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.

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.

I am asking $1000 shipped from my door to yours. Anywhere in the world. I will use the shipping company of YOUR choice. The book will be sent in the same package that it was sent to me in from Cemetery Dance. I have not, I repeat, have not opened the bubblewrap the book is in. 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. Yes I accept Paypal, but I prefer a cashier's check due to Paypal's fees.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Sam

wow, over double price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Sam, never pm me!!!!!
BTW, paypals fees are much cheaper than yours,
please go to ebay for dumbness

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^.

---

That would be this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King...item2eba0cad85

One that completed yesterday

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King...item2317e150a2

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

Thanks guys.

$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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Merry Christmas ladies and gents.

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

**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 ;-)

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.

You already know what I want, you got it... I want it.
I asked 1st...

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.

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

He still hasn't received permission to do this type of sale.:emot-cthulhu:

The time hasn't been decided yet, but it will be around (I assume) noon PST.

I need permission to sell items in the Collectible Classifieds section? I think I missed that section on my TDT.org introductory newsletter ...

I really, really really want a 'Salem's Lot S/L.

Hi Shannon. Hiya pal. :nana:
