That's a very nice one! And a very good deal for $250!

**Merlin1958** · 08-20-2012 10:42 AM

Any chance we could get a "featured photo shoot" shot of it here, "Mike" (LOL)? That's just about the most AWESOME deal ever!!!!

One on ebay for $1300.

Worth <$500

**Thelangoleer** · 08-20-2012 01:08 PM

So what is causing the crazy prices for s/l wttkh?

**Thelangoleer** · 08-20-2012 01:12 PM

And I should also ask what the heck twttkh is gonna stabilize at

**Thelangoleer** · 08-20-2012 04:40 PM

S/l IT with matching number portfolio

**Jimimck** · 08-20-2012 04:43 PM

I've seen S/L IT's for as low as $600, but usually around $700. The Portfolios were selling at around $95 if I recall correctly (a few at Betts).

**Thelangoleer** · 08-20-2012 04:51 PM

Think that price will hold?

**Jimimck** · 08-20-2012 05:24 PM

I don't really know. Some of the experts here will have a better opinion. Issue price of the s/l was $475 wasn't it? Maybe settle down around $650 as a guess???

**divemaster** · 08-20-2012 06:19 PM

On a more positive note, a S/L DT III just sold at eBay auction for $530. About two years ago they were going for less than $250. I know, b/c I picked one up for $230. Main reason I think was that one particular seller flooded the market with about 10 or 15 copies he dumped one right after the other.

**Scoogs** · 08-21-2012 08:14 PM

I almost bid on that DT III...

What are copies of Little Sisters S/L going for now that the lottery is over? I'd be fine with a high number if that made it more affordable.

I don't think you would need to pay any more than the issue price.

**tippy4** · 08-27-2012 07:46 PM

Prices are still up.

I think if you could actually find one, you are going to pay around $500.

Hey everyone. A close friend recently had a chance to get a first edition Carrie signed by Mr. King. The book, of course, meets all the first edition points, and he was curious as to how much it might be worth in today's market. I can post pictures if needed, but the book is in remarkably nice condition, given it's age, in my opinion. This is his description of the condition:

I sent you a link to the photos I took some of them are hard to see, the point is that the book is very clean. Slight edge wear on outside corners of DJ and there is a slight fading on DJ spine where it appears there may have been a sicker of some kind (thumb nail sized) Boards are clean pages clean no writing except the signature, gutter code is correct copyright page correct price on DJ

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

**divemaster** · 08-31-2012 10:49 AM

A "thumb nail sized" sticker on a book spine is usually a library Dewey decimal tag. If you are lucky, it is merely an ex-lib DJ married to a trade First. (My copy of Christine is thus). Check the book itself for any stamps or remnants of a pocket that might have been removed.

**Shannon** · 08-31-2012 12:09 PM

I'm gonna guess ... $1,200, on a good day.

**Dan** · 08-31-2012 02:28 PM

What are the Steven King Red Leather books going for? I have 18 of them and am thinking of selling.

There are no other library indicators in the book at all, looks remarkably nice. And from what I understand, the place where the sticker used to be isn't on the bottom where you'd see the dewy stickers. Possibly an old price tag or something.

When did King sign it-late 70's, or this year? Did king sign in ball point pen, or a sharpie? That can make a huge difference. Those combined with the book and DJ condition make a range of $450-$1,450.

Maybe a lot....those kinds of typos are uncommon, maybe even unique.

LOL! Very funny! They pop up on eBay all the time averaging around $20 a piece, but when sold in lots the price goes down to around $10-15 each.

It was signed about three weeks ago, in, from the pictures he sent me, what looks to be a ball point pen. I'll pass this info on to my friend... thanks for the thoughts! I think he was hoping for quite a bit more.
