King Books/Items Wanted

[at_one]

Eric, thanks for the heads-up on that ebay listing...not sure how I missed that one. Ended up getting it for $1 shipping...pretty cool ebay seller! :thumbsup:

[Ari_Racing]

Can anyone post a picture of the cover of Misery (the edition that has King as a character of Misery's return).

Thanks!

[Bev Vincent]

It has the standard ax-shadow front cover. It's a false inner cover that has the parody:

[Ari_Racing]

Alright. :) And how is the regular cover then :)

Thanks Bev for posting it!

[nt07077]

This is a bit of a strech but if anyone is willing to give copies of the 5 articles written by King that appeared in "The Register" back in 1988 then it would be greatly appreciated.

One to go:

Looking for S/L The Dark Tower, The Gunslinger, #424.

Any help locating it would be much appreciated...

Hi There,

Just got to say I've really enjoyed reading all the different threads on this site over the last month or two.
I would love to find a copy of the numbered signed Heart Shaped Box US Arc. I think they were only numbered to a hundred. And if anyone would know where or have heard of anyone with one it would be you guys.
Thanks in advance for any help.

[Randall Flagg]

Welcome Roomtemp, if anyone can help it will be here.
I am confused about a "numbered signed ARC" for the US Heart Shaped Box.
Someone here will clarify, and then we'll move these posts to a Joe Hill thread.

RF,

I can help here.

Welcome Roomtemp.

Heart Shaped Box did have a Limited Edition ARC 1 of 100 numbered and signed.

I own #97

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks mulliens, there is almost always a quick answer here.
Now we hope someone can fulfill the request.:thumbsup:

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Roomtemp--I was browsing eBay and there was at least one of these & several S/Ls of HSB a relatively good prices--this was a day of two ago so I don't have the links, but I just searched "Heart Shaped Box" and got over a dozen very good results.

Good luck!

[jhanic]

I checked my collection (I don't have the Joe Hill books on a spreadsheet) and I own both the US and UK ARCs. Neither, however, is numbered. Are there two different versions, one numbered and the other not? Or did I just miss the number? I also have the s/n edition (but it's not an ARC). I think it's from the UK.

John

[wizardsrainbow]

Yes, I too would like some clarity on this issue of numbered ARCs.

[Cutter]

William Morrow (US proof) did a Limited of 100 numbered/signed copies of the proof for Heart Shaped Box (I have #10). Also, of note these were released very early as I got this somewhere like 5 months before release (not sure?). This would be a guess, but I think these went out before the regular proofs did.

sorry for the dark picture

http://www.gusfromcbus.com/authorpages/joehill/images/heartshapedboxare_lim.gif

[jhanic]

Mine doesn't have that. I guess there were also a number of unnumbered/unsigned ARCs issued. Interesting.

John

[Roomtemp]

Hey everybody,

Thanks for the welcomes.

I'm drooling looking at those books. If you guys ever sell ... Well let me join the line.
I have the standard US and UK arc of HSB. Plus the Standard S/L from Sub Press and signed US and UK firsts . So want to finish of that little subsection before I go after the real expensive chapbooks that I dont have.

Thanks again for the help....and if anyone wants to sell a copy. Let me know.

Also...Sorry if this was in the wrong thread...

Cheers,

Sean

[Matt]

And don't worry about where you post, we have staff to handle that. :thumbsup:

Seriously, I don't think I want to get started on another author, even Joe Hill. I just can't afford it. It IS tempting, though. I have another of Hill's proofs, the US 20th Century Ghosts.

No problem Mullens, yea I knew I had a picture handy that would help so I jumped in. :)

And yes John there was a regular proof, as well as the signed/numbered edition.

[at_one]

This is probably a total shot in the dark, but does anyone know where I can find one of the 200 limited Salem's Lot tray cases that Thomas at skcollector.com was selling?

[gsvec]

If Tomas doesn't have any more, I have one with some damage to it. :( Still completely intact with no corner dings and beautiful on the inside. The problem is that there was something stored on top of it that caused some shiny discoloration to the face. If you're interested, PM me and I'll get you some pics.

[Randall Flagg]

I have a "spare". Still in shipping box. (Box opened, but traycase never used.)

[Randall Flagg]

What would be market price right now?

[e_taylor]

What would be market price right now?

I don't think theres a specific market price per se, but I think it usually adds $50-$75 to the selling price of the book itself.

[Randall Flagg]

I think initial asking price was more than $50 + shipping.

[e_taylor]

I think initial asking price was more than $50 + shipping.

Given the price of the recent Stand tray case, and the larger size and nicer materials of the 'Salem's Lot tray case, I'd say you are right. :thumbsup:

But I don't know if a tray case on its own really holds/increases in value like books do.

[at_one]

Gretchen and Jerome- PM's sent...

[Randall Flagg]

I have the original traycase (still in plastic wrap with the stephenkincollector.com sticker sealing the wrap), as well as the 'Salem's Lot,- never opened! from Centipede. I know the market is soft, but I would not sell for less than issue price. Heck, I'd give it away before that.

[at_one]

What was the original issue price for both the book and traycase?

[e_taylor]

What was the original issue price for both the book and traycase?

The issue price on 'Salem's Lot was $75, and the tray case would have been $50-$65.

Together, I've seen them sell for as much as $250, although not that often.

[at_one]

I'm just looking for the traycase, I just picked up a sealed copy of the book for $100, so I guess I got a fair price on that....

Issue price on Centipede unsigned cloth version of 'Salem's Lot was $125.

[jhanic]

I have the price of the unsigned edition, including shipping, as $159.95.

John

[e_taylor]

I grabbed my number from the Collectibles Catalouge. Perhaps it should be updated then?

[Randall Flagg]

Not sure what was charged for shipping, but my box indicates $11.45-media mail! The book and packaging are heavy.

Well we certainly need a clarification on issue price (not counting shipping).

[Bev Vincent]

The unsigned edition was $95 + $15 shipping (+ 3.99 sales tax for Colorado residents). See this thread on my message board (http://www.bevvincent.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1089293138/4#4) for supporting documentation.

[jhanic]

As usual, Bev's right. I looked closer and I paid a total of $110 (shipped) plus $49.95 for the traycase from The Collector.

John

Thanks Bev

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks for the clarification. I updated the Catalog to reflect the $95 issue price, as well as the $49.95 for the traycase. I guess the only price missing is for the artist photos that were sold separately.

[lophophoras]

Guys, do you know what year Centipede published it? I need to update my spreadsheet. Thanks!

Hello!

Sorry I post this here but I was going to buy this t shirt and I saw that it's only being sold in the UK.

http://shop.rednoseday.com/Category.aspx?CategoryId=68#

I wonder if anyone in the UK could purchase it for me and send it to Argentina. I can pay everything via paypal. Please PM me.
(men's t shirt)

I'm sorry I'm bothering with this.

Thanks in advance!! :)

Ari

[Chooch]

LMAO when I looked at that Ari :lol:

[Brice]

Wow! Now I want one too.

[herbertwest]

I guess I could do it as I am going to the UK at the end of next week...
i am quite tight on cash just now, but if noone else can help you... and if you're paying everything... ^^

[Ari_Racing]

I'd appreciate that a lot! I'm sending you an email!

[Randall Flagg]

Ari, good luck. Wish I could help.
After a week or so this will be merged.
Again, best of luck, and I hope one of our members comes through for you.

[herbertwest]

the tshirts are sold out, except for the XS, XL & XXL sizes...

[Patrick]

Thanks for the clarification. I updated the Catalog to reflect the $95 issue price, as well as the $49.95 for the traycase.

If no one answers this question over the weekend, I've most likely got the answer on my computer at work. I can check on Monday.

[Chooch]

Does anyone know where I can get one of the artist photo's ? That would look so sweet in the traycase :P

That could be a tough one Chooch. If I remember correctly only 25-35 of those artist picture sets became available.

You are right though, it does look good having the pictures

Hey all,

I'm looking for a S/L Dark Tower IV and a S/L Dark Tower II. If anyone happens to have an extra of either, please send me a PM. I can do cash, trade, or cash + trade and have several books I could try to work into a trade, including a S/L Firestarter.

thanks.

I am really hoping to finish putting together a set of 1st Ed DT books signed by the artists. I love all the artwork in the series. I need a DT3 signed by Dameron and a DT4 signed by McKean. I have a Second printing of Gunslinger signed by Whelan, but would like to get a first. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has one, or knows how I can get one signed (i.e. an appearance or other signing), please let me know.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm sure if you can contact Whelan and Dameron they'd be more than willing to sign a copy for you. McKean on the other hand..... thats a tough one! I've never seen a signed trade edition... I tried contactig him once and only got hold of his agent who said there was no way he could sign a book for me. Good luck!

[Matt]

He's on my "holy grail" list of sigs I want for fundraiser items too. :lol:

Maybe next year.

patrick, did you ever find out the price of the salems lot artist photos?
I finally found it. Here is the three-year-old email from our fellow member and friend, Tomas, that tipped me off. I bolded the relevant sentence.

Subject: A handful of 'Salem's Lot photos available

Betts books has 7 copies of the unbound Jerry Ulesmann photos available for $50 each. I know many of you have expressed interest in picking up a set of the unbound photos to complete your unsigned edtion & traycase. These will go exremely quickly. If you wind up reading this after today I'm sure they'll be gone.
I can't control anyone's purchasing decisions but I would ask that if you found out about the photos from me you'd limit yourself to 1 set, so as many people can get copies as possible.
Thanks much,

At the time I called Betts and placed my order by phone, so no record other that I paid the $50 mentioned here.

[Ari_Racing]

Well...I talked with McKean as well last year (he was the main guest of a comic con here and he cancelled a week before the con started) and I asked him if I could send him the book to sign. He said "Of course, but I don't want the books to be damaged, so better wait until I visit Argentina"....

Well...sometimes it's best not to say anything...:arg:

I have an extra of both the 'Salem's Lot case, and The Stand case. Both in original wrap, with sticker in place.
Too bad your trip doesn't bring you to Northern California.:P

If you send on email to Tomas, he might have some extra Salem's Lot traycases. I bought one from him about 3 or 4 months ago and he said he had a few left.

I've been debating expanding my collection to include ARCs for some time. Due to the fact that a certain member here(who shall remain nameless) rocks the f***kin house (cough*Wiz*cough), I know own one, and it's getting lonely standing there naked on my shelf next to the bound and covered books. My problem is I'm not sure about valuations, as I haven't really paid any attention to them prior to now. Any help from the more knowledgeable members out there? I'm looking for DT ones, of course, but I'm also curious about a few other non-DT ones that are my particular favorites. Which books have ARCs? Most? All? Are there any that are particularly rare? I lay myself at the feet of the masters. Any instruction you can give would be appreciated.

Dear people, I've been hunting Insomnia with cats and dogs (I think this is a Finnish saying), but it simply cannot be found here. Checked out Amazon, but ack, what an awful cover! (that one with a man's head covered with.. something.)

Is there even other covers for Insomnia? Anyway, if someone has a paperback reading copy, I'd be really overjoyed. PM me with price etc :)

I don't have one but there is one for sale on ABE. I suspect you have already seen it. It seems priced pretty high though. Are you looking to buy one?

[e_taylor]

Bob -

I am looking to find one. I recall about six months ago seeing one from England sell for $150 on eBay. Granted thats eBay and all... but it still tells me that the market value wouldn't be much more than $250-$300. The one on ABE I asked for his best price and it was $500 shipped - still to rich for my blood.

I'm trying to sell a few things right now, if I'm successful I might go in at $400 - still over market value in my opinion, but not so much that I'd loose sleep over it.

2nd Edition Drawing of the Three signed by Phil Hale. (Or I guess contact info to see if I can get my own copy signed by Phil - if anyone has it)
Artist Edition of DTVII signed by Stephen King.

[jhanic]

Eric, Grant still has copies of DT II signed by Hale:

Thanks John. Those are 1st edition copies though aren't they?

I'm looking for a 2nd edition copy. They seem very scarce.

[jhanic]

Oops, you're right. My mistake.

[Ricky]

Desperately looking for fine first edition books. Received some yesterday that were listed as fine with no defects, and got the exact opposite. One of them was a darn BCE! Honestly the nerve of some people makes me want to vomit.

So, if anyone is out there (echo, echo) and has first edition books to sell, I'm more than willing to buy!

[Gris]

which specifically are you looking for?

[biomieg]

I'm also looking for some 1st/1sts (they don't have to be in 'fine' or better condition, as long as they're not falling apart ;)):

US: Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, Night Shift, Bachman Books, Cycle of the Werewolf (HC)
UK: Carrie, Night Shift, The Stand

So if any of you guys feels like parting with some of the 'lesser' specimens in your collections, please let me know ;)

[Ricky]

which specifically are you looking for?

The ones that I need are:

Carrie
Salems’ Lot
Rage
The Shining
Night Shift
The Long Walk
Roadwork
Danse Macabre
The Running Man
Different Seasons
Cycle of the Werewolf
The Talisman
Thinner
Skeleton Crew
The Bachman Books
Eyes of the Dragon
The Dark Tower I
The Dark Tower II
The Dark Tower IV
It
The Stand (Uncut edition)
Four Past Midnight

One's I have but need in better condition:

Needful Things
Everything's Eventual
Black House
Misery
The Dark Half

Currently, I'm trying to fill in the ones that I have that are not in perfect condition, as well as the ones from the 90s(ish). i.e. Four Past Midnight.

[Randall Flagg]

That's quite a list. It might help if you posted what you were willing to pay, so as to save time PM'ing back and forth.

[Ricky]

I agree, it's quite a list. I do have many firsts, but of course, SK has written quite a bit!

As for prices, assuming all are fine/fine condition, the later ones (1990ish) I'm generally paying about $15.00 for each that I've gotten in fine condition, so I'm trying to stay in that area. If it's a bit more, so be it if it's in good condition.

As for the hard-to-find-in-good-condition ones like It, Thinner, DT books, it could range from $50-$100+ depending on which one I'm currently trying to find.

The early Doubleday books, I'm not even going to bother with. Once I find a sack of money lying in the gutter, that's when I'll track those down. :)

[Ricky]

STILL looking for alot of the more common, less pricey first editions, however those wonderful folks over at ABE are completely and totally clueless about the definition of "fine".

Currently looking for:

Four Past Midnight
Needful Things
Everything's Eventual
Black House
Misery
The Dark Half
The Tommyknockers

If there is anyone selling, either post here or PM me as I'm interested x34.

[Brice]

Look in the Collectible Classifieds. I think Darkmaniscoming posted a bunch of King books he's selling. Maybe you'll find what you're looking for there. I'm not sure.

[Ricky]

Thanks Brice, I've been sending him some PMs about them and there were some that I was interested in.

I'd much rather buy from someone on the site rather than someone on a site like ABE, Alibris, etc., whom I have no connection with whatsoever.

[Johnny007]

Hi all -- this is my first post here....so i guess i am one, after all!!! I was just wondering if anyone had a lettered copy (red or black) in fine condition of The Eyes of the Dragon. Please let me know because I'd be willing to purchase either or both. Thanks,

[Gris]

I have a copy (not a spare, sorry) of just The Stand, but I've never seen a Red Leather of the complete and uncut.

[e_taylor]

They definitely exist. I used to have one. I believe I sold it to Emmanuel at Very Fine Books.

[Brice]

And there is one on ABE now as part of a complete(?) set.

[agrabin]

I need a signed SK bookplate...yes I know, please don't hold it against me...it's not something I would normally do but there is a good reason for me wanting one.
It can't be specific to any particular title and obviously shouldn't be too expensive. Does anybody have one they don't need or can someone point me in the right direction? Please email or message me through the forum if you can help.
Any other advice would of course also be very much appreciated.

[Gris]

Anyone have a copy of Insomnia with the white background and red lettering on the front cover?

I really only need/want a dust jacket, so if you have just that, or a good jacket on a crappy book, let me know. I've had one for a while, but it's clipped, so trying to find a NF+ jacket for it.

[Ricky]

Okay, there has GOT to be a couple people here that are selling fine first editions.

Looking for (with no luck):

Danse Macabre
Different Seasons
The Talisman
Thinner
Skeleton Crew
Eyes of the Dragon
The Dark Tower II
It
The Stand (Uncut edition)
Four Past Midnight
Needful Things
Everything's Eventual
Black House
The Tommyknockers

[Darkmaniscoming]

ricky you are looking to pay $15 for impossible titles in perfect fine.
Was there a problem with the books i had offered ~ I don't think I understand??? I'm pretty sure these are as good as they get especially for $15...I'm not sure what you are expecting?

Hey all,

I'm new to King collecting, but after a few weeks of research, I'm ready to get started. Currently my most collectable King book is the thrashed paperback copy of Duma Key I'm still reading (I'm a frequent patron of the library), so please help me get something respectable without having to deal with ebay shenanigans.

The book I'm really after is a s/l copy of Salem's Lot (Centipede edition of 300). It's always been my favorite King story and it looks like a lovely edition. I'd also be interested in a Stand s/l coffin.

Otherwise, I'm looking for old first editions as close to fine as possible:
-The Shining
-Salem's Lot
-The Stand
-Gunslinger
-etc (i.e. all the stuff everyone else is looking for)

PM me if you think we can work out a deal!

[Rusher]

Hi Solar and welcome !!! You came to the best place for information on starting a Stephen King collection. You have to have a few more posts

to send me an email, I can send you some photos and we can haggle if
you would like. My email is slminct@hotmail.com

No, not $15 for all of the ones on my list. I'm talking about the easier to find ones like Black House, Everything's Eventual, etc. Not ones like DTII and all that good stuff. :wtf:

I wouldn't worry too much about ebay - at least once you've done research and know your budget, etc. Most every collector here bought and continues to buy books that way. You can always ask advice about a seller, or if a condition merits a price, etc.

But I sell all my books, and I'm certainly not conducting any shenanigans...haha...

Anyone know what the UK paperback is worth?, I have that one in top shape. I'm really looking for hardbacks of the Dark Tower books (primarily 1-4+revised Gunslinger), no super-expensive 1st's, just nice condition books I can read without paying hundreds. All I seem to find here in the UK are those annoying little shrunken BCA editions. :doh:

I'm cautiously putting out my antennae for the following books:

UK 1st/1st Carrie and Night Shift
US 1st/1st 'Salem's Lot (whichever DJ state)

Wow, I knew the market had dropped in general, but I didn't realize this book was now selling for under a grand. Having bought when the market was high, this bums me out. Regardless, good luck to you!

Yeah, it's a tough book to buy right now. The few people selling at the moment seem to have all bought high and of course don't want to sell for a loss. I really want a copy, but can't bring myself to pay $700-$1200 more than the most recent auction copies went for.

I JUST missed one on the horror mall that went without bids at a grand. Wish I could contact that guy to make him an offer, but it doesn't seem like you can contact sellers on that site. :panic:

If anyone wants to track down a paperback copy of the book and send it to me, and pay for me to ship the hardcover copy to you, then I'll trade them straight up!

Anyone interested?

As far he says he will never own a first edition Gunslinger......so i thought maybe if i could pick one up cheap enough, throw my old jacket on it I could give him a surprise Christmas gift
I will consider anything, i am sure some of you avid collectors have a ratty copy or 2 laying around !!

Sounds like your friend could be like me. A long time ago I decided the DT S/Ls were out of reach and that I'd be happy to have a complete Stephen King library of First Editions. I always said I'd have trouble getting The Gunslinger, Carrie, Salem's Lot, and Night Shift First Editions. But perseverance has paid off and I have Carrie (actually got it signed at the Three Kings) and Night Shift. Now I need the Gunslinger and Salems Lot! One can only hope!

Or in some cases have a teriffic friend! Your firend will be amazed if you pull this off! Probably flabbergasted!

I would certainly never have owned one if it wasn't for the kindness of dear friends.

I paid about $175 for a mint Gunslinger 2nd but I have no idea if this is cheap, expensive, or average.

I think I paid $255 for a mint copy in a slipcase back in 2004/05.

While those little smiley guys are cool I mean like on some boards (sk.com for example) you click a button to thank someone. Then it leaves a message under that post....thanked by cloysterpete. Don't know if it's possible with this forum software though?!?. Not my area of expertise lol.

[Bev Vincent]

Jordan added it as a feature to the skmb, which runs the same program, I believe.

Jordan added it as a feature to the skmb, which runs the same program, I believe.

Judging by the numbers the sk.com board is a newer bit of software, vbulletin 3.8.4 compared to 3.7.2 here. Hopefully the feature is possible on version 3.7.2.

Do I sound like I know what i'm talking about lol

Anyone have a fine condition trade edition white lettered dustjacket they want to sell or trade me for one of my slightly messed up ones, maybe off of a reading copy? I will even pay you a reasonable sum for it along with the trade. I have 2 copies, one came from amazon and the book and jacket suffered a good hard corner smash (going to be a reading copy) the other is a signed copy i picked up (got it for $109 shipped) but it just arrived packed very poorly, loose in a box with some newspaper stuffed around it, the book survived intact but the jacket edges are all rolled over and it is torn where it wraps into the book.

So would like a nice one for my signed copy !!
please help !!
Thanks

Wouldn't it be almost easier to walk into a local retailer and buy the book?
I've seen nice copies-all discounted 20%-40% off retail at B&N, Costco, Walmart, Target etc.
Walk in, hand over ~$20. Done. No shipping, no surprises, no hassle.

I am looking for a decent condition Grant 1st of The Waste Lands and also looking for the ARC/prooof of the same. Please PM me if you have one and how much you are looking to get for it.

I'm looking for a Pet Semetary edition of Earl the Flat Cat if anyone has one/spots on online...I'd like to put it in the baby's room :D

I saw one awhile back and made the mistake of not bidding on it...now I can't seem to find them (plenty of regular everyday Flat Cats...just not the Pet Semetery ones) and I'd like to get my little one started on the right track early :fairy:\



Edit: anyone have an idea of what a fair price for this item might be? I admit I have no idea, and since I can't comapre list prices, I'm a little lost.

Really I think the best thing is to just to decide roughly what you're willing to spend. I haven't seen any up for auction. Honestly I've been wanting one for awhile myself. As for worth though...??? It's kinda' hard to say since they don't show up anywhere much, so my opinion is whatever amount you can be happy with putting towards it is it's precise worth. I know you were probably wanting something more specific, but I wouldn't have an idea even of what others would be willing to pay for one.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Yeah, I'll have to think on it...I'm not sure how much it's worth to me, to be honest.

[Lowmen45]

Hi, I need a hardcover of the Gunslinger, and of the Wastelands. I owne all the audio formats, and all the rest in Hardcover, but am missing these two. Anyone got any Idea on a place besides amazon I could find an older edidtion of these two, for less than a million dollars a book *sarcasm*. The reason I ask is because I see people raping others for these books on ebay. I got a copy of the reprint *Drawing of the three* the second print of the first edition, with same cover as first, for 25$. I later went to ebay and saw it for over 300$. I just want a reasonable deal, and dont want to be taken advantage of. I love the Grant ed. of the Wasteland, with the plaster man on the cover.

[Sam]

I would say check into a third edition if you want to go the cheapest route for The Gunslinger. That should go about $90+. A second edition will be somewhat expensive at $200+ and a first edition will run you $500+ I would think.

If you want a copy of Drawing of the Three first edition signed by the artist, Donald M. Grant Publishing has them for $75.

As always, check sources like ABEbooks.com and ebay before you buy as you can sometimes find bargains. Beware of something that looks like a real steal. It often is a steal, but it's the seller doing the stealing.

Definitly a good deal.

Another source for the 1st ed. Waste Lands is Uncle Hugo's. I got mine from them off AbeBooks earlier this year for $46 shipped. Still in the shrinkwrap. They used to have one up on AbeBooks in pretty constant rotation, but I don't see any right now. So they are either sold out, or it's just not posted.

http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/

As for the Gunslinger, unless you can afford a 1st edition, you can find the 2nd at decent prices now and then. I got my 2nd edition Gunslinger off ebay over Thanksgiving last year for 125. Seems like folks were distracted by the holidays, I was suprised there weren't more bids.

[tippy4]

Just checked with Uncle Hugo, and they are sold out.

[bast_imret]

Dang, that's too bad. It was a great deal, he was just selling off excess stock for cover price.

[Gris]

Sorry I can't help you out with missing ones, the extras I have you don't need. Good luck with your search.

Hi All.... I just picked up a S/L Wizard and Glass for a super rediculous low price but it does not have the original slipcase ( I don't think ) Is there anywhere that I can buy just that slipcase for the S/L ? Thanks so much !!!

[Sam]

Try contacting Donald M. Grant publishing since they are the original publisher. Otherwise, keep your eyes peeled. Also, what do you mean by you don't think it's the original?

[Rusher]

I just meant that there was no slipcase in the photos and no mention of one, so I don't think its included in the auction. I checked the DMG website but didn't see any slipcases for the S/L

UNLESS what you are paying for and what you receive are two different things. Examples would be buying what is listed as a Signed Limited Edition and getting a trade edition with a (poorly) forged signature, buying what you are told is a First Edition only to learn several years later that you paid $100 for a Book Club Edition (happened to me and was a valuable lesson in my book collecting life), or buying an original manuscript only to receive a poorly xeroxed copy of said original manuscript (happened to someone else I know, only it was a rare video and they received a bad pirate copy).

Contact Grant. I know they don't have it listed, but you never know what they may have in storage in the back room.

[at_one]

$150 for a S/L WnG!?!? I hate when I miss those ebay deals......Shannon- good luck on finding the slipcase if it is indeed not included!

[Rusher]

Thanks !! Yes, even with the small flaw spot on the bottom of the second book, I'll take it at that price. Im a small dollar collector and for me to get that book for that price, Im very excited.

[Sam]

You got a great find. You might want to contact Tomas from http://www.stephenkingcollector.com and see if his slipcases would fit the S/L. I seriously doubt it, but you never know until you ask.

[Patrick]

Wow! Congrats, Rusher! Fantastic deal!

I am still looking for The Waste Lands Grant 1st and Grant ARC for a Christmas present to myself....if you have either shoot me a PM and we can work out a price....

I am looking for a first edition of Wizard and Glass. Let me know if you have an additional one for sale.

[biomieg]

Always on the lookout for proofs/ARCs (both US and UK)! I also want to add the DT V and VI artist editions to my collection someday. And last but not least: I still need 1st/1st trades of 'Salem's Lot (US), Bachman Books (US) and Carrie (UK).

That's about it :)

That is something different...it's called THEFT.

As long as buyers recieve what they were told to expect, and educated themselves on the details, then it's the buyer's fault if they didn't ask the right questions....but active lying by the seller is another matter.

It's the buyers responsbility to ask questions, then make an educated bid.

But - yeah, in your cases, you were dealing with someone being dishonest, which is different.

[Sam]

You and I agree with the idea that as long as you and the seller are both happy with the price, then all is good. You and I are basically honest people though. I have known far too many who think differently from us. That's why I posted.

I've been taken before. In 1998, I purchased what I thought was a First Edition, what I was TOLD was a First Edition, from a book dealer who specialized in science fiction. He KNEW the book he was selling wasn't a First Edition and outright lied to me, even pointing out what marked the book as a First Edition. I paid $100 for the book, which was a great price had it been a 1st, but it's actually a BCE. I was very happy with the price I paid. It was only after I really started looking into book collecting that I learned I had been taken. The book was a gift for my wife (my girlfriend at the time) for her birthday. It was one of her favorite stories and I had the author sign and inscribe it for her. It is one of her favorite pieces in her small collection. However,you can imagine my anger when i discovered that the book that I believed was a 1st Edition is actually a BCE. The only comfort I take is knowing that the merchant is now out of business. Either way he sold me a $10 book for $100 and made $90 pure profit off me.

I count it as a lesson learned.

[Rahfa]

Yes - that's scummy, absolutely. Especially if you asked questions that he was deceptive or misleading about.

I guess what I really meant is if somebody lists an authentic first edition (let's say of Firestarter) for $300, and somebody buys it, when it's really worth only $50 - then no one was really taken advantage of...the buyer made a mistake, but that's not the seller's fault.
