    Hello guys. This DANSE MACABRE looks quite nice and it so happens that I would like to upgrade my mediocre copy. This seller doesn't ship to Europe and for some reason eBay doesn't allow me to contact the seller directly to ask if he's willing to ship to The Netherlands.

    Please PM me if you'd be willing to place a bid on my behalf. Thanks a lot!

    *edit* I received several PMs, thanks a lot guys!

    Hmpff. Looks like the auction was ended early. I guess someone made the seller an offer he couldn't refuse? I really hate that...

    I've been guilty of "making an offer the seller can't refuse" and I don't feel bad about it. When I REALLY want an item, I'll do it!

    I know, John... it's the way things work. It's just that I would understand it better if it were a signed/limited edition or another scarce item...but a trade hardcover?

    This might be a pet-peeve of mine, but if something is up for AUCTION, then I'm always kind of bothered when the auction is ended early for whatever reason ( usually because someone made an offer ) ... I mean, they have a MAKE AN OFFER feature at eBay, and when the person put the auction up, they didn't choose that option. It just seems unfair. I mean, I'm prepped for the auction to go until the end time. If making an offer was an option - they should have used that feature in eBay, so I'd know that the auction might be ended early and could plan accordingly .... just sayin'. :shrugs:

    ETA: Oh, and to be clear - my issue there is with the SELLER who doesn't indicate to everyone that offers are accepted. I don't begrudge the buyer who takes the initiative. Not at all.

    And I agree with Pam - if a seller is open to offers it would be very nice to use the friggin' option... In that case I would have tried to establish contact with the seller and make him an offer. I guess I can file this under 'live and learn'.

    Any suggestions on where I can order online in the UK for a 1st/1st of the UK Full Dark No Stars where it will be packed properly and safely?. I have tried ordering UTD twice from Amazon.uk and both times the book arrived terribly battered. (so I'm still out of a UK UTD). It's too much of a hit and miss with Amazon.uk. I really like Hatchards packaging but they do not stock Stephen Kings online. I'd love to know where everybody else get their UK editions.

    Waterstone's are doing a good deal on a pre-ordered UK FDNS hardcover.
    RRP - £18.99 for £10.99. The problem is of course, that their packaging is notoriously poor...remember the S/L UTD fiasco. Not sure about the cost of posting to USA so you would need to go online and go through the ordering process to find out. If you don't want to risk buying that way, maybe I can organise something from this side of the 'pond' for you if you want.

    There is no-where in the UK that will package the book nicely, I buy from either Amazon or Book Depository, the problem is all online sites in the UK have free postage for books, dvd, games etc, which means they scrimp on packing to save money.

    Your best bet is to buy two copies (they'll be sent seperate) from Book Depository, then you have a good chance one will arrive nice, like maybe one will have a good dj while the other will have the book itself in good condition. They have free worldwide shipping (I assume your in the US) so buying two from them (they beat Amazon on prices - slightly) wouldn't work out much more expensive than buying one from Amazon.uk and shipping it to the US.

    This is a cool idea (helping people out with shipping overseas that is)! I've done this a couple times for friends like Rocky Wood, etc. and others have done it for me when it's something that only came out in Australia, UK, etc. or the seller won't ship overseas.

    I'm happy to do this for anybody else here as well.

    Thanks for the suggestions and offer. Mulleins has very kindly offered to get me the copies when he get his from his UK contact. It is rather discouraging trying to get something that must be rather common overseas with proper packaging. So I'm good for now.

    I have to say after last year's printing of UTD (the trade edition) I am no longer ordering my "collectable" copies online. Part of the reason is the shipping issues, the other part is just how bad the original printing of these books was. I found atleast half the copies at the book store had flaws that were caused in the acutal printing of the book, not to mention flaws that were caused in the packing of the book from the printer.

    I will now be buying these books at a book store so I can see what I am getting before I give up any money for them.

    And as always I am willing to help out any of our members in other countries with getting any books you want from here.

    Christine, I agree with you about buying current trade editions that you want to collect. Buying in person means you know the quality and the price differential should be pretty low or even non-existent.

    Once again I ask for help. There is an eBay seller listing a number of nice items (some magazines and assorted other stuff) and I would like to bid on a couple of them but she won't ship outside the US (I sent her an email to make sure). Please PM me if you would like to help me out. We're not talking big $$, maybe $20-30 combined at most for a couple of thingies.

    Thanks a lot!
