$4300 will buy you??????

[thegunslinger41]

Ok guys....lets post a hypothetical here. Lets say you find $4300 in a residence that you just broke in to,....oh...and lets say that you have LOTS of holes to fill in your Stephen king collection...oh, and lets just say that the police are never going to find out who broke in to that house. What King books could/would you buy. List books along with expected purchase price. I'll go first. Oh....and you are not allowed to purchase any lettered editions...just regular 1sts and signed/limited.


THE LONG WALK in awesome condition $150
Salem's Lot F/F 2nd state $600
Signed Carrie First $1200
NEL 1st Edition of Carrie fine/fine $1400
New Leiutennants' Rap $1000


Lets see your lists!!!

assuming you do not have one, get for as many dark towers as you can get you hands on. WTTKH - DT3 , or WTTKH - DT2 should be doable if you are negotiating good.


Assuming you have them - i would always try to get the doubleday 1/1s and nightshift in absolute pristine condition.
I would always prefer to get the 1/1 set complete before i buy any produced S/L editions that are created by any publisher.

But from my POW your prices are not doable.

You will not get a
THE LONG WALK in awesome condition $150
or a
Signed Carrie First $1200

i know what i am talking about ;D
I chased and shot both 2014 searching for them for years to get them. (at least in my preferred condition)

If i had this cash, i would go for nothing worse then mint.
My list would be:

S/L Gunslinger (4.3k ;D)

short list... hm... but thats why i am missing ;D

If i had one ?

1/1 Stand 400-600 depends on condition,
1/1 Danse Macabre 200-300 depends on condition,

and a few 1/1 after 1985 but nothing special (ok the pony 100-200 and the Werewolf (400-600) ... but what ... i have 4k !)

I would not break into said residence. I would pick up money on the street if said robber dropped it

DT 2 S/L or PC
The Stand S/L
Christine S/L

and if I had any money left
Regulators S/L or
Skeleton Crew S/L

This is more of a "game" than reality.
The thread will soon be moved.

Can all those with a F/F 2nd State 'salem's Lot for sale at $600 please PM me? I will happily buy that from you.

Same goes for a F/F UK Carrie 1st edition at $1,400 and a NLR (assuming it's the signed version) at $1,000 - these two alone will probably set you back $4,000 if you happen to find them (I think Bob owns the only F/F UK Carrie).

Personally, I'd spend the money on a few basic S/Ls I wouldn't buy otherwise because they're not my collecting focus: Firestarter, Danse Macabre, Cujo, EOTD, Skeleton Crew and Six Stories.
