ask if the buyer did actually pay for the item (yes I knew there was little chance the person would tell me) and today I got a message from the seller and the buyer had in fact paid for the item. So conspiracy theories are fading for me now.

To me it is about the feedback normally if they pay the positive feedback is posted for the buyer, and with many of the 0 feedback's neither side leave any feedback otherwise it would not still be 0. I am glad I reached my desired quantity so I can focus on other items I lost.
Looking for a nice copy of The Stand with the black and white cover.
I believe you're talking about the Holdorf edition?
That's the one. I'm "watching" two on eBay but the shipping is $40 so no go for those. It doesn't help that I've been on eBay for 11 years without a single negative, those sellers want to cover their asses and will ship Priority only.
I'm desperately trying to get hold of/buy Stephen King's Garbage Truck column (titled, I believe, "Snow") from the 19th March, 1970 edition of The Maine Campus. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Shaun, as you may know the Maine Campus issues are some of the hardest-to-find King publications. But your best chance of finding any leads is here. Welcome!
Ah, thanks biomieg! I was blissfully unaware of how desirable and rare they are. Just my luck. This may be the wrong thread in which to ask (if so, sorry!) but are those Garbage Truck columns transcribed anywhere?
The last one ('Graduation', originally published in the May 21, 1970 issue) was reprinted in the Maine alumni magazine in 1989, but I think that was the only one that was ever reprinted. I don't know of any transcriptions. Maybe Bob (carlosdetweiller) does.
Photocopies of them circulated many years ago, but I don't think any have been transcribed -- posting transcriptions wouldn't be kosher anyway.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
Missed out on a Fine/Fine U.S. 1st/1st of FIRESTARTER today...so am still looking for one.
I think I want one of those Room 217 pwetar keys from the Stanley Hotel, but they don't ship overseas. Anyone got a spare and have any idea how much they could ship it to New Zealand for? Cheers

So jealous they sold for $20 and $10, respectively!
The alignment of the title on the spine, I believe. Bob has posted a photo with the two variations somewhere.
very cool! any idea how scarce they are?[/QUOTE]
Pretty scarce, I think. I got my copy from Peter Schneider who worked at Doubleday when they were published. I'm pretty sure the problem was noticed and corrected prior to shipping the books out. It was my impression that none were sent out. But I got a second copy on eBay just a year or so ago and the seller had no idea that it was anything different or unusual. So there are probably some copies in circulation.
I have never seen one before.
Really a fantastic collectable!
