Not rude just uninformative, I knew it wouldn't be worth tons of money, but I didn't want to give it away for a fraction of its value if its rare. I've sold many king related items in my early years to support my collecting and it is surprising sometimes what things sell for.
Why in the world are the umneys last last case paperbacks priced so high on ebay?
Because those sellers are misinformed. You can get it between 15-$25 if you are patient.

I paid .99p for the whole UK set recently which included ULC!
I *think* I paid $5 for the US version, but that was years ago.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I bought like 6 of them out of a display at a half price books. I think they were 50 cents. They sold then I think for 10 to 20 bucks or so, not a lot but a excellent return on the money.
My best return on my money was the shining and red rum beer labels, I called Estes Park Brewery and asked them if I could buy some. I bought 100 each at 5 cents a piece. They averaged between 10 to 30 dollars for a set on ebay.

What would you guys/gals pay for a Near Fine (practically flawless) 1st Edition Carrie?
Hi All,
I am thinking of selling my copies of
Ray Bradbury Dandelion Wine 2 Book Set - Letter 'C' of 100 copies - Slipcased and signed by Bradbury / King.
The Big Book of Necon - Deluxe Artist's Edition - 43 of 150 copies - signed by King and many others and remarqued by Chadbourne
The Best American Short Stories 1st PB - Signed by King.
I would be grateful if anybody could let me know a fair price to sell them at.
Many thanks
Jon
If you can get it for less than $1000 you are doing well. Priest bought the best condition one I have seen for a while from (I believe) David @ BettsBooks. Either he or Mr Rabbit Trick may be able to tell you what the asking price was.

I saw that on ebay. I think it has been faked as there were only numbered copies, not lettered.
hi Mr Rabbit TrickI saw that on ebay. I think it has been faked as there were only numbered copies, not lettered.
That's my copy I was trying to sell on ebay, but I think I have a non-paying bidder.
I am one of 26 lifetime Deluxe Subscriber at PS and we get allocated letters for our copies, mine is 'C'. So not a true lettered, as just the same as the numbered copy.
Jon
Do you think that the 26 are added to the 100 or are they a part of the 100?
I was told by Pete when I joined the subscription that they were extra to the 100. So there are essentially 126 copies + PC copies.
Jon
26 copies all with a unique letter done at the time of issue by the publisher. Sounds like a lettered edition to me!

What's even more confusing is that Ray Bradbury's Deluxe Lettered Gift 3 book set edition is lettered A-Z for the true lettered edition and 'A'-'Z' for subscribers.26 copies all with a unique letter done at the time of issue by the publisher. Sounds like a lettered edition to me!

Thanks fellas. Picked one up last night for $950.00. Fingers crossed the description of condition is accurate.....Near Fine copies go for $900-$1000. Priceclipped go for $499.If you can get it for less than $1000 you are doing well. Priest bought the best condition one I have seen for a while from (I believe) David @ BettsBooks.

Did you win the copy that went on ebay last night?
If a Carrie with a price clipped DJ is worth $500 what would a vg first DJ alone be worth?
Also I can't find a price for. a DT7 AE with a doodle (not nice big Remarque) any help?
Rich DeMars
Also need a price on vg first of The Stand seems priced all over and many actually bce any thoughts
Rich DeMars
BCE is worthless. What do you mean by priced all over?
Because I keep finding copies sold for anywhere from 20 to several hundred but when I look deeper it's actually a bce which as you say should be worthless. So I'm just wondering what you guys think the value is cause I'm tired of looking for this one.
I have interested party in good portion of my King collection so I need values that aren't from the 1990s
Rich DeMars
Does that mean you will be getting a Carrie letter 'C'?What's even more confusing is that Ray Bradbury's Deluxe Lettered Gift 3 book set edition is lettered A-Z for the true lettered edition and 'A'-'Z' for subscribers.26 copies all with a unique letter done at the time of issue by the publisher.

Just noticed Dan that you need The Dead Zone, do I need to reprice that because it seemed pretty available at around $35
