what would be a good price to sell a Secretary of Dreams Vol2 S/L at? (I am not a professional seller, but DJ, book and traycase all look as-new to me)
I have listed one on ebay at less than the last sale price I found, but not getting many bites, so I suspect I have overpriced it!
I genuineley dont know an accurate price so I am happy to drop it lower if I've listed it at way over the odds (although I have a best offer option on it too).
cheers!

Cheers all I'll drop the price tonight and see what happens
I agree. I had one on eBay earlier this year. Starting bid of $295--no takers; relisted--no takers. Listed at $275 (or $265--don't remember exactly) -- 1 bid. The interesting thing was that the collector was from Germany and he had business here in DC in March, so I just held the book until his conference. Walked over to his hotel for hand delivery. We met in the hotel bar an had a couple of drinks while we chatted about S. King and book collecting.

Why would Joe sign a book he isn't related to?
He was in the movie, not the book.

It seems to me it would depend on which one you asked him sign?
Spoiler:
He seems to feel the same way as your statement.
I am guessing he only wants to sign books he writes.
The case i heard of was a CGC comics collector tried to get him to sign a copy of Creepshow for encapsulating in a CGC Signature Series slab. Perhaps Joe is turned off by the commodification of his signature in that way (like some creators are) on a book that he didn't write.
He did politely refuse to sign the book when presented it. The collector in question came back to a message boards and proceeded to have a ginourmous hissy fit in which he went from being (self proclaimed) Joe Hill's biggest fan to cursing the man and his work because he wouldn't sign his Creepshow. (and selling his highly ranked set of CGC Locke and Key Comics) The meltdown was actually quite entertaining.
I personally feel like ANY creator, writer or artist, signs your stuff at their own convenience and in fact it is a gift to you, something to remember the fact that you actually met the person and expressed your appreciation for their work. If the signature (and the potential cash value of said signature on the collectibles market) is more of a priority for you, then you have your priorities out of whack. LOL
Not trying to put a damper on anyone's signing/collecting goals, but I believe it might be hard to get Joe Hill to sign the book. Who knows maybe you could, though

I would only want one signature in my US 1st Creepshow, and that would be Stephen King's, but I have quite a few othe King books that would be more important to have signed.
