Intriguing Stephen King/King Related/Dark Tower Auctions-Sales

Maybe an opportunity to pick up SOD Vol 1 gift edition for a decent price. Comes with Vol 2 as well.

Not now. The word is out.:P

[Ben Staad]

Two left, price is $3.84. I have no idea what is going on.

I picked one of these up as well! For a little less then $8.00 it will be interesting what of anything shows up or if we will be getting a message from the seller stating the price was an error.

Update: I just received a shipping notification for the super cheap UTD collectors edition! We will see what actually shows up.

Fingers Crossed!!!!

[Robert Fulman]

I emailed them and asked why they were changing the price, and they said they often do that to "keep up with the market".

[Jimimck]

So, some of us are going to either be very excited with a good deal, or asking for refunds from our credit card companies lol.

[Jimimck]

Unsure if this is a good buy or not, but some of you UK collectors may be interested in a 1st Shining?

Not to beat a dead horse, but UtD collector's is back at $4.79; more than ten available.

When this version was originally published I reluctantly purchased it thinking something like this might happen. If they do the same type of thing with 11/22/63 I will definitely pass and wait for remaindered copies like this.

[Robert Fulman]

I'm sure someone will notice that the economics just don't work out. 25,000 books at $75 per is just too much; I'm curious how many copies are still sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

I'm watching azulio.com (the site of the people who are selling the book on eBay) because they offer free shipping for orders over $50. Would I but 10 or 12 copies of this book and have them delivered for free? If you asked my wife, she would tell that that is exactly the kind of stupid thing I've been known to do.

[Robert Fulman]

$2.73; I apologize for finding this so fascinating.

[Cook]

I'm buying one, at $6.72 delivered, what the hell.
Worst case, I'm out $6.72

[Robert Fulman]

They're all gone; looks like someone bought 27 of them.

[Robert Fulman]

Is anyone watching this sale (LINK (http://cgi.ebay.com/Stephen-King-Darktower-Gunslinger-Fantasy-Science-Fict-/140534214218?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item20b87dee4a))? Selling the five Gunslinger issues of F&SF Magazine, but the seller is extremely impatient. The sale started four days ago at $350, but has dropped to $175, $100, $70, and now $65. I only need two of them, so it's too steep for me, but that seems like an okay price to snag them at if you don't have any of them (I admit that I recently paid $17.50 just for "The Way Station").

[biomieg]

I think it's a somewhat reasonable price. Certainly better than $350 but there are many collectors who prefer their magazines without address labels. Still, I would have considered it if I didn't already have a full set (which I purchased for less than $65).

[Cook]

Which two do you need ?

[Robert Fulman]

The two I need are "The Oracle and the Mountains" and "The Gunslinger and the Dark Man".

Someone bought it at $65; looks like I'll have to find another sale to watch.

Wow. I don't recall the illustration on the far right in the photo ever making it into the book. Is that the Dark Man with a twisted coathanger? From Frannie's dream perhaps? Too controversial?

I can only find the oracle & the mountains right now, I know I have more somewhere... ..I'll keep looking.
We're in the middle of painting, so everything's in disarray.

Intriguing.

[Ben Staad]

Here's a red S/L presentation copy Eyes of the Dragon, #120, with two inscriptions. http://cgi.ebay.com/Stephen-King-EYES-DRAGON-Signed-RED-Limited-/280661041461?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item4158b3a135

Very cool! I've only read about these and have actually never seen one (I'm sure it's in the catalog). Since I'm newer to collecting what would one expect to pay for a copy of this? The BIN price of $1,200 doesn't seem crazy to me...although that is way out of my price range.

[biomieg]

I am not very knowledgeable either when it comes to the more arcane items like these. But given that a nice copy of the 'black-inked' version of the S/L can go for $600-900, a price of $1,200 does not seem excessive. Tomas at stephenkingcollector.com lists the red-inked version at $1,200-1,600.

[Ric]

I used to have a red inked copy of this years ago. I believe it was something like #92 or thereabouts, it was dedicated to someone at Viking, a senior editor I believe. I sold it shortly after I got it for a small profit. I've never been much of a fan of items inscribed to someone else. I know there are collectors who are and that's cool, but personally, I always feel like I'm simply holding on to a book that belongs to someone else.

They certainly are rare though, that's for sure.

I still have the black inked copy that I bought directly from Philtrum Press waaaay back when. I'll most likely never sell that one.

[biomieg]

Which makes me wonder: isn't it likely that many of these contain additional inscriptions/signatures? Since they are part of a separate print run that was meant to be given/presented to specific people?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

My copy is numbered 197 and inscribed to Terry Tidwell.

I think you are right. I have seen quite a few of the red letter edition copies with two inscriptions. I don't know for sure but I always thought the ones with the second inscription were copies that were given (presented) to the recipient in person.

[Robert Fulman]

Got my two $6 UtD collectors editions today. One was pristine, the other had a torn belly band; good luck everyone.

[Randall Flagg]

Sorry about the torn belly band. Somewhere I have a mint unfolded dj for the S/L UTD, and a mint belly band.

I'm not 100% certain of course, but I believe the vast majority of the red numbered editions all have secondary inscriptions. They were intended as Christmas presents for folks on the Kings' Christmas list.

That is the information in The Catalog. By selling the 1,000 black numbered editions, the 250 red editions were paid for.

[George at C-Springs]

Well, someone found it intriguing enough ... sold for the BIN of $1200! Anyone here? Now that I've actually seen a red ink, I think it'll have to be added to my want list; the trick will be finding one inscribed to George :-)

THe shining...Kubrick rejected king's screenplay, but I think that was normal for kubrick.

Sorry...I get extra excited when an SK item is within my price range now a days.

[harrison ryan]

No apologies necessary, my friend. I wasn't going for it, we were just posting at the same time (co-posting?). I know what you mean about price range. Looks like a great buy. I saw this one in carlosdetweiller's collection thread the other day (post #143 on this (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?6447-Book-Collection-carlosdetweiller/page6) page) in his showcase of the many publications of "One For the Road". Congrats!

Actually, there are eight SK-authored lettered editions up on eBay right now: Skeleton Crew Letter I, SOD1 Letter C, Talisman Letter K, Cujo Letter R, Danse Macabre Letter ?, Colorado Kid Miller & Potter versions (PC copies), and From a Buick 8 (PC).

Without haggling, all of those could be yours for only $20.5K. Only!

[biomieg]

George, for an additional $19,000 you can be the next owner of Mike's lettered FIRESTARTER (consigned at Betts). I know you're only listing all these lettered editions here to convince yourself that you should buy them so maybe this helps you to pull the proverbial trigger?

They can all be yours.

You know you want them.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

All these Lettered Editions have been on sale for years, and will still be on sale years from now, unless the prices drop substantially.

[George at C-Springs]

Believe me Michaël, if I had an extra $39.5K hanging around it wouldn't be spent on books ... need to have that millionare tag next to my name before I can throw away money like that! Really like that Talisman though ........

I do wonder why folks won't drop their prices when they just know the items aren't going to sell for what they're asking ... seems all they're doing is wasting ebay fees. I realize it's probably because they still want to make a profit (or not take a loss, as the case may be) on a purchase which has since lost value, which of course isn't likely to happen unless the market swings radically. There are some, like the $2K IT Proof, which just don't make sense ... other copies have come and gone for less than a quarter the price. Sellers just waiting for someone really uninformed to make a bad purchase? Seems to me it should be just like stocks; sometimes you guess right and make a profit, sometimes you break even, sometimes you take a loss ... but you have to know when to sell on the loss so that you don't lose even more.

[divemaster]

I do wonder why folks won't drop their prices when they just know the items aren't going to sell for what they're asking ... seems all they're doing is wasting ebay fees.

I have the same question. I track a number of eBay sellers and there are a couple that have listed books for years. And I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of books, not just one or two. And they never sell. Prices are WAY out of whack with today's market. It's like a perpetual listing.

Must be some sort of a tax dodge? Maybe a note to the IRS for an audit would change their outlook.

[jhanic]

I don't know about a tax dodge. I don't see how any of what they're doing would be deductible. Plus, they're piling up the fees, etc. that COULD be deductible, but they have to show a profit before they can claim the deductions. (I'm not a tax expert by any means, but I just finished my taxes and #$%&^*&).

John

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Maybe they need to show that their "assets" are worth a lot, to get credit? Just guessing.

[divemaster]

I think it's just denial of reality and self deception. One day it will sell! It has to! It MUST! I paid 2 grand for this book and by God I've GOT to make a profit!

[ELazansky]

This doesn't just go for high-ticket items. Some sellers have a bottom price in mind and will never go lower than it. I've seen books listed for something like $200.00, with the Make an Offer option listed. I'll offer something like $170, and the seller rejects it. Weeks later, the book is still sitting there for $200. The seller HAS to get $200 or they won't be happy, even though they could have $170 right now.

Totally agree with this Eric. I've seen this so many times I often wonder why they bothered with the "Make Offer" feature in the first place. I've offered 10% under asking price on an item that was less than $120 and it was rejected. Then I watch that item continue to sit there and be relisted over and over. In the meantime, other copies of the same item come onto eBay at a lower price, and sell. Yet this guy just keeps humming along waiting for that perfect suck... er, buyer!

[Rahfa]

Haha....two of those books are mine - the SC lettered "I" and a Talisman Lettered.

The listing prices are pretty high.....I think $3200 for the SC is okay, but at the very high end. I think it would sell very quickly at $2500 or so. But...I don't want to sell it unless I can make a big score. It's not bothering me sitting on a bookshelf, and if the day comes along where somebody buys it, then everyone's happy.

Betts has sold a couple for around $3K, so it's not an unreasonable price. A little high, sure, but it's in the market range. The Talisman is also high, but again, it's free to list so I'm going to put it up and see what happens.

But, yeah, I'm right there with people who say "damn, THIS item again?" That's why I n-e-v-e-r mention my listings here. If you see them on ebay, great, but I'm not going to come here and try to drum up traffic for something that I've relisted many times.

If you're reporting taxes as a business, with profits and losses, then you can deduct listing fees...the IRS sees a lot of this as a hobby, and you don't have to report it if that's the case.

If I use 'make an offer,' then I accept offers within a reasonable range.

[Ric]

Am I missing something here, or does this guy (http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-DOLORES-CLAIBORNE-STEPHEN-KING-PAGES-CUT-WRONG-/320688290912?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item4aaa82fc60) just not understand what deckle (ragged) edge books are? :wtf:

[Randall Flagg]

Who know, perhaps he is aware, and just waiting for a fool to buy it.

[Shannon]

Ric and RF, I have a book that has those edges ... Deckled, you called it ... Let me see which one ... Yep, Dolores Claiborne. I looked up the definition, but I'm not too sure if it's intentional or not for the book to be printed this way.

[Randall Flagg]

There are several King titles that intentionally had the "deckled" edges. I'll check to see and then note them in the Catalog. If anyone wishes to assist by providing the trade titles, it would be nice and appreciated.

I got mine as well in decent shape from the same seller. It was shipped in a padded mailer, but like I said it showed up ok....and for $10 shipped, I did not expect packaging to be any better.

Interesting thing....the seller's account shows as suspended currently.

On a related topic, I bought another copy of this book this week for even less! $0.99 plus $4.46 shipping.

UTD Collector's Edition (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120710431877)

Two copies of this in one week for an average price of $7.50......one-tenth of the publisher's price.

So glad I did not buy this from Scribner for $75 in 2009.

[Jimimck]

Got my two $6 UtD collectors editions today. One was pristine, the other had a torn belly band; good luck everyone.

I received mine the other day (Saturday) and it's in great shape. It sounds like I probably got lucky.

Should I be worried that the seller is no longer registered on Ebay? I can't even look at the details of my auction I won. Fingers crossed!

azuliocom (sellers of UtD) are back on eBay, with userid "userid955632 (http://myworld.ebay.com/userid955632/)". Don't know what happened, but they lost all of their listings and their name, but they still have the same feedback score.

[harrison ryan]

My UTD Collector's Edition came today...very good condition. USPS put it in the wrong truck yesterday so it arrived a day later than I expected, and they dinged it a good one to the upper right corner to boot, but luckily the damage was very minor. It just mashed the corner down a little. Bubble mailers are for the birds. All the same, I feel like I came out great on this one. Thanks again for the link!

[Shannon]

Hi, question: Hypothetically speaking (not really) if I bid on say, fifteen things from the same seller, and I win them all, without any verbalization or talking at all, should I expect the seller to be placing them in as few shipments as possible, or should I automatically expect him/her to ship them all individually and accept shipping money for each? I'm new to the Ebay game ...

[Patrick]

Most regular sellers state that they reduce shipping for multiple sales. If no such statement is made, you should ask in advance of bidding.

[Merlin1958]

Patrick is right. Definitely contact them regarding combined s/h ASAP

[Shannon]

Cool thanks. This Ebay thing is definitely gonna drain my bank account faster than Betts and you guys combined ... lol

[biomieg]

It is ALWAYS a good idea to initiate some e-mail contact with an eBay seller before bidding.

[Shannon]

Hello, my name is Shannon, and I am officially an Ebay-aholic.

I had so much fun today running down the clock on a ton of auctions (mostly from the same guy, who, FYI, agreed to combined shipping, yay!), winning most of them with my original $.99 bid. Love it love it love it.

Stock, I'm always a fan of Chadbourne's stuff, his two remarqued pages for the upcoming secret Haven prize are ridiculous. Check it out if you haven't.

George, still new to Ebay so please explain to me ... Why do people start an auction at a lower price than their reserve? Shouldn't they START it at their reserve? Maybe they want to gain interest in it before it gets to such high a price? A little confused.

Shannon

[George at C-Springs]

Beats the heck outta me, I never understood it either. Could be that they just want to guage interest, see what kind of bids they'll actually get .. maybe get a bidding war going. I agree, it doesn't make much sense to start at a price lower than what you're willing to accept ... but apparently it works for some people.

If you're monitoring tons of auctions but don't want to place bids early (so as not to raise the price), you might want to think about using a sniping program. Also helps in not forgetting to place a bid, or to place one on your behalf id you can't be at a computer. Just google "eBay sniping" and you'll see lots of options.

[Shannon]

Today's stuff was just some stuff that I saw and thought "Well, I'll buy just about anything for a dollar, so why not" lol, the only non-dollar one I won were the Skeleton Crew audio cassettes, beat out some guy's .99 bid with three seconds to go. If that's anyone here, sorry, lol.

But YESTERDAY I won an auction for some Castle Rock Newsletters. I bid early but then had to go to work and during work I got an email saying I was outbid. Well, the military tends to block a lot of websites while on work computers, so I had to call my mom, lol, and have her put in a last second bid for me. I love my mother, lol.

I can vouch for the seller (although I am new here myself, lol), this is my local Stephen King bookseller in Las Vegas, the one that got me started collecting by selling me my Skeleton Crew pre-publication package. I have since bought many things from her, face-to-face. If anyone has any serious offers they want me to throw her way, let me know, I don't mind being the middle man. And, coming from me, if I say it's for me, she might go quite a bit lower. Then you and I would work out some kind of money transfer, because I don't have $1,000+ extra just laying around lol.

Copies are priced between $1250 and $2250 on ABE. I suspect they just had a reasonable reserve on it. I certainly wouldn't sell one for less than $1K.

[Patrick]

I guess they are more expensive than I thought. I had figured anything over $850 would be in the realm of fair market. Do you consider ABE's current price range as reflecting current sales prices on this one? (Honest question, I don't know.)

My guess would be in the $1200 to $1500 range but I haven't followed recent sales that closely. We might check with David at Betts and see what he has sold them for recently.

[Ric]

Reserve prices are just inane IMO. Better to set a Buy It Now price and have the Make Offer feature on. Then if someone wants it, they buy it or make an offer. None of this "bidding" charade for 7 days and at the end, nothing happens. It's a colossal waste of time.

Bidders are funny if you start an auction low, even with a reserve, bidders will bid but if you start and auction high bidders tend to stay away and the auction will have much less watchers/interest than an auction that starts low.

Did it happen to be the seller "rokudan61"? I've won 8 auctions with first appearances, also all about a dollar.

I tend to agree with you. Reserve prices are a carryover from regular live auctions and are useful (and necessary) on big ticket items, such as houses, Picasso originals, etc. They really don't seem to be that necessary in online auctions for items of modest value. I've never liked them and tend to not bid on auctions that have them.

[WeDealInLead]

I have some King limited editions on eBay now and they all have a reserve. They were modest but at the same time I got the absolute lowest I'd have accepted for the books. If they haven't been met, I'd have gladly kept the books. I could be wrong but I think BIN option also has a higher fee than a reserve fee.

[Ric]

I think these are the same ones he/she had listed last week, same deal, none sold.

[biomieg]

You are probably right! I wonder if the seller lowered the reserve prices.

[George at C-Springs]

Yes, it's the same seller ... steve871 with a feedback of 28. Don't know about the reserve, but starting bids are lower. The one for Es was $599 last week, this time it's only $150. The Skeleton Crew has a single bid of $400 on it, and that has met the reserve.

The Six Stories is over-priced.

Especially without a custom slipcase.

[George at C-Springs]

Compared to The Collector's bar charts, with the exception of the October sale it is definitely priced on the high end. But then if you look on the Six Stories page itself, the S/Ls are shown valued at between $650 ~ $900; seller may have used that as a reference. Either way, I'll drop Tomas a note asking if he plans on updating individual book pages information to reflect current sales trends.

My logic is that the slipcase is worth $30, and DTIII first is worth $35. The other two books aren't first editions, but let's say they are worth $30 each. I typically see these listed between $200 and $250, and that just seems high to me.

I think you're on the low end there. A 1st Wastelands is worth more than $35 for sure, and a 3rd Gunslinger by itself typically gets $50-60 at auction.

You'd think if you were asking people to spend 20 large that you'd take the time to spell check your listing and make sure it's somewhat presentable.

I thought exactly the same thing, I was amazed at the number of grammatical mistakes ... then again English may be his second language, you never know. I also wondered why only the one photo posted, and why he wouldn't pop for S & H on a $20K auction. All that put together made me check his feedback just to see if it was legit, but it looks okay. I'm sure somebody here knows who the seller is.

[jhanic]

Yes, by far! He also lists it as signed and inscribed, but there's no inscription.

It is possible that he made an error in putting in the price. He has a few other King items for sale at $225. He may have put the decimal place incorrectly.

John

[carlosdetweiller]

Like John suggested it is likely just a case of a misplaced decimal. I don't particularly care for this seller. I've bought a couple of things from him over the years and found them to be somewhat overgraded with important defects sometimes left out of the descriptions. Having said that, DT 6 is one of the harder volumes of that series to find with a legit signature. $225 is probably a pretty good price, IMO.

[jhanic]

It's fixed. Price is $225.

feedback score of 4... and never sold a king book...

I wouldn't count on it being a first first, first second, or a first third.... If he doesn't want to take the shrink off to verify it... he must not want to sell it that much.

[Niels]

I didn't even consider buying, I think it's a BS auction!

I know of a Dutch collector who bought a shrinkwrapped gunslinger for $700. When he told me I thought : "What were you thinking?".
(I kept my thoughts with me)

[biomieg]

You should be able to tell by the color of the yellow lettering on the DJ - 1/1 is a different shade of yellow than 1/2.

[carlosdetweiller]

You should be able to tell by the color of the yellow lettering on the DJ - 1/1 is a different shade of yellow than 1/2.

This is exactly right. But without a copy of the other edition to hold it up against it might be hard for the novice collector to determine from the shade of yellow alone. The tops (and bottoms) of the boards should be visible through the shrinkwrap. Brown for a first edition and dark gray (nearly black) for the second edition.

[carlosdetweiller]

Here are a couple of books from my collection, still shrinkwrapped, to show the differences.

First picture: first edition on left, second edition on right. Yellow is much brighter on first edition.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/gunslingers12.jpg

Second picture: first edition (brown boards) on top, second edition (dark gray boards) on bottom. Easier to tell them apart this way.

I think by asking the proper questions you can tell if it is a first/first. I thought it looked legit and bookmarked it because I plan to bid on it later. I doubt I'll get to his reserve price though.

[Niels]

Ok, now I'm off. So only the 1/1 and 1/2 have these type of dustjackets?

[biomieg]

Even though the DJ is damaged? Don't get me wrong, I would buy a 1st/1st GUNSLINGER with a small tear in the DJ if the price is right but if you already have several superior copies... just curious, Bob!

If there is anyone out there who wants an UtD Collector's edition, it's available on eBay right now for $6.79 plus $3.99 shipping (LINK (http://cgi.ebay.com/Under-Dome-Collectors-Set-Novel-Stephen-King-/290555136151?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item43a66f8897)), still in shrinkwrap, 10 available. Just thought you'd like to know.

I just got an email from this seller, saying there was a "shipping error" and so they refunded my money. Arseholes.
Where else am I going to find one of these for $7!

They didn't even contact me to discuss the issue, and have ignored my queries and requests just to send me another book (I know they probably can't, but I was just trying to engage them in discussion).

Anyway, I'm annoyed to have missed out on what seemed like a good opportunity!

The seller knows what he has and has priced it accordingly. I think the price might be a little high but copies of UBRIS with original King material hardly ever come up for sale. King had original material in four issues and they are all scarce. I was paying about $200 per issue in 1999 but could never find the Spring, 1968 issue with "Here There Be Tygers" and "Cain Rose Up." As good luck would have it the editor Murray Shulman found a few "mint" copies in his garage and in January 2001 put up copies of the Spring 1968 issue and the Fall 1968 (with "Strawberry Spring" and "Harrison State Park '68 ) issue on eBay. I bought one of each from him for $500 apiece. And they were in remarkably nice condition. I had a few e-mail conversations with Murray over the next several weeks and learned that he printed 600 copies of the Spring 1968 issue and 1000 copies of the Fall 1968 issue.

If someone has any interest at all in early (pre-CARRIE) material they should definitely consider this one. It may be a long time before any more come up for sale. Just my opinion.

You might be right but I have a feeling he sold it out of eBay for close to his "Buy It Now" price.

General question: Do you think that a signature adds much value to an already rare item? Of course, legit signatures are always desirable. But would (for discussion purposes) a signed CELL proof sell for that much more than an unsigned one?

Would King's signature add much value to your 1st State 'Salem's Lot? Probably not, but very desirable.

$1,600 for it (presuming it is mint), including the original shipping box is a decent deal. If a person really wants the book, and can afford it, I say go get it. Just make sure you charge it as the seller has a (5) rating. We all have to start but it's better to be safe (as a buyer), than sorry.

[carlosdetweiller]

Also, make sure it has the glassine dj. I don't see it in the pictures. Things like that are not important to everyone but are to most anal collectors (like myself).

I would love to click buy it now on this, but enjoy being married too much.

I've always teased my wife that she needs to buy this book for me to make us even for the engagement ring she got out of me. I call it the engagemnt book...

[George at C-Springs]

I would have grabbed it if I had $1600 lying around. I think he's listed it before and had it not sell; in the paragraph he says he's selling it for $2500, and down the bottom he says it won't be relisted. Although of course that doesn't really mean anything. The 5 feedback definitely caught my eye, but then I saw the photos w/original packaging and thought the same thing ... you have to start somewhere as a seller. I didn't know about the glassine dust jacket!

That seller (bookbid) seems to always have books priced WAY too high. They remind me of bloodyrarebooks. I always read the listings and find them interesting.

[biomieg]

Bloodyrarebooks, yes. I'm always wondering how they survive. I mean, they have to sell something in order to maintain their store and their fancy website, right? But their asking prices are outrageous. Like you say, they probably do sell a book every now and then, but...

[divemaster]

re bloodyrarebooks:

I check their completed sales every couple of weeks or so and I've never seen a sale of anything other than a lower tier filler item or common. And rarely even that. I'm talking about 1000s and 1000s of ended eBay listings with no sales. Perhaps they have a B/M store that actually sells something?

He's a store for sure, but he still might be selling off a private collection of his own or somebody else's. He advertised a couple of times in Dark Discoveries back in 2009 and seems like a nice guy, but complained he had no sales from the ads (which is hard to count anyway unless you have a code that comes from the ad - even then people often don't use them. Fortunately, I have many other advertisers who have had great results and understand how marketing works as well) and never advertised again with us. I looked at some of his prices on his site and ebay auctions and figured out pretty quickly why he didn't have any sales. He runs ads in Rue Morgue, Fango, etc. too but if your prices are too high it makes no difference. The economy and what people will pay often dictates what you should sell something for - regardless of what you want to charge. (I know well enough myself and i'm sure many of you guys here.)

Any idea of what this is?

http://www.amazon.com/DOLANS-CADILLAC-FILM/dp/6132753931/
It is the wikipedia article on "Dolan's Cadillac (Film)" printed out, bound, and sold as if it were a book.


Are you sure? It's 98 pages... it's more likely to be a reprint of the short story, no?
edit : i see the logo. High quality content by wikipedia articles.

What does that mean??

Script maybe?
