Yeah, Hyraxia did well (I snagged one). Some even went higher than what they had priced on their site.
I can't believe the Knowing Darkness deluxe went for almost 1200 bucks. I bought mine for 400 including shipping from a member here.
I wanted the EOTD proof and intended to snipe it, but the alarm I set on my phone wasn't loud enough, so I missed the end of the auction by 2 minutes. Friggen Laaaaaaaaaaaame. Oh well, next time

Whatever conversation you have, please stop quoting the other posts. The scroll rate is annoying.
A quick look at the bidding shows that 2 people fought over this to the final price. So at least 2 people were prepared to pay around that figure (the second dropped out around £20 (~$26) less.

It's not something I've kept track of recently Kris. There are a couple of recent eBay sales for the small one around the $200-250 mark. Didn't David sell one of the big ones recently?

George sold out his copies ~3 years ago. I bought one of the last of his stock. I got the deluxe edition with the acrylic slipcase for $399 and the slipcased version with prints for under $100. Great deal! Thanks again, George!
The price has risen slowly since then. I haven't seen too many of them on the market. The deluxe was worth ~$600 two years ago.
$1181.43 is more than I expected one to go for. I was thinking it would go for around original asking price.
I've seen the slipcased version go for ~$300. I haven't seen $400.

Adam, there were two bidders that went above £500.00 on the deluxe version.

I’ll have to learn how to check all the bids on an auction. I was going off the logic that it takes at least two bidders to get to a final price, and that it was possible there could’ve been more than two people competing. If there were only two, and based off what you guys (including Kris) are saying, $1200 does in fact seem a little crazy. Thanks.

If you look at the finished auction, next to the final price it states the number of bids that is a clickable link.
This opens up the bid history. The bidders actual names are redacted, but you can still see when it is the same bidders.

Knowing Darkness
The last sales for the signed version that I'm aware of are:
$750 - Betts sale, date unknown (according to Mr. Rabbit Trick)
$900 - what I paid for my copy in 2017
$1150 - what Mulleins sold his copy for (not sure of the date, 2017 I think)
$1180 - what this most recent copy went for in 2018
As the other bidder was willing to go up to $1150, I think this puts the market price of the S/L version around $1k.
As a side matter, the traycase alone just sold for $270.
For the non-signed version, here are the most recent auction results:
Dec 2017: $320
Jan 2018: $388
Apr 2018: $389
May 2018: $250
May 2018: $350
Jun 2018: $350
Jun 2018: $400
Jul 2018: $250
So somewhere in between $250-400 is the going rate, with 3 sales in the last 6 months hitting the $400 mark (or $389-$400 to be pedantic).
We had a similar conversation about this back in April (starting with this post: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...=1#post1099990).
In general I think that Knowing Darkness is undervalued on TDT because of the number of people who got their copies for less than list price from George Beahm over the course of the many years he was selling them (I also bought an unsigned copy from him in 2014 for $100). For a number of years, he was single-handedly driving the market and pushing down the price because he was the only seller and he had a bunch of copies. After his copies dried up, it took about a year for the market to tighten back up and now the unsigned version is going for almost what the signed version went for, and the signed version is hitting $1000+.
EDIT: From my post in the other thread -
On a side note, I have never seen one of the deluxe versions (of which I think there were ~25 and that retailed for ~$4-5k), and would love to see it if someone here has a copy!
