Love it. Vincent Chongs is awesome, of course, but Ms. Wells knocks it out of the park.

Thanks everyone! Vincent, thanks also for the kind words--your illustrations for DOCTOR SLEEP were just phenomenal. It's great fun to do a companion piece to your scary Rose in this book for The Haven Foundation.

The same "early bidders" are at it again!

Not sure if they have ever won an auction but they are very active in the early going.....

Simply an observation that, with all Haven auctions, there seems to be a flurry of early bidding activity by the same prospective buyers yet rarely, if ever, do they end up winning the auction(s)....

I do admit I generally like to throw in an early bid to put the item on "My Ebay" list to follow. However, I am always serious about what I bid in that I can back it up with the necessary funds at all times. I have won a few in my day, if I am really interested and committed.

This piece falls into that category. It's a really nice one and I view it as companion remarques. Unique and therefore special.

I am also frequently an early bidder and like Bill, I always bid an amount that I would be happy to pay if I won. The idea is to raise as much money as possible so the more people that bid the better. These should not be treated like other eBay auctions where the hope is to get it as low as possible. If you really want it, bid what YOU think it's worth (or at least what you can afford to pay).

My 2c as always. YMMV

I can actually spot certain members now even with the 'masked' version of their ebay name :)

I really like this item. It's a rather unique double remarque you don't see very often.

It would be a crying shame if this item went for the current bid, $142.50. The art alone is worth $200+ not to mention the s/h it would cost to get it done. As mentioned before it's a really unique item as well.

The book is at a price I never imagined.
I don't think it needs any more promotion. The market will dictate.
Let's sit back and enjoy the show.

If this item goes for less than $300 it will be a real steal!!! Get in there folks!!! Erin, is not doing this type of art anymore. This is your last chance!!!

Bill, I just recommended we not promote the auction; and now you promote the auction...
Since you are a great guy I will send positive rep to you AFTER the auction is over...IF you let it happen.

Oh, very sorry. We must have been posting at the very same time. My apologies. Somehow, no matter my intentions, I always seem to get myself in trouble. Believe me, it is not intentional, just a by product of my enthusiasm for the cause. Again, my apologies.

Bill can't help himself. He gets itchy fingers when there hasn't been any bidding action for more than 10 minutes. Hell, even I just had to stop myself from cheerleading this auction some more. :panic:

Promoting the HF is like a drug, it needs to be promoted! LOL! :drool:

Still, if Bill screws up before the end of this auction, can I have his positive rep? He is bound to post something to promote it. Guaranteed! LOL! LOL! :lol:

Well, I was kinda proud of myself for holding out as long as I did. I'll take a hit for the HF, no problem!!



$212.50!!!


Bit of a steal IMHO however, big time congrats to the winner!!! He/She got a real gem there!!

So, fearless leader with that one sort of in the books where do we stand?
