    Those copies do look interesting. Three different ones all at $4,999. Man it would cool to have something that rare.
    Mr RT. Very cool that you have something so cool and rare.

    I hear ya, I hear ya....I'm turning 60 this fall so not about to give up my "big" job at night that pays most all the bills. I admit to being BAD on timing my stuff...I give teasers WAY too early, say sorry...But in truth, I do have toms of stuff that I never listed....to put it in perspective, it will be more "ordinary" items, most less than $100. Some I will almost be giving away I think....I stopped listing Terry Goodkind signed stuff years ago (it was Stu Tinker that had the relationship with Terry)...but I have lots of signed Terry stuff that I plan to list along with King stuff and books about King too. The idea of compiling the list is daunting! And what keeps me from moving ahead, sigh!

    Plus I have about 4 new consignments in the works which takes a lot of work pricing, emailing consignees, inspecting books etc. Finally, I have 3 weeks to get my taxes done. I have to do Federal as well as States of CT and NY...I have to fold Betts into my personal return....I think my Federal return last year was close to 20 pages....not easy but I'm a sicko and love doing my own taxes...it's like putting a puzzle together...I know I have all the pieces, just need to put it all together, but the process is pretty big.

    File an extension on the taxes!!! I cant wait to see the books!!! I say that every time I see your going to post a new list! Cant wait to see what you have! 4 consignments on top of that.

    Oh man, I am REALLY disappointed now. My most coveted item was right there and it was perfect. Great inscription, great price. I had sent an email a few weeks back asking that if this item ever came up to please keep me in mind but I guess it was lost in the shuffle. Sucks to have to be at work when these are listed.
    I'm done whining now but it was meant to be mine!

    I admit to being between a rock and a hard place...There are some "popular" items that I know several people are looking for. Rather than giving one person a chance at the exclusion of others. I list the item and let it be "fair game." I've debated the issue many times in my head and it seems like the most fair option I can find. Sorry to anyone who missed out on an item.

    For instance, I know of at least 6 people who would LOVE to buy a Lettered Green Mile...they (Lettered copies) just don't appear. If I ever get one to sell, it will go up on the site for a first come first served basis...it might not even be one of the several people I know who want the book, but I cannot just pick one of them and not choose the others....it's a tough road, knowing a few people looking for something...and I get one.

    I can only speak for myself here but I think others would agree, that's the right way to handle things. It wouldn't be fair to anyone to keep a list of who wants what otherwise some people may not ever get a fair shake at an item. It would be difficult to prioritize that list as well. Do you choose that long time customer or the new one? The one who can pay right away or the one who needs layaway? Etc etc.
    I think we all understand that. I just needed to have a minor meltdown because that's twice within the span of a couple months that I've missed out on a not so easy to find item. We have all felt that disappointment and I'm sure we will again but that's the way it goes. I've been lucky to get some other wanted items over the past month from members here so I can't whine too loudly. One day this will happen too.
    You've been great to me David and I think I can speak for most everyone when I say thank you! Even when you're killing me

    I think you are right on David. I know of other stores that have played favorites over the years. I lost out on items because they were "promised" to
    other folks. I hate it when I miss on something but it's still the fairest way. Now about that Maine magazine with "One for the Road" if you happen to
    get one.......

    I need to make a post about generosity and this thread is as appropriate as any.
    I have had the pleasure of being on these forums a little over three years now and it has been a journey that has shown me how truly good people can be. I've met some wonderful friends who have taught me many things about King collecting. I'm always learning something new. I've bought and even sold here. My collection has grown with books I've wanted to own for a long time thanks to members here and especially David who has been there through most of it. My collection is modest compared to most of you but I am proud of what I have and am lucky to have some of the items that I do. If not for these boards I doubt I would have ended up with a Suntup Misery. If not for these boards I wouldn't have ended up with a very special item that recently came to me. Someone on here, with the kindness and help of David, made an extremely generous gift to me. I'm still asking myself why me but perhaps it best not be explained. I don't know who this person is but I do know this much, they're here somewhere This gift literally brought me to tears. This person is a truly kind human being whom I can't thank enough. Maybe I've said too much, I hope that if you're reading this that you don't mind and that I NEEDED to say something. I don't know what you saw in me to make this happen but whatever it is I hope to live up to it.
    Thank you. And thank you David. And thank you fellow members who I've come to know and trust.
    I would also like to apologize for my post a few posts up. I'm a little embarrassed re reading it now. I sound a bit like a teenager having a temper tantrum. That was not my intention and I hope most of you saw through it to the meat of the matter. As collectors I think you did

    ^ Yes, Beverly David Williamson and Betts Books is the single best friend and resource a book collecting community has or, likely will ever have. Not only that fact, but he is also a kind and generous book dealer. I can't count the times he has graciously consented to conspire with me on a gift for a friend or person in need. He will go above and beyond the call of duty eagerly to work out innovative and favorable payment schedules, offer up critical discounts where feasible and applicable and seek out rare editions to fill a special collecting need. I know this from my own, numerous and first hand experiences which indicate herculean efforts when applied to all the other collectors who deal with him from the King collecting community.

    There just aren't the right words to describe the value and impact that, Betts Books (through, David) has had on our little community. There is a quote that I hold dear and use as a guideline for my dealings made by, Abraham Lincoln and it goes something like this: "A man/woman never stands so tall as when he/she stoops to help another". That quote would in my humble opinion neatly apply to, David Williamson and accurately describe his day to day business dealings.

    wow! Thank you for your kind words all! I'm glad what I do is well received and always strive to help in any way I can.

    I have had the pleasure of being on these forums a little over three years now and it has been a journey that has shown me how truly good people can be. I've met some wonderful friends who have taught me many things about King collecting. I'm always learning something new. I've bought and even sold here. My collection has grown with books I've wanted to own for a long time thanks to members here and especially David who has been there through most of it. My collection is modest compared to most of you but I am proud of what I have and am lucky to have some of the items that I do. If not for these boards I doubt I would have ended up with a Suntup Misery. If not for these boards I wouldn't have ended up with a very special item that recently came to me. Someone on here, with the kindness and help of David, made an extremely generous gift to me. I'm still asking myself why me but perhaps it best not be explained. I don't know who this person is but I do know this much, they're here somewhere This gift literally brought me to tears. This person is a truly kind human being whom I can't thank enough.

I don't know what you saw in me to make this happen but whatever it is I hope to live up to it.
    Thank you. And thank you David. And thank you fellow members who I've come to know and trust.

    Wow, Lori! Can't believe it's been that long. Seems like yesterday that you were just joining up. Congrats on receiving a well deserved gift. You're one of the great ones here and I'm glad to have gotten to know you a little via the forum.

    Kudos to you too, Dave for helping someone brighten Lori's day.
    You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
