I am looking for the aftermarket traycase for the 'SALEM'S LOT gift edition and the Uelsmann photos... anyone wants to part with theirs?

I am looking for the aftermarket traycase for the 'SALEM'S LOT gift edition and the Uelsmann photos... anyone wants to part with theirs?

I think Betts has a book in traycase with prints for sale right now. Maybe you culd work out a deal to trade yor book and some cash for the set he has for sale?
Just a thought

[biomieg]

I may try that... my book is still shrinkwrapped and in as new condition.

[ELazansky]

When I got my copy, I looked everywhere for the traycase with no luck. I had Dolso make me a slipcase, and I'm happy with it. I also had to take the wrap off - have to enjoy my books!

When you get a chance, could you show us the slipcase from Dolso?. I would love to see it.

COOL!!!!!! I have the very first of that case!!! I helped him a little with the design!!!! It's a beautiful case for that oversized edition. If you take some measurements he could probably build in a space to store the Folio pics.

Tip: I put felt feet on my cases from him so as to not scratch the shelves!!!!

[Fsmdr]

Wow!. It looks great!. Is that wood that is stained glossy black?. Thanks for posting the picture.

[Merlin1958]

Wow!. It looks great!. Is that wood that is stained glossy black?. Thanks for posting the picture.

Yes, its made of wood with a black laquer paint. Perfect for that book. It also has a felt lining you can choose the color of. Mine has Red Felt.

[biomieg]

The set at Betts is gone already. Re: the shrinkwrap - I will remove it once I know for sure that I'm not trading the book (I got it last week).

[wizardsrainbow]

Yep it's claimed. Sorry. I thought $300 was a great deal for the book, case and a set of prints

[biomieg]

That's okay! It was a great price. I will just have to keep searching/waiting.

[ELazansky]

I am looking for a UK S/L Wizard & Glass - if anyone has one they would like to sell for a reasonable price, please let me know.

[harrison ryan]

Hello, everyone. I've been browsing these threads for a while tonight. I'm loving it. The members here have some truly daunting collections. As for myself, a lowly bookstore employee, I don't have the capital to fund a taste for signed, limited editions, but I do love the Bachman paperback originals. So I thought I'd sign up and shout a question into the void, and listen for echoes. I know this is probably a fairly run-of-the mill request, but I thought I'd ask about the current supply for the one Bachman I've yet to obtain, the rarest and priciest of the lot--you guessed it: Rage. I'm looking for a US, but Canadians are nice as well. Don't like the cover art on the NEL version, though. Anyone have a copy they're willing to part with? PM me if you do, I'll be busy perusing the many threads and checking out your collections...
Thanks!

UPDATE: Got one! Thanks jhanic and Stockerlone! I think I'm addicted to the forum now.

[Cook]

You should probably try David at Betts.
Hard to get a hold of sometimes... ...he's got a pretty hectic life I'm sure.
Anyway, I'm sure he can help you.

[jhanic]

Welcome, Harrison! One of our German members, Stockerlone, has had a copy of the US Rage on eBay for a while:

http://cgi.ebay.com/RAGE-Richard-Bachman-Stephen-King-US-FIRST-/110663503046?pt=Belletristik&hash=item19c40f0cc6

This is, although a bit pricey, the only one I've seen in a while.

John

[harrison ryan]

Thanks for the replies, guys. Very helpful. We'll see...

[wizardsrainbow]

I am on the lookout myself for Rage + other Bachman titles...harder to find these days

[biomieg]

A member here once posted a picture of his signed copy of THE BREATHING METHOD. I think it was for sale. I would like to get it if the price is right (and if it's still for sale of course) but I can't remember who it was!!

[wizardsrainbow]

Looking for a US S/L Under the Dome with cards and belly band for $250ish. PM me or email me at Betts.

[WeDealInLead]

Looking for The Drawing of the Three S/L.

[colling]

Looking for LSOE s/l#629 if anyone comes across it.

Also have a spare s/l wolves (#475) for sale if there are any takers.

best wishes
Martin

[George at C-Springs]

There's a couple of the Drawing of the Three S/Ls on ABE's right now, priced between $900 & $2200 ... the $2200 one is #96. Pricey.

[tippy4]

Looking for The Drawing of the Three S/L.

Take a look at my recent post in the classifieds section

[WeDealInLead]

Thanks for the responses.

I must be spoiled because the most expensive Dark Tower S/L I have was $400 so I can't really justify any of those prices.

[Ricky]

Still (desperately) looking for a 1st fine copy of The Talisman. Anyone?

[tippy4]

Thanks for the responses.

I must be spoiled because the most expensive Dark Tower S/L I have was $400 so I can't really justify any of those prices.

Yeah, but you can't really compare DT23 to DT567 for prices.

Just like DT1 is in a class by itself.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Rick is correct. A DT S/L with a number below 500 (giving the opportunity to have a completed matching # set), out weighs a DT S/L with number above 500.

I understand not everyone is into the matching number deal but history shows; value goes up when the books are tied together as a set.

Mulleins

[WeDealInLead]

I know. I paid $350 for DT3 from a member here so I'm willing to wait. Deals are there if one is patient.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I know. I paid $350 for DT3 from a member here so I'm willing to wait. Deals are there if one is patient.

Oh sure...patient is key. I let 5, 6, & 7 S/L go to a member here at exact publish price. All over 500 # though. If you don't want matching, you can get a set for lower investment. Beware though, when you finally add Gunslinger S/L, it will call out to you to find the matching numbers :)

[tippy4]

I think the going price for a DT2 is $800 to $1000 and $350 to $500 for a DT3.

I am asking the high end on mine because they are numbered below 501, and because the both have the same number.

I know matching #s are not your thing, so I can understand you not wanting to pay the "low / matching # premium".

I find it unlikely that you will find a DT2 below $700 (unless there are issues with the condition).

[thegreattim]

Haven't had a chance to be around the forums recently, but I find myself in the market for a signed Bag of Bones that I will be giving as a gift. Please PM me (with price) if you are willing to sell either the first Scribner trade or the Hodder limited. Willing to pay fair market value, but would prefer to buy from you guys here over a random online bookseller.

Also, a premium may be paid for *any* signed King with a personalization to the name "Jeff". Long shot, I know, but worth putting out there.

[tippy4]

I have one inscribed To Roxanne.

Any interest?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I find it unlikely that you will find a DT2 below $700 (unless there are issues with the condition).

Totally agree. For some reason DT2 is the hardest to find.

[tippy4]

I find it unlikely that you will find a DT2 below $700 (unless there are issues with the condition).

Totally agree. For some reason DT2 is the hardest to find.

Well that is because it has the second lowest print run of all of the Dark Tower books.

It seems harder to get than DT1 which has a lower print run. Check out the numbers for sale on ABE etc to see what I mean. Lots of DT1, but hardly any DT2.

[harrison ryan]

I think I've been bitten by the collecting bug.
I'm looking for first trades of DT2-4, and a second printing of The Gunslinger. I'm not too fond of ebay, really. It's impersonal, and the accountability is not always what it should be. I am a little picky about condition, but it's not a dealbreaker either, if the price is right. I plan on reading the entire series through once more--it will be the first time for 1-4 in hardcover form! Thought I'd throw this out there and see what the true DT fans have to part with at the moment...pm's and pictures if you have anything that might suit. Thanks in advance!

You can still get a first trade of DT II directly from Grant I believe.

True, but still a good price! And brand new direct from the publisher to boot.

[WeDealInLead]

You can also get first 3 hardcovers from Betts for $160. DT I is 3rd printing (different artwork), DT II is 2nd printing (different artwork), DT III is 1st printing. The price is worth it for alternate artwork alone IMO and the books come in a still sealed slipcase.

Interesting, but I kind of want to hold out for firsts, with the exception of DT1. Personally, I'm not so fond of the re-worked covers.

[herbertwest]

Hey guys, i need an advice, cause i have found an item that i want... but it's not that simple.

Couple of months ago (already? time flies!) i have seen an offer on a website about a set of magazines from let's say 76-80, with 20 magazines. I am looking for a specific issue of 76.
Therefore i show my interest to the seller but say that i need to know what issue she have from 76...
She is slow to answer, especially since she apparently doesnt have herself the magazines but had put the offer for her dad's magazines... after about a month i managed to know which issue she have (of 76)... and there is the one i am looking for!
That was two weeks ago. I reply saying that ok, i will buy the whole set as planned... please let me know the shipping cost etc.

No reply since.
What do you recommend me to do?
Even if she replies and tell me to send a check and etc... i dont really know if i should trust her : she's slow to reply, and i wouldnt be suprised if i never recieve the magazines..
On the other hand, it's the issue i am looking for, a reasonable price (let's say about 50€, and i would happily pay more than this for the single issue)...
also, if i can get the whole set, i am convinced a shop would buy me the other issues and that i could maybe even make a margin out of it...

i think that i have her phone number somewhere in my phone...

Exactly which issue are you looking for from '76? I am going through all my magazines to put a list up here, and I might have what you're looking for if it is Stephen King related.

Steve

[herbertwest]

It's a french magazine that i am interested by.

[biomieg]

Anyone have decent copy of this magazine for sale? It's the October, 1970 issue. There are a couple on ABE but the cheapest is $89 and I'm not sure if that's a good price...

http://pictures.abebooks.com/CWORLD/1247576980.jpg

I'm also looking for these issues:

Cavalier (February 1972)
Cavalier (April 1972)
Cavalier (September 1972)
Cavalier (December 1972)
Cavalier (March 1973)
Cavalier (March 1974)

[jhanic]

That's probably the most expensive of the Cavalier issues. I paid $95 for mine a year ago, but it's in mint condition. The others are easier to find (though still fairly scarce). Check out Hutch's site:

http://www.marketworks.com/storefrontprofiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?sid=1&sfid=30007&c=0&search_text=cavalier&submit=GO

His prices are a bit high, but his descriptions are right on.

John

[biomieg]

Thanks, John! Would you believe that I had never used the search function on Hutch's store before? I didn't even know he had all those magazines on the site.

[demorgan]

IF anyone is wanting to sell their signed/limited of THE STAND..msg me. If the price is right, then we can further discuss it. Thanks in advance.
PS..jumping to another topic..has anyone heard anything about when the next joe hill gunpowder(slavegirls) is going on sale..:)

[Niels]

@Michael : Have a look at oldmags.com, the march '74 issue is available. $27.95 + $18.95 shipping. I've bought all my '72 and '73 copies there.

[biomieg]

Dank je wel, Niels!! Goede tip!

Please send me a pm if you have any of these to sell or know someone who does :)

[biomieg]

I'm looking to upgrade a bunch of my US and UK 1st trade editions to F/F condition (or in the case of the early Doubleday books, as close to fine as possible).


US The Shining
US The Stand
US Night Shift
US Cujo
US Christine
US Shawshank Redemption hardcover (I have two ex-library copies but'd like to have a 'true' copy)
US Pet Sematary
US Talisman
US Thinner
US Skeleton Crew
US Misery
US Tommyknockers gold-lettered variant
US Stand Uncut
US Bag of Bones
US Hearts in Atlantis



UK Dead Zone
UK Firestarter
UK Christine
UK Misery
UK Tommyknockers
UK Gerald's Game
UK Nightmares & Dreamscapes
UK Bag of Bones


The earliest US books are not my priority as the copies I have are pretty decent and better copies will not come cheap. The books most in need of an upgrade are my US THINNER and EOTD.

Also, I need a copy of this book (I don't have it yet so any copy will be an upgrade):


UK Breathing Method hardcover (preferably not an ex-library copy unless it's in really good shape)

[Cook]

Biomieg,
US Shawshank Redemption hardcover?
Do you mean different seasons?

[biomieg]

Nope, I mean this one:

Biomieg,
Wonders never cease, I've never seen this book.
Thank you

[biomieg]

It's pretty scarce to begin with, and much more so in a non-ex-library state. Apparently almost all copies went to libraries at the time. The same is true for the UK Breathing Method hardcover. This pic shows both of them (picture courtesy of Mr. Rabbit Trick, I hope you don't mind, Alan!):

[Randall Flagg]

biomeg, I have several extra copies of books on your list, but shipping will probably cost as much as buying the books.

[biomieg]

Jerome, I know. But compared to getting a single book at a time and paying shipping costs separately for every book, getting several books from a single seller and having them shipped in a single box is cheap (relatively speaking). Shipping costs are the bane of us foreign collectors.

[George at C-Springs]

Good luck with that! It'll be bone marrow at the very least.

[Ric]

Not sure if this appeals to anyone, but I have a U.S. ARC of Hearts in Atlantis that I'm not interested in. I'd like to trade it for something, but I'm not sure what. I'd like a copy of the UK limited slipcased Just After Sunset. I'd add cash to the ARC if anyone's willing to trade for that.

The ARC is in good condition, but not perfect. If I had to grade it, I'd say VG+ with no marks, stains or damage other than normal shelf wear.

I also have a Secretary of Dreams Vol II (no slipcase) that I'd be willing to trade as well.

Thanks

[biomieg]

I remember that someone was looking for a F/F copy of THE TALISMAN. This one comes pretty close (it's not perfect but very nice): http://cgi.ebay.com/Straub-Peter-Stephen-King-TALISMAN-hc-dj-1st-FINE-/120666834488?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item1c184dc638

Yep it does. I have it listed as its first appearance.

[Tito_Villa]

Thanks shannon but none of the nicer copies will ship to the UK

Alos Cook thats good of you to offer but i'm sure you will probably want more because it is signed and i just don't have any real interest in Goodkind so i will probably givbe it a miss

Guess it depends on how much a kidney is going for nowadays ;)

I'm not sure what a really good price on one of these should be in today's market. I had a slightly flawed copy (some rubbing to the gilt page edges) that I sold to Betts for $1,350.00 a few years back so that I could upgrade to a pristine copy at $1,500.00 (quite a deal even then).

[George at C-Springs]

Still looking for a copy of the DTIII proof (Grant).

They're pretty common. Betts has two right now:

sp51 Dark Tower: Waste Lands Proof from Grant - new in shrinkwrap (white cover) $125
Dark Tower III The Waste Lands ARC - Grant publication with white cover - Fine $125

One on Abe with the artist's proofs included, but price is insane: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=25843576&searchurl=kn%3Dproof%26sts%3Dt%26tn%3Dthe%2Bwaste% 2Blands%26x%3D57%26y%3D11

None on eBay at the moment, but they show up fairly often.

[Shannon]

lol while scrolling down to get to the newest message, I read things like this:

"Guess it depends on how much a kidney is going for nowadays"

"They're pretty common. Betts has two right now"

lol

[Ricky]

They're pretty common. Betts has two right now:

sp51 Dark Tower: Waste Lands Proof from Grant - new in shrinkwrap (white cover) $125
Dark Tower III The Waste Lands ARC - Grant publication with white cover - Fine $125

None on eBay at the moment, but they show up fairly often.

I'm fairly sure the two at Bett's are the same copy, listed twice. I bought it a couple of months ago, but David didn't realize that it wasn't in the shrinkwrap and wasn't in fine condition, so I sent it back. The search continues...

[Merlin1958]

I'd be interested in a DT III Proof at $125. PM me anyone, Buellar, Buellar, Buellar!!!!!


LOL

[jhanic]

Do you mean the Grant proof or the Plume proof? (I don't have extras of either, but I think it should be clarified.)

John

[Merlin1958]

Do you mean the Grant proof or the Plume proof? (I don't have extras of either, but I think it should be clarified.)

John

Sorry you are absolutely correct.

The Grant Proof was what I meant. I'd go as high as $160 if necessary. However, I defer to your expertise, John if my price point is far off.

[jhanic]

I don't think you're that far off. You should be able to find one in that range if you're patient.

John

[Ricky]

I've been looking for one for about a year now. Unfortunately, the best priced one I've been able to find is about $250.

Killbourne - I've got a good friend who has a super nice copy of THE STAND signed/limited she got new that was only just opened the box up and lifted the cover carefully to look at the sig and number a time or two. I was helping her try and sell it along with a couple other things since she doesn't do the ebay thing (she used to have a store and is very trustworthy). She was asking $2500 or best offer and I believe she still has it. If you're interested drop me a line here or at: darkdiscoveries@msn.com

I had the rare honor of visiting "the basement" many years ago. I left without any skin on my back, and missing the big toe from my right foot, but it was definitely worth the price of admission.

I do wonder though ... what book did he make with the parts he collected?

[carlosdetweiller]

I do wonder though ... what book did he make with the parts he collected?

An ultra limited edition (one of one) of Kinsella's THE IOWA BASEBALL CONFEDERACY. I needed some authentic material from Iowa.

I remember seeing your collection thread for the first time when I joined the forum a couple of years ago and you mentioned then that there were at least five proof collections out there that were more complete than yours. Is that still the case, John? If the list above is all you still need (yes I know they're all very scarce), then: wow! You're getting awfully close to the finish line!

[jhanic]

Yeah, I'm sure there are a number of more complete proof collections than what I have, but I think I'm in the top ten at least. It does get expensive now, though!

Just to avoid confusion, Grant refers to the Gunslingers as "First Edition" and "Second Edition" rather than first and second printings. As I'm sure you're aware you'll have a much easier -- and less expensive -- time tracking down a second edition. Good luck!

[Shannon]

You know, I am going to build myself a time machine. After my time machine is complete, I am firstly going to take a tiny secret trip and make a tiny secret friend, but more on that later. AFTER I do that, I am going to go back to when you FIRST started collecting, about a hundred years ago, when you were only fifty-two years old. And I am going to convince the very first person who sold you your very first item to give it to you for free. You will spot it sitting on a shelf or propped up on a table after your daily ritual of walking the shores of the beach and laughing at the ducks. You feel a connection with this Stephen King item. You must own it. You quickly look around, and before anyone else sees the treasure that is before you, you grab it and walk hurridly towards the front counter with the item slightly tucked in the crook of your right arm. There is a man there, a very polite man with whom I have made friends with only ten minutes prior. You will walk up to him, carefully place the item on the counter and in a nervous voice ask how much it would cost you. The man will smile and simply extend his arms forward, slowly pushing the item back to you. "It's on the house, my friend." And at this moment you will feel a sense of astonishment the likes of which you have never felt before. You're going to wonder ...

"Why?"

and you are going to say ... "Oh my God, mister ... Thank you!" and he's going to say, of course, "You're welcome, I hope you enjoy the rich and exciting new world of Stephen King." You will smile, and turn to walk away, holding your new and free Stephen King item in your hands, watching it glisten as it catches our closest star's rays, turning it over and over again, inspecting each and every square centimeter, feeling the power that the item brings with it, imagining what the next hundred years of Stephen King collecting will be like. You are going to feel something that you have been grasping for your entire life.

Joy.

And THAT is when I'm going to step out from around the corner of the building and command my pet dinosaur to eat you.

And you will smile, and turn to walk away, holding your new and free Stephen King item in your hands, watching it glisten as it catches the Sun's rays, turning it over and over again, inspecting each and every square centimeter, feeling the power that the item brings with it, imagining what the next hundred years of Stephen King collecting will be like. You are going to feel something that you have never felt before.

Joy.

And THAT is when I'm going to step out from around the corner of the building and command my pet dinosaur to eat you.
Did you enter that in the Cemetery Dance short story contest?

Also looking for: Ubris fall 1968, fall 1969 and spring 1968 to buy - cash or trade....

Does that mean you already have a copy of the issue with 'Night Surf' (Spring '69)? That seems to be the hardest one to find (or so I was told).

Yep. Have that edition of Ubris as well as Onan, Moth, Contraband. Looking for the other Ubris issues and Marshroots (Marshroots is the impossible one to find...)

[Shannon]

iowabob - I'll pass on the other ornaments from the Bangor Historical Society. I can't collect EVERYTHING now ... lol. The Derry ornament, that's something I would buy though, is it yours? Where did you find the picture? Give me info info info! :)

Michaël (ha!) - Thanks for the heads up, found it and am watching it. Ends in two days.

George - Having a dinosaur eat Jerome makes me smile.

Jerome - Nope, that was only for you. :)

Very nice! You're ahead of me in the pre-Carrie game. I still need two Ubris issues, Onan, the Contrabands and Marshroots (counting from the 1967 Startling Mystery Mag, I don't expect to ever obtain anything older than that). And some Cavaliers but those are easy.

[Pasiuk57]

Marshroots is tough
It took me many years to find one and then got lucky!
Took some help to get one!!

[Merlin1958]

You know, I am going to build myself a time machine. After my time machine is complete, I am firstly going to take a tiny secret trip and make a tiny secret friend, but more on that later. AFTER I do that, I am going to go back to when you FIRST started collecting, about a hundred years ago, when you were only fifty-two years old. And I am going to convince the very first person who sold you your very first item to give it to you for free. You will spot it sitting on a shelf or propped up on a table after your daily ritual of walking the shores of the beach and laughing at the ducks. You feel a connection with this Stephen King item. You must own it. You quickly look around, and before anyone else sees the treasure that is before you, you grab it and walk hurridly towards the front counter with the item slightly tucked in the crook of your right arm. There is a man there, a very polite man with whom I have made friends with only ten minutes prior. You will walk up to him, carefully place the item on the counter and in a nervous voice ask how much it would cost you. The man will smile and simply extend his arms forward, slowly pushing the item back to you. "It's on the house, my friend." And at this moment you will feel a sense of astonishment the likes of which you have never felt before. You're going to wonder ...

"Why?"

and you are going to say ... "Oh my God, mister ... Thank you!" and he's going to say, of course, "You're welcome, I hope you enjoy the rich and exciting new world of Stephen King." You will smile, and turn to walk away, holding your new and free Stephen King item in your hands, watching it glisten as it catches our closest star's rays, turning it over and over again, inspecting each and every square centimeter, feeling the power that the item brings with it, imagining what the next hundred years of Stephen King collecting will be like. You are going to feel something that you have been grasping for your entire life.

Joy.

Shannon, that's a very sad, sad, story!!!! You never ended up with "TMSG"!!!!!

[Shannon]

Ah, but in that alternate timeline, I become the new Randall Flagg and this is my website. Welcome!

Hi Randall. I hear you have a spare TMSG. Care to sell me one?
Thanks

New Randall Flagg Shannon: Hello new ShannonsMovies, love the name. I DO have a spare TMSG, and I would be glad to share it, because I am nice like that to all my fellow collectors.

ShannonsMovies Shannon: HEY! I see what you did there! I didn't think anyone else from here was from my alternate reality. Beware my T-Rex.

Hi,
Not sure what your 2nd edition slipcover for gunslinger is worth but if you let me know and if you still have it, im very interested, thanks,
Simon






Anyone have an extra 2nd edition Gunslinger jacket they care to sell. Picked up a copy of the book and the book its self is more or less unread and in fantastic shape, the jacket onthe other hand is not good at all, not sure how such a bad jacket ended up on such a great book !! But would like to add a great jacket to a great book if someone is willing to sell !!!! I know some of you out there have a few of them laying around !!
I have one extra of the 2nd edition (Fine condition) and three of the 1st-NF condition.:thumbsup: Make a serious offer.

[Shannon]

iowabob - Ooooooooh, I like it. I may have to reevaluate my previous statement about not wanting the other ornaments. That is cool. :) Do you have the other ones?

[iowabob]

I think I have a total of 7 ornaments (including SK's house and the standpipe). If I remember correctly, there really isn't anything SK related with the other 5. I'll double-check and let you know.

Sorry bro, I don't.

Back in 1999 (?) I went to Bangor for the "Bag of Bones" signing that Stu held at Betts. It was in Novemer, and I picked up one of each of the ornamnts while I was there. In hindsight, I wish I'd bought more of the standpipe and SK's house because of the obvious tie-in with "It" and Mr. King. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

iowabob

PS Got any new 79's you want to brag about? ;)

[Cook]

Yes I do, thank you very much by the way.
Pics to come... been really swamped at work lately.

[Merlin1958]

I have 10 years running of "FAO Schwartz" Xmas Ornaments. Do they count?


LOL :wtf:

Does anyone have a PDF of King's reading list for summer 2011 which was Entertainment Weekly that they would share with me?
Many thanks

Did the last Pop of King column go online?

You may want to check with Iowabob or 1955spartan. Just a thought.

Looking for Gift Edition of Secretary Of Dreams Vol 1. Please PM me if you have one for sale.

[biomieg]

Sorry Juliana, I just sold mine.

[sgc1999]

does anyone have s/l sisters #520? I could trade or pay cash. i have #2-7 would love to match up my set. also selling 5-7 s/l if all goes well with recieving my #520 set.
Thanks,
Simon

[Ric]

Did you buy the #520 set from David? I know he's had it up there for awhile. Congrats!!

[sgc1999]

Ya, im so siked to finnaly be close to haveing a matched set. dont know if i will be able to find sisters and i know gunslinger only goes to 500 but thats close enough for me :)

[Patrick]

Congrats on your almost-complete #520 set. Out of curiosity, what numbers are the 5-7 S/L's that you mention selling?

[sgc1999]

Im thinking of selling #747 since the person who has #3 and 4 wants $2600 for the two books.

[divemaster]

That's insane.

[WeDealInLead]

Fuck that. He bought those two books from me for $900. Sell your 747s and buy different S/L editions instead. Making $$$ is always good when selling books but $2500 for two DT books that aren't even that hard to find????? Unreal.

[Ric]

Seriously, that's price gouging at its worst. 747 is too scattered anyway, I know who has the LSoE #747s. Better off just getting what works for you and not worrying about trying to match off the bat. Plus you did great with the #520 set so that's a start.

[sgc1999]

I agree, thanks for the heads up. i thought it was way to high too. Im gonna work on a diffrent set.

[Rahfa]

I usually try not to fault sellers for trying to get top dollar, but that price makes NO sense at all. The set can't be fully matched, and while DT IV is scarce, DT III certainly isn't.

If he paid $900, he should be very content to sell in the $1500 range. But...he might have his reasons, who knows.

It is price gouging, but in a buyer's market he's practically gouging himself - he has a motivated buyer, which probably will not happen a second time anytime soon.

Still looking for the Grant Wastelands proof in shrinkwrap and The Green Mile paperbacks 1-6 in Fine condition.
