Yeah, zero feedback can be scary!

i would expect that it is easier to perpetrate shill bidding by using new accounts with little or no feedback
Shill bidding won't be the problem...a phony, timewasting bid would be...but everybody's got to start somewhere.

If the seller receives the auction ending price- 7.5K (or what ever an auction ends at) all is well. If not, it would be trouble.
Another complete set confirmed, #301, owned by Bruce Hanson, a customer of Betts. That makes 58 complete numbered sets known and 4 PC sets.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.

You can put #71 on the list as DT, I, III-VII, but no II.
I used to keep the # a secret so I could pounce if I saw a book with the same number and not worry about someone bidding me up, but I sold a couple books with that number recently, and so I'm not as attached as I used to be...
Of course, if anybody has #71 DT II, let me know and I'll trade you my s/l Author's Edition!
#117 is being offered by Quill & Brush
For Stephen King Fans:The Complete Dark Tower CollectionIncludes the first appearance of The Gunslinger, serialized in five issues of Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine from October 1978 to November 1981; all seven limited-edition volumes of The Dark Tower series, each signed by King and the illustrator; and the first trade editions of all seven volumes, including both the first and second editions of The Gunslinger. Remarkably, most of the books are still in the publisher's original shrink-wrap, and the fragile magazines appear new.In Pristine Condition
KING'S MAGNUM OPUS
The Washington Post's Bill Sheehan called this series "a humane, visionary epic and a true magnum opus" that stands as an "imposing example of pure storytelling," "filled with brilliantly rendered set pieces... cataclysmic encounters and moments of desolating tragedy."
The collector of these volumes acquired all of the Donald M. Grant editions--limited and trade issues--from the publisher at the time of publication. For the Dark Tower series, Grant registered each purchaser's limitation number and as subsequent volumes were published, offered that limitation number to the original purchaser first. All of the limited edition volumes in this collection carry the relatively low limitation number of "117."The Collector
After spending nearly 30 years putting together this collection, it is the collector's desire that they remain together. He also offers a few of the original promotional brochures, as well as his money order receipt from 1982 for the purchase of the very first book in the series, The Gunslinger.

Added #71 and 117 to the list. Now at 59 complete same-number sets! That is way more than I would have guessed, more than 1 in 10 possibles.

Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I am so tempted to buy this collection.....

Go on...go on...go on...go on... (in a Father Ted's housekeeper accent)
You can buy supercollector Chris Cavalier's complete same-number set (#187)with matching LSOE Artist and S/L for $11k through Betts Books (It is listed at $12k, but Chris just told me he'd sell at $11k). That's a HUGE savings over the Quill and Brush set with mucho$$ left over to buy that other stuff.I am so tempted to buy this collection.....

11K pounds. Ouch!
Yeah. No chance at that price. Incidently, this is the seller that I bought my S/L Gunslinger from.
#499 is complete, made known to me a few days ago and is for sale. Price under $10k. That makes 64 complete same-number sets that I have accounted for.
