Question on the Secretary of Dreams gift editions.

If I were to ever sell them, would it be better to sell both volumes together or sell them separately? Or does it even matter?

My opinion is that it's better to sell them separately. There is a larger pool of buyers when you include those who only want one book.

[Garrell]

Agree

[Stockerlone]

How much do you think is the value of an S/L or lim. Stephen King book compromised by a misbinding / misprinting ?
(maybe... lim page upside down or pages out of order)
Would YOU buy such a book ??

[bdwyer19]

The Misery S/L had an issue with some pages out of order, right? Because of the high quality, demand definitely wasn’t impacted.

Yes, and many people purchased multiples of the second one because of the original's popularity. More people are in need of the first volume.

Value would depend on which one.

What would a mint condition 1s/1st US PB of The Long Walk go for these days? Thanks.

[Garrell]

It would "go for" my address

$300+

Thanks. I figured it be in that range.

Also, another question. If someone paid $700 for a signed 1s/1st of The Dark Tower Vll in fine condition would you consider that a huge overpay?

I would say that you overpaid. I believe you can acquire a TDT VII S/L for $350-400 these days. Am I wrong?


Not that I'm selling, but what would you folks value this at..............................

I guess I'm glad I didn't sell it when someone offered $450 for it a couple months back. I had it listed for $785 and someone offered $700 for it and I accepted.

Hey, I could be wrong, but I swear that I paid $350 for my TDT VII S/L only about a year ago. Then again, my memory isn't what it used to be for sure.

[Randall Flagg]

I would estimate the Charlie The Choo Choo at $1k+. It would be worth far more if the art was done in the SDCC book.
As for a King signed DTVII 1st edition, prices have gone for ~$450 two years ago, to much closer to $700 now.

[Beverly Marsh]

Is it just me or have CD's Doubleday series gone WAY up in price? I was looking to get AE's of Carrie and Salems as I didn't start getting AE's until The Shining(and continued going forth). There was a PC Salems for $800 I think on ebay and I saw a Carrie auction that was over $300. Not sure what it ended at. I think I'll keep my gift editions for those two as there's no way I'm paying that much above issue for either of those.

Yes, things are skyrocketing. Some more than others - CD Doubleday editions for sure. I’ve had a nice signed 1st of DT VII for sale for $500 for a while. When I put it up (on Abe) it was a high price at the time. Now it’s on the low end. Guess I should move it to eBay slap a slip case on it and ask $700? There’s a copy signed by King and Whelan for $650 up as well. Seems like a decent deal now.

Well, it's "Priceless" in my humble opinion and an item I treasure dearly in my collection. I truly believe, King was acknowledging not only my efforts, but the efforts of this entire site on behalf of 'The Haven Fund". We had some fun and did some fine work collectively on behalf of that charity. Your own contribution to that effort, El Jefe was nothing short of monumental as I recall. I can't even begin to list all the things you (and likely your family as well) did on behalf of that fundraising event every year.

Sorry, if I screwed the pooch on the DT VII. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of two years ago!! lol

That is an AWESOME item Bill! I love Ned's remarques in these. As you know I have one as well and it's gorgeous. Of course mine is not personally inscribed by King, lol.

Im gonna have to disagree with RF. I know a few (not signed) that went for big money. I bet if I listed that for Rare King it would fetch $2500-3000... MAYBE more.

[GenericEric]

Current value of Book of The Dead signed by 18 authors including King? Limited to 500 I think.

[jon10g]

Could someone tell me the current value of the limited edition Charlie The Choo Choo with the signed and numbered print please?
Thanks in advance.

[herbertwest]

I dont believe that there was a limited version in the USA, so that's the uk, right?

[jon10g]

Yes, it is the UK one.

[webstar1000]

Yes, it is the UK one.

$200ish
