I wouldn't give up hope of getting the LSOA until it's closer to the drawing time. Who knows what can happen between now and April. Good luck.

[mistercrowley]

Oh no I'm not thinking about giving up yet. My problem is knowing where to look for LSOS

[mistercrowley]

I found a PC S/L of LSOS. I'd buy it if it entitled me to a PC of WTTKH but that is too much to ask for I fear

[AKC]

Send a PM to Nerak (Karen) here at TDT. She works for Grant!

Hey, it never hurts to ask!!!!

AKC

[mistercrowley]

Pm sent. Another member gave me a heads up. You guys are on top of it. I should have been here before the limited 11/22/63 went up for sale

[tippy4]

The answer will be no.

No way they are going to deny the owners of LSOE #801 -1250 a copy of TWTTKH, but give one to a guy with a PC copy.

[AKC]

mistercrowley.............there you have it.

Good luck anyway. I'm pulling' for ya'.

AKC

[mistercrowley]

Couldnt hurt to ask. I'll snag a copy of it somehow. Working on it as we speak

[Ari_Racing]

Yeah, I don't think you lose anything by asking. :)

[Rahfa]

The answer will be no.

No way they are going to deny the owners of LSOE #801 -1250 a copy of TWTTKH, but give one to a guy with a PC copy.

I wouldn't be quite that unequivocal, but I doubt it...I mean, Grant shouldn't give PC books out, but that doesn't mean they won't...there'd be some bitterness from it, I'm sure.

On another note, this is all months away....I'm not sure what the real demand is going to be. But, I was surprised about the 11/22/63 s/l prices.

[Randall Flagg]

First $200 takes it (plus actual shipping).

Great Stuff, AKC!!!!

[Brice]

I didn't even know there was a print of that. I like it.

[Bev Vincent]

I have a copy of that kicking around somewhere, too. I don't remember how I acquired it, though. I rediscovered it, much to my surprise, a couple of years ago!

[Jimimck]

Hi team.
I might have a chance to pick up a UK 1st/1st 'Salem's Lot, and was wondwering if anyone would be keen on purchasing it?

All I know about it's condition so far is that it is not price clipped, has some page discolourisation on copyright page and has a small tear in the dustjacket on the front (maybe 1cm top left near spine).

If anyone is keen, PM me and I'll see if I can lay my hands on it. It is for sale by a local seller.

Cheers

Hi there! I have already posted my collection in the collection thread, but wanted to put it here, too, so everyone knows that I need to sell...Christmas is coming, and I have expectant children! I don't have a big collection, and nothing compared to what I've seen posted here, but thanks for taking the time to look :)

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/dungeondeb/IMG_20111206_142046.jpg

The bizarre fused book. I guess some enterprising soul grabbed this from the publisher before it could be cut? I don't know... No one seems to know what it is.

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/dungeondeb/IMG_20111206_142327.jpg

Plume, Grant and Grant-Scribner ARCs for Dark Tower 3-7, most of them nestled snugly in protective plastic. I can post closeups if anyone wants them. None of these are signed, or anything fun like that, unfortunately.

Original pencil artwork by Jai Lee for The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born comics. I can give you the page and issue number if you want it.

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/dungeondeb/PICT0115.jpg

The other Jai Lee page. These are big! Again, I'm happy to dig out the page number and issue if it makes a difference.

I hope you see something you like! Feel free to PM offers :) Thank you for looking...

Deb - Did you offer the Double DTVII monstrosity on ebay a few months ago? I think it, or one like it, went unsold at $24.99, and I have kinda regretted not buying it.

Money's always good :) I approve of this comment.

Bob :if only we could trade first borns for sk collectibles. :sigh:

[CRinVA]

Brice - I was just thinking - if I traded my first born, would my second born then become my new first born and eligible for trade!

just thinking- not considering - really! ;-)

[Stockerlone]

:lol:

Bob :if only we could trade first borns for sk collectibles. :sigh:

Long live the barter transaction. There is more ´Stuff´ for trading action:
Not that important organs, the soul.....:biggrin:

[Brice]

Brice - I was just thinking - if I traded my first born, would my second born then become my new first born and eligible for trade!

just thinking- not considering - really! ;-)

Sadly in order for second borns, etc. to become first borns there has to be total elimination of first borns. One example of this would be say I traded my nonexistent first born for a nifty new SK collectible and then my First born were sacrificed to/for whatever. In this instance my nonexistent second born becomes my nonexistent first born and thus eligible for trade for the next nifty new collectible. This goes on ad infinitum.Unfortunately there's never really been much of a market for second borns though. This could be a new niche. There is opportunity here.

Bob :if only we could trade first borns for sk collectibles. :sigh:

Oh, though I tend toward the agnostic side I've bartered for many souls. They make great bargaining chips...just in case. :evil: As for organs I prefer to trade those of others more than my own.

Thanks for looking, and happy shopping!

[DungeonDeb]

P.S. So sorry about the horrible picture quality!

[Randall Flagg]

You didn't receive a response because you are:


New here and no one knows you, therefore any prospective buyer is reticent to send you $700.
Your prices are too high-including the Jae Lee art.
The double book is a novelty-not (IMO) worth $10

[divemaster]

Well, in her defense, in the appraisal thread she asked for value estimates b/c she didn't know. She didn't receive any responses and she still doesn't know (admitted in her post) so she took a guess here in this thread. I was kindof hoping someone would help her out. (I know nothing at all about proofs and drawings, so I'm no help on that end.)

[scstandpipe]

...yeah getting no responses had nothing to do with her being new or receiving money; that was about pricing. Yes, the prices are too high, but that's why she said to PM her for offers ...I would gladly help out, but pricing ARCs, etc. for me is like reading Korean :)

[Shannon]

I don't think the prices are that high. It comes out to about $100 per proof/ARC. I don't know how the comic book process works, if they are just pencil sketches not used in the actual comic book, then the prices are a little high I would think. But if they were "comic-used" then I think they are a decent starting amount. And if I saw the fused book at a garage sale for $10, I think I would buy it. Online, it's a little harder, because $10 becomes $15 due to shipping. :)

As far as sending an unknown person a lot of money, I would do mulitple transactions. That way, the most I'd lose is $100.

[Brice]

I'm clueless about that stuff myself. If I had money I'd at best pay twenty or thirty for the double book, but I tend to like weird quirky items.

I think I spent about thirty for my special reading copy of DTII a year or two back. I don't really keep records of what i buy stuff for though. The others should be higher I think, but I don't know how much.

[oy-the-brave]

I don't know how the comic book process works, if they are just pencil sketches not used in the actual comic book, then the prices are a little high I would think. But if they were "comic-used" then I think they are a decent starting amount. .

These are the actual pages Jae Lee drew and then were painted by Richard Isanove so definately used in the actual production of the comic.

I don't know for sure but the price was probably 350.00 - 400.00 originaly from Albert Moy, they have not sold on Ebay for 250.00 - 400.00 the listed starting bid in several auctions in the last month, being lesser pages I would guess that the would sell currently for about 200.00 each.

Wow. Of everyone I've met here, you're the only one who has made me feel ignorant, ashamed of my ignorance, and unwelcome.

Thank you so much, everyone who reiterated that I did, indeed, try to get my items appraised in the proper forum before dragging them out here and flinging crazy numbers at them. I appreciate everybody's input, because if there's anyone who knows what I've got (and what it's worth), it's the people who live and breathe Stephen King. :)

Yes, the Jae Lee pieces are comic-used, and no, they aren't selling very well on eBay. Now that I have a ballpark figure for their worth (thank you, thank you), I hope that changes!

As far as sending a random stranger $700, this is probably my ignorance speaking again, but I just assumed any deals made here would be consummated on eBay, where I AM known, and where I have tons of feedback to prove that I do, in fact, own and ship what I sell (please see eBay ID link in profile...I think I did that part right).

Deb

[Shannon]

Oy, if these were the original sketches that were then painted over, wouldn't they be in color? Or maybe comic book artists use some kind of carbon copy sheet when they draw? And I see where you're going with the pricing, and I've bought SK artwork but not comic book art before, but $200 seems really low for something "comic-used", no? If that's what they were worth, I would still put up a larger price and keep my fingers crossed.

Deb, don't feel too offended by Randall Flagg's post. He's like that sometimes. But (shocker, I know, lol) he's a good guy. Blunt, opinionated, and he smells, but a good guy. And he looks out for the people in the group by making sure tell them to be careful when making money transcations with people they don't know. In the end, it's all good. For every Randall Flagg, there's a Shannon. :)

[Brice]

Oy or Wiz would be the people I'd have asked re the comic sheets.

...and no shannon, they wouldn't be in color. Quite a lot of these were sold early on in the comic's history.

[Shannon]

Found it on Wikipedia. "The inker usually works directly over the penciller's pencil marks, though occasionally pages are inked on translucent paper, such as drafting vellum, preserving the original pencils."

So, with THAT being said, technically the comic book pages AREN'T "comic-used" but more of a study, if they were painted over, right?

[Brice]

I honestly don't know. I thought they were colored and then used. Most anyone could tell you more than me about comics. I just have a small box full of them.

[WeDealInLead]

Found it on Wikipedia. "The inker usually works directly over the penciller's pencil marks, though occasionally pages are inked on translucent paper, such as drafting vellum, preserving the original pencils."

So, with THAT being said, technically the comic book pages AREN'T "comic-used" but more of a study, if they were painted over, right?

Nope. Comics work this way: sketch/study, (original) pencils, inking, colouring, lettering.

What you see here are the original pencils before they were inked. Study is something the artist submits to the author for approval or to get a feel for the characters. Think of THESE pencils as the final manuscript that King submits to the publisher. The publisher will adjust the font, layout, add illustrations etc but it's King's final manuscript it's all about. I'd say these original pencils are the equivalent of having a signed copy of the final manuscript. So yes, these were used in a comic, with added inks, colour and lettering but they're not just a study.

[Shannon]

I get that. But unless there is some kind of "layer" that goes over the penciling "layer", or maybe if the pencils were scanned into a computer and then printed out for the inker, if the inker inked/colored onto these pages, they would be in ink/color. I think I'm missing something, lol

[Brice]

though occasionally pages are inked on translucent paper, such as drafting vellum, preserving the original pencils.


...from your wiki quote. :)

[carlosdetweiller]

I'm not an expert on comic book production but most all original comic book art is in black and white. Whether it is original comic book pages or originals that were used for Sunday newspaper comic strip sections, the original artist work is in pencil or pen. Other art specialists add color and lettering. Here is a link to Albert Moy's website. He specializes in this stuff. As you can see most is in pencil or black ink. I suspect that Albert Moy was the original seller of the artwork DungeonDeb is selling.

I don't mean to make you feel ignorant, nor unwelcome here. For coming across too bluntly, I apologize.

[Bev Vincent]

Richard Isanove does his inking digitally. Jae's pencils are scanned and sent to Isanove, who turns them into a layer in photoshop. Isanove colors the pencils to integrate them into the artwork, but all of his work is in Photoshop. Therefore, all of Jae's original pencils should exist as unadulterated artwork. I spoke to Isanove at length about his process recently for a forthcoming project.

[Shannon]

Thank you Bob and Bev.

Mirror.

[Patrick]

Back at the TDT gathering in Vegas (in late 2008 ), a group of us met Jae Lee and his dealer, Albert Moy, in person. We got to see some of these original pages in person - examples that Jae brought with him, as well as the personal collections of Dave (oy-the-brave) and David (wizardsrainbow). If you appreciate Jae's syle of art as seen in the comic books, these originals are even better.

[Shannon]

I've seen pictures of that gathering. :) One year before I came to Vegas and two years before I started collecting. Hopefully I'll be meeting up with you guys at the next gathering. :)

[Patrick]

Absolutely. I think we're due for another one.

Shannon,
How's it going on the "upcoming" soon to be released super collection?

[Shannon]

Not a super collection, but a lot of great items. It's going good. Slow, but good. I'm just a little worried that because there are quite a few high priced items (market value) that they won't sell. But then again, the lettered Firestarter on eBay had quite a few bidders, so maybe I shouldn't worry too much.

Deb[/QUOTE]

BTW the price I estimated (200.00 per page) is based on what I have seen similar pages go for on Ebay. I have seen many sellers think they were going to sell pages for a profit unfortunately that has not been the case most have gone (if they sold at all) for between 30% - 50% less than they originaly sold for from Albert Moy. Believe me it pains me to say this as I have about 50 pages.

I have three Dan Simmons limited editions for sale:

Song of Kali (slipcased, Earthling) $70
Phases of Gravity (slipcased, gold edges, UK edition, not the SubPress reprint) $50
Hollow Man (slipcased, Lord John Press) $50

$150 for all three. I'm also interested in trades, King or other authors.

[mistercrowley]

He WeDeal. What are you looking for Trade wise?

[WeDealInLead]

Honestly, I'm so disappointed in Simmons as a human being that I'll take almost anything. PM me a list and I'm sure we'll work out a deal. I'm a huge fan of Lebbon, Mieville is pretty good too, Gaiman, Joe Hill, Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, Alan Moore (looking for hardcovers and 'absolute' editions I don't have,) Keene, Steve Vernon, John Urbancik and I'm always interested in affordable signed paperbacks like BMB does (your fav. publisher, I know)..

[carlosdetweiller]

Honestly, I'm so disappointed in Simmons as a human being that I'll take almost anything.

What has he done to disappoint you so?

[WeDealInLead]

If there is a polar opposite of my beliefs, he's right there. Except he's loud, arrogant and obnoxious about them. I must be masochistic though, because I read his forums on the regular where he's surrounded by his minions/yesmen and I can't help but to shake my head in disbelief. Xenophobia and racism are only the tip of the iceberg.

[tippy4]

Wow...I met him at a small signing in Orange, CA a couple years ago. He seemed like a nice guy.

[mistercrowley]

You know now that I think about it, Simmons and BMB have a lot in common. Loud mouthed, obnoxious etc etc. I wonder if that hurts sales for either of them. I think it does for BMB seeing as how they can't seem to move much merchandise anymore. Personally I've directed at least a hundred or so fellow collectors away from them. I have a collection of posts I like to show.

Do you have a list of books for trade?

[mistercrowley]

Sorry WeDeal after thinking about Smmons for a few minutes I've decided to I don't want his work as part of my collection. Every time I'd look at them I'd probably just get annoyed.

[mistercrowley]

Anyone else ever deal with something like that? If I dislike the writer as a person I can't bring myself to read anything they write. Same with publishers and booksellers and buying books.

[Brice]

For me it's all about story. They can be a total son of a bitch and I'll still love the stories. I've always liked Simmons stories. I haven't read the opinions that have been mentioned, but if I did my reaction would probably be oh, rascist xenophobic asshole who is a great writer. I don't think I want to read his opinions anymore.

[carlosdetweiller]

Anyone else ever deal with something like that? If I dislike the writer as a person I can't bring myself to read anything they write. Same with publishers and booksellers and buying books.

I try to overlook a writer's personal beliefs if I really like his writing. I think that politically Stephen King and I are about as opposite as you can be but I still enjoy reading his books. I guess I'd probably never get to see another movie if I boycotted anyone's work who believed differently than me. Very few conservatives in Hollywood.

[mistercrowley]

The political beliefs of someone dont bother me but when they go insane like Mel Gibson it really hampers my enthusiasm for anything that they touch. If you come off like a despicable human being I can't bring myself to support you in anyway is what it comes down to.

I can deal with talented whiner/douche bags though (I'm a big sports fan)

[WeDealInLead]

For the most part, one's politics don't bother me. Simmons seems to be over the top and as much as I like his books, I'll never buy a brand new one. I won't support him directly. Same goes for Orson Scott Card. Personal belief is one thing, but when those beliefs infringe on someone else's rights and freedom is where I draw the line.

King is a bleeding heart liberal but at least he's not talking down on anyone.

[Brice]

I can totally respect that, but I don't feel the same. I ultimately don't really care who wrote what I'm reading.

[jhanic]

I feel much the way carlos does. I ignore the author/performer's political beliefs or his/her personal life if I enjoy their works. This goes from music to films to books. I am a Vietnam veteran, and I still enjoy Jane Fonda's works, as I do those of Joan Baez, although both were/are very, very strongly against that conflict. Likewise, there are a number of musicians that I wouldn't invite to my house for dinner, but I still like their music.

[Rahfa]

This is a pretty good Simmons screed:

http://www.dansimmons.com/news/message/2006_04.htm

I've read quite a few Iraq-related memoirs by authors who disagree with me politically...but that's not the same thing. As for entertainers, I like David Mamet movies, even though he's to the right of Genghis Khan. I think I generally don't care, unless their art becomes their agenda.

On the other hand, I did like Ted Nugent when I was growing up, but now I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Hi team.
I have received a UK 1st/1st Salem's Lot, and am putting it up for sale.

Please note one member here has already expressed an interest in it, and if he confirms, it may already be sold.

In anticipation he may pass on it, I thought I'd pop it here for the rest of you to consider. It is in good condition, is NOT price clipped. I've put a few pictures below, but have more to send upon request.

There looks like a chunk out of the back panel of the d/j? Or is that the angle of the bottom picture?

[Jimimck]

Hi Rahfa,
Yeah I see what you mean, I hadn't noticed that.

It is just the angle of the dustjacket when I took the photo. (it's kind of curving downwards). There is no chunk missing...

Cheers
James

[Rahfa]

Ah, yeah, once you pointed that out, the curve is noticable...good to clarify that, though! Haha...

[tippy4]

Signed Limited audio version of The Drawing of the Three.
$275 plus $10 shipping and insurance (U.S. sales only).

Signed Limited edition of The Dark Tower VII.

Great price for the one that just sold on ebay. $104.50.

Did you get it Tippy?

Ugh! I was a two time loser on eBay today! First the Carrie Doubleday Reissue and then the Drawing Of The Three Audiobook S/L. Damn Christmas, can't bid high! :( lol

Never, ever, "Damn Christmas", Son!!!

Only time of the year we approach treating each other as we should, day in, day out. Otherwise, you risk those three ghost's!!!

[tippy4]

Yeah that was me. Not only did I get it for a cheap price, but the guy literally lives in the same town as I do, so I will just pick it up and not have to pay shipping fees.

I got unbelievably lucky on this one...I think I have seen less than five of these show up on ebay in the last ten years....and I bought the last two.

In March of this year I paid $612 plus shipping for a sealed DT1 and DT2 S/L audio on ebay. I figure the DT1 was worth about $200 or less, so that puts the DT2 at about $400 or more.

Our own COLLECTIBLE CATALOG (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Drawing+of+the+Three+The+DTII+-Audio+-+S+L) states "RARELY SEEN FOR SALE"

Bett's does not have one for sale, and I can't even find one on ABE.

[Shannon]

Well, sorry for hiking up the price by a little bit at the last few seconds, lol. Nice win. :)

[Patrick]

Congrats, Rick. I recall when you picked up the last one too.

I'd like to pick up an audiobook S/L of DTII, but it's not high on my awareness meter.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Geez, I wish I had the money for that DTII audio.

John

You could have bought it off ebay for $104.50. Tippy4 did, and now he is asking $275.

I dont really know the writer or his work (i started Drood), but one thing that i know, is that a french translator that was a good friend of him, started boycotting him a few years back, claiming to be disappointed by who he really was. I dont have the details but i believe it was the same reasons mentionned above.

[mistercrowley]

I was going to try and get that signed audio for my uncle but it slipped my mind. He has to listen to audios because he has muscular dystrophy and can't move his arms or legs much. Last year I got him a signed audio by Ronald Malfi and he loved it.

[Jimimck]

Just to confirm, the UK 1st/1st 'Salem's Lot is offically available for purchase.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f257/jimimck/Stephen%20King%20Books/SLFront.jpg

**DISCLAIMER** I'm no expert in grading books (in fact haven't done it before) and as such the following is my opinion of the books condition. I can send what ever photos you want to check it out....

Book is in good condition. No spine lean, no pen marks/owners names etc. Jacket has one small tear on front cover, and minor rubbing at top corners.
Price is NOT clipped.

PM me with any queries, request for photos/info etc. I have posted a few pics upthread and have heaps more to send through.
From past experiance, shipping from New Zealand is about $30ish (USD) but happy to get quotes before posting.

Cheers


**EDIT** Oh I should mention I'd be open to trading this in on something of equal or lesser value (with cash to make up the differece). I have a few King items on my want list and so let me know if you may have something of interest ;-)

I am asking $1000 shipped from my door to yours. Anywhere in the world. I will use the shipping company of YOUR choice.

All that has been opened is the box the book was shipped in to make sure the book was undamaged. I see no damage and will be happy to send pictures if they are requested.

As I said, I'm asking $1000. However, I'm not a fool, and this is the Christmas season. So, if you are interested in owning your very own copy of the Signed Limited edition of IT, please either PM me or email me at mscatoe@comporium.net with a serious offer.

I saw one up on ebay eariler today for, I think, 550 initial bid with a $750 BIN. That's about what I figured they would go for, and of course much more reasonable than ^this^.

[Shannon]

Hey guys, why complain? If he wants to put the price at two thousand dollars, that's up to him. Buy it, don't buy it, that's up to you. If you have some criticism or thoughts about his prices, why not send him a private message about it?

Shannon

I'm not complaining at all. I just mentioned that there is a cheaper one elsewhere. If I were in the market for one, I would appreciate someone telling me that.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I'm not complaining at all. I just mentioned that there is a cheaper one elsewhere. If I were in the market for one, I would appreciate someone telling me that.

One of the main things we do here, is to find members the best/cheapest deals on every book we can.

Why pay out more of your hard earned money than you have to.

[Shannon]

Neo, I apologize, I kind of lumped your post in with Garrell's post.

MRT, I agree that helping members find the best deals is a priority. At the same time, I think it's a little different when we publically critique a member's item for sale, in comparison with someone random off eBay, Abebooks, etc.

[Brice]

Anyone can try to sell any book at any price. Someone will buy it or they won't. Personally I wouldn't pay that much if I had it, but if Sam sells it for that good for him.

[Sam]

One of the main things we do here, is to find members the best/cheapest deals on every book we can.

Why pay out more of your hard earned money than you have to.

I agree with you completely RT. As you may remember from when I was active here on a regular basis, I was always looking for a good deal too. The truth of the matter is I am completely out of touch with the Stephen King market and I have no idea where IT will land. The other truth is I said I will entertain offers.

I'm not a book collector anymore. Since my wife Margaret's death in 2010, it's just lost it's flavor and hasn't returned, so I'm selling my copy of IT. I decided to sell the book several months after I purchased it.

If you don't want to pay my price, make me an offer. If you want to publicly critisize my pricing and call it dumbness, I would ask you keep your opinions to yourself of PM me. I'm not new to this and I'm not trying to gouge anyone, so what's your problem with me Garrell? And it's not over double price, it's less than that because I stated I would cover the shipping costs, which for a book can reach close to $100 depending on the service and location.

[Sam]

Thanks for the support Brice. If you're interested in it, let me know. You know we can work out something.

Dear Garrell, have no worries. I will not be PMing you for any reason.

[Randall Flagg]

Was that a BIN price? I wonder how long the auction was up for.
Edit; I see it was in fact a BIN.

[Sam]

Thanks guys.

[Rahfa]

$550 at an auction....and $699 for a BIN (but it's hard to gauge if that's "real" value or not). Not as high as I expected...

Sam - I didn't think $1K was that shocking or anything. But...it's all in presentation, when you say you prefer "a cashiers check so I can save on Paypal fees," it seems a little off-putting...so maybe that's part of the 'controversey.' Who knows....it registered with me, though, in a bit of a negative way.

But, I have no problem with the price, or asking it...I'm very surprised those two other auctions went as cheap as they did (although the BIN doesn't prove much).

EDIT: Duh - the $550 auction is still ongoing, so I'm sure it will go for much more. I think that $750-$900 is a legit range....and $1K, while high, is not an outlying price.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Agree, I don't think Sams price is completely outrageous. This book has an incredible following. With that said:

Will IT reach The Stand S/L stardom? Remains to be seen but the circles I'm a part of that didn't get one, and now want one.....well, we all could be surprised.

Number 250 rolled in the door last night and is all nestled safely in room 217. Matching numbered portfolio to follow.

Mulleins

[Sam]

Rahfa,

Yeah, I can see where that can feel negative. I'm not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, and most of the older members know I've always been straight about my deals, even those that fell through. I also know some are leary when a seller asks for a cashier's check, so I said exactly why I preferred that method. Either way, I am perfectly fine to accept Paypal too.

Sam - I didn't think $1K was that shocking or anything. But...it's all in presentation, when you say you prefer "a cashiers check so I can save on Paypal fees," it seems a little off-putting...so maybe that's part of the 'controversey.' Who knows....it registered with me, though, in a bit of a negative way.

But, I have no problem with the price, or asking it...I'm very surprised those two other auctions went as cheap as they did (although the BIN doesn't prove much).

EDIT: Duh - the $550 auction is still ongoing, so I'm sure it will go for much more. I think that $750-$900 is a legit range....and $1K, while high, is not an outlying price.

I had one on ebay about two weeks ago, and it went unsold with an opening bid of $750. After the auction ended, I sold it privately for $715 cash shipped (no ebay or Paypal fees).

Now that books are actually in people's hands, prices may go a bit higher.

One on ebay now with a $749 BIN or Best Offer

S/L IT (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King-25th-Anniversary-Signed-Limited-Cemetery-Dance-/330661987606?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item4cfcfd8516#ht_500wt_1144)

I really don't see this one going much higher than this. A print run of 750 means all of the hardcore collectors got one. And a price of $750 is going to keep most of the mid-range and newbie collectors away.

There is one on "open auction" now...current price $635 with one day to go.

[Jimimck]

Merry Christmas ladies and gents.

Book below is still up for grabs. Will consider reasonable offers or trades.



Just to confirm, the UK 1st/1st 'Salem's Lot is offically available for purchase.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f257/jimimck/Stephen%20King%20Books/SLFront.jpg

**DISCLAIMER** I'm no expert in grading books (in fact haven't done it before) and as such the following is my opinion of the books condition. I can send what ever photos you want to check it out....

Book is in good condition. No spine lean, no pen marks/owners names etc. Jacket has one small tear on front cover, and minor rubbing at top corners.
Price is NOT clipped.

PM me with any queries, request for photos/info etc. I have posted a few pics upthread and have heaps more to send through.
From past experiance, shipping from New Zealand is about $30ish (USD) but happy to get quotes before posting.

Cheers


**EDIT** Oh I should mention I'd be open to trading this in on something of equal or lesser value (with cash to make up the differece). I have a few King items on my want list and so let me know if you may have something of interest ;-)

I really don't see this one going much higher than this. A print run of 750 means all of the hardcore collectors got one. And a price of $750 is going to keep most of the mid-range and newbie collectors away.

The seller lowered his BIN price to $675, and it sold.

There is one on "open auction" out there still....current bid price $635 with 26 hours to go.

TWO UNVEILING ANNOUNCEMENTS

1) Sunday. January 15th, 2012. That is when we will begin.

2) I will be allowing payments. Up to four months, evenly spread out. You can reserve the item you want, and pay 25% of the total worth each month over four months. Once you are done paying, you will get your item. Once you start payments though, if you change your mind, you will not be getting your money back. So, be sure you want me to take an item off the shelf before you tell me so.

[Cook]

You already know what I want, you got it... I want it.

I plan on letting everyone know well in advance the exact time the Unveiling will begin. Each item will have an item number (Item 1 will be 001, item 2 will be 002, etc). After the item is "unveiled" (this thing is going to take multiple posts), whoever emails me first with their want list (including the correct item number) gets dibs. That way, any hints or reveals given so far won't give anyone a head start.

[Jimimck]

Shannon, do you know what time you plan to post? Like to know if I'm going to be up and online....

Quick note:

No 'Salem's Lot or The Stand Signed Limited Editions, sorry. Also, no The Plants, Cujo Guitars, or The New Lieutenant's Rap.

Sorry to disappoint anyone holding out for those, but those are not in this collection.

Also, this is not a Supercollection, but a lifetime collection of an above-average collector.

[biomieg]

I may have missed it (or you may not want to post this kind of information) but: what type of items will be for sale (e.g., trades, S/Ls, magazines, proofs, ...)? Just so I will know whether or not I'l need to watch this thread...

*edit: okay, missed your post Shannon - still interested to see if there will be magazines and proofs.

Just kidding. You're still my pal. Good luck with sale.

Since there is so much interest in an already-revealed item, I might as well show off the full monty:

Bio: Tons of magazines. Today is my "magazine" day, actually. My living room floor looks like a magazine minefield. It's going to take quite a few hours to go through each one, catalog it, list the condition, take pictures. Proofs/ARCs, there might or might not be a handful or two. :)

You forgot the TAK TAK at the bottom!

[Shannon]

Yep, I opened it. I would hate to have not opened it, sold it, and then if and when someone opens it, something is damaged. Then I am stuck with either a) being a dick and not giving a refund or b) giving a refund and being stuck with a damaged item.

I will attempt to price everything at current market value. Some of the items for sale I haven't seen too often (if ever) in the year I have been collecting, so those will be a little harder to figure out. But no worries, everything will have a price come U-Day!

[Shannon]

Isn't the TAK TAK the account number that Bodhi was talking about?

[Dolso]

I'm helping my brother sell his S/L "IT". Proceeds will go to his charity Phoenix-fund which benefits survivors of Brain injuries. (http://www.phoenix-fund.org.

He has number 644/750. I thought I'd give everyone here a chance first....if there are no takers by tomorrow afternoon (Friday), it will be listed on eBay. It will ship from Denver within just a couple days in the original box, original packing material, etc. It was opened once to ensure the sig & get the limitation number. I'd like to get him $725 for the book .. I haven't kept up to date on sales but from a quick look-see, I think that is a fair price (both to you & to him).

PM me if you're interested. He will take PayPal, money order, probably a check (if you are willing to wait till it clears)

Nah, not spilling. I wanna tease some more ... What can I tease ... Hmmm ... Two more pics then I'm done for the day with Unveiling stuff. Two different items:

Think there is no problem to identify this book:rolleyes2:

[Shannon]

It's very odd, as I go through this collection, I'll find a book or item that is in mint condition. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Then I'll keep going and find a book that has all its dustjacket edges bumped and worn/torn, rubbing to the cover, etc. It's pretty much hit or miss.

Like, I have a mint SIGNED AND INSCRIBED, FIRST EDITION ______, but on the other hand I have a heavily damaged UK FIRST EDITION ______. I have a still (or, it was) in the plastic SIGNED LIMITED ______________, but I have a US FIRST EDITION ___________ with tears to all six dust jacket corners and a small sticker on the inside rear cover.

Ugh! But no worries, every litte teeny tiny thing I see wrong with the items, I am taking a picture of it. And come U-Day I will show it all off as if I requested the pictures myself.

[divemaster]

No 'Salem's Lot or The Stand Signed Limited Editions, sorry.

[Randall Flagg]

What was I doing wrong or not doing right? Ta in advance.
First off you gave the URL's for the thumbnails listed-so even if they showed it would be a small picture.
The forum uses BB code so one way to insert an image in a post is to manually enter the code before and after the URL. Simply put before each URL and after-no spaces.
The other way you could have done it was to right click on the image, choose "copy image location", then go to your post and use the "insert image" icon and paste the URL in the pop-up box.

[Greg]

Thanks for the info. RF, I'll see if I can absorb all the tech speak and get it right next time.

2) I will be allowing payments. Up to four months, evenly spread out. You can reserve the item you want, and pay 25% of the total worth each month over four months. Once you are done paying, you will get your item. Once you start payments though, if you change your mind, you will not be getting your money back. So, be sure you want me to take an item off the shelf before you tell me so.

Oops, didn't really think about the football watchers. I would like to be as accomodating as possible. It will still have to be on Sunday, but can anyone suggest/agree upon a better time?

We also used to have "church night" back in Arizona many years ago .... it was every Wednesday after work, we'd all meet up at the NCO Club and make merry. Now that's quality church time!

Tippy = Stephen King?

There's no other explanation as to why you would have all this great stuff all the time! You need a bookstore. Tippy's Books. :)

[tippy4]

You got me Shannon.

It's me...Steve King.

In addition to writing two to three books per year, and contributing articles to EW, I like to moonlight as a book seller...it keeps me busy.

:P

There was a scandal back in the TDT.net days with a 'poseur' claiming to be Stephen King....quite the brou-ha-ha...

Sharon Milligan's Unveiling
Sunday. January 15th, 2012. 12:00pm (noon) Pacific Standard Time
Collectible Classifeds Forum

The Rules and Sharon Milligan Biography to be posted an hour or so prior to the Unveiling, as not to interfere with the start time.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE RULES. Thank you.

[carlosdetweiller]

I just now recognized the name Sharon Milligan and realized who she is. I've been buying stuff from her daughter Cheryl for a few years. I've gotten some really great stuff but have always wondered what they have been holding back.

Haha....for you? $274!

As for this Milligan collection, for Bob to say he wonders what they "held back," makes it clear that it should be very interesting indeed!

Cheryl was the one who sold me Sharon's Skeleton Crew Treasure Chest and started me on my journey to King Collecting. :) After a while I stopped dealing with Cheryl and started talking directly to Sharon, who I became friends with. She's a complete-ist, like me. :) I would buy her entire collection if I could. But I can't. So I figured, I would offer it to my friends here and see what happens. But, with the exception of a Carrie ARC (which seems to have been lost somewhere, lol), The Unveiling will be her entire collection.

EDIT: I must stress again, this is not a Supercollection, but the lifetime collection of an above-average collector.

[Merlin1958]

I'm very intrigued and conflicted, The Giant's are the early game I believe!!! Arrrggghhhh!!! Although, that may be roughly "Half-Time!! LOL

I am also slightly confused Shannon. You're post says the unveiling will be in this forum, but your link takes me to your collection thread. Is this just a temporary "marker" type thing, will the unveiling be in two threads or, just here. Sorry if I am being obtuse.

[Shannon]

The Unveiling will start in the Collectible Classifieds thread. There will be links on the items to check out the pictures and such.

I have a link to my Collection Thread in my signature because I got some cool new stuff I wanted to show off! :)

There may or may not be two teases in my Collection Thread's latest post for the Unveiling, though.

[Merlin1958]

OK Gotcha!!

Shannon, what's a Skeleton Crew Treasure Chest?

Don't worry, Bill. The Packers should have enough of a lead by that point, that you'll probably be turning off the game anyway :lol: (Yes, I am a Packers fan!!)

I do enjoy watching the Giants lose

I have bought a couple items in the past from Cheryl (from her mom's collection).

Hello, I have decided to put up for sale my sub #500 part collection of The Dark Tower, comprising of DT IV - VII + LSOE #281 and LSOE AE #281. After seeking advice regarding price ( thanks Wiz ) I am asking $3400. The books are in mint condition, only opened to provide numbers for Grant and to check for remarques ( unfortunately no remarques ), volumes V and VI are still shrinkwrapped. If any further pics or info is required please get in touch, cheers.

That would be a great way for someone interested in starting down the road toward a matching number set. Good luck.

After some interest shown, the necessary evil of shipping has reared it's head. Cost for shipping from England to the US via Royal Mail varies between approx £110/$170 with £100 insurance, tracked to £215/$330 with £2500 insurance, tracked. This is expensive I know but the books weigh in at 12kg plus. I am prepared to split shipping costs.
Cheers.

Alan, here is my Skeleton Crew Treasure Chest: LINK (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?12451-Book-Collection-Shannon&p=611716&viewfull=1#post611716)

That is very, very cool Shannon. Never saw those before. Thanks!

[Patrick]

Same response as Alan!

[Shannon]

lol, I would be a little sad that I've been here for about a year and you guys haven't checked out my collection thread, but ... there are so many collections that I haven't checked out yet either, so I can't complain. :)

I am taking offers for my DOLSO Night Shift case Letter 'G' via PM. I don't have a decent camera to take pics of it but I have a couple of lo-rez shots from my laptop camera. It's still in the packaging it came in. I only took it out to examine it and photograph it. Here's what the 'G' pic looks like:

I believe that is one of "The Mangler' pieces.

Yes, thank you, it is one of 'The Mangler' pieces. :biggrin:
