Well that's not even trying anymore
Well that's not even trying anymore
I can proudly say that even I can tell that's a fake!
I kindly asked the Rose Madder auction person to pull the listing because the signature WAS FAKE. The second note told him that I was giving him/her the chance to do the right thing before I reported them. The last note (didn't get to send) told them that I'd just love to buy the book, pay for it and then sue them for knowingly selling a book with a fake signature or having a reasonable suspicion that the signature was not legitimate.
They pulled the auction with about 20 minutes left. I hope that means the bidder isn't stuck with the book. If not, I'll buy next time and they can deal with someone who just HATES this practice. Won't get them all but I will get a few of the pricks out there!
ha! thats really bad alright. ugghh!
Legit or Fake? Please Help me before I decide to spend my wife's money..thanks

Even if it's legit (and I think the picture posted is a legit King signature), it is unclear if the book is a 1st/1st, and what condition it is in.Originally Posted by killbourne
Check twice-buy once.
Thanks. Im asking the seller as we speak.
This isn't a SK related item but I figured I'd put this here with hope that somebody can give me some advice.
I bought something last night through Ebay for my daughter. It's basically a cloak from a cartoon character that she likes and she wants it for a halloween costume. It was a buy-it-now so I paid for it through paypal. The seller is from China.
This morning had a few emails.

LisaDear Valuable Customer.
Good day! I'm writing this letter just to inform you a little issue.
We note that there is a little mistake between us and ebay vero team. Our items are 100% of official original edition. We have already handled the authorization documents to ebay. But maybe because of the system lag or ebay need time to work for this. They mistook us as unauthorized. We have contacted ebay and the stuff tell us they are working this issue and the problem will be solved soon.
It's a mistake. So pls don't mention it if ebay system send you message about this issue. Pls don't turn to Resolution Center. It will harm to our customer service for you if any case be opened! Thanks for your understanding!

Follow ebay's advice and contact the seller. You need to wait seven days before you can open a case anyway. It basically comes down to one question: do you think you'll get the item or not?
It sounds as if you've been scammed. I'd complain to eBay immediately and demand your money back from the seller. If you paid via a Paypal credit card, also file a claim with your credit card company.

Opinions about whether or not its real or fake. Thank you in advance for taking a look.
ebay item # : 110740557617
Real
Without a doubt authentic.
Seller is VERY LEGITIMATE as well. I've worked directly with Chris over the course of the last 12 months on several items I've acquired from his collection.

Note on the description: Signed by Stephen King on a second title page
which is laid into the book.
That sounds funny. So, the title page was removed from one book and then put into another?
Yeah, I didnt actually read that part...Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I'm the caretaker of Room 217..............I've always been the caretaker of Room 217
Wow, that's bad......
i ordered a costume for my daughter from milano from china and it took forever... did not make it in time for halloween... and if ebay is telling you you can get your money back do it... that should not damage the sellers rep if he is legit
Hey guys, not sure what's going on, but be wary with this auction:
Stephen King's Full Dark; RARE one of a kind remarqued
The auction is for a thrice remarqued Full Dark, No Stars gift edition, and the auction itself has no pictures of the remarques. I contacted the seller asking to see pictures of the remarques and he sent me four pictures and they were from the Artist Edition S/L of Dark Forces (the signature page, and three remarques ... and to the left of two of the remarques you can see ... DARK ... and FORCES, lol)
So ... I asked what was going on, that was a few hours ago. No response yet. Might be a simple mix up, but I didn't want anyone to get screwed when I could have said something. I will update if and when he responds. Thanks.
Shannon
Seller responded with new pics of the three remarques, they look quite good. He said it was a mix up.
That works for me.
Did that book really sell for $108?
Damnit! I was going to place a bid but didn't get a look at the ending time. I just assumed it was later. Fudge! The remarques were pretty nice too. Damnitdamnitdamnit!
Shannon
No kidding. They had it listed a few weeks ago with a starting bid of $650, then changed to a BIN/Best Offer listing at $700.
