I'm not sure. Obviously condition is key. I tend to think it's going for less. I saw that the Gunslinger with 2 extra DJ's sold for $1050. Assuming they get a couple hundred bucks for each Fine DJ that book sold for $650. I'm not sure if that is a good gauge of value or not though. I've seen some nice copies stay stagnant at $900. I tend to think they are still market at less but the exact amount, I wouldn't be able to tell you that. Im sure more knowledgeable collectors will chime in here.
I just seen one sell for $900 that was not perfect and I heard of another one but your right Aron I did see that one with the jackets go for $1050... the only issue is they were folded jackets (rolled unfolded fetch large monies as we know... but hey I would agree they would grab $200ish each... For sure. I always thought the right number for a NF-F was about $750ish... but anyways just wondering what others were seeing! I paid about $800 for mine.. just checked my records....

I don't think $800+ is out of range.
I think sometimes you have to take recent sales with a grain of salt. I agree that in the last few months there have been a few Gunslingers that have been selling for surprising prices considering their condition, but sometimes people just overpay, as simple as that. Less than 2 months ago somebody paid 2800 dollars for a fine unsigned copy of Night Shift (http://www.ebay.com/itm/STEPHEN-KING...kAAOSwd4tUBnxe), but I don't think that shifts the general market value at all. I just think the buyer overpaid...severely in that particular case.
And if everything was 'on the up and up' with that triple jacket Gunslinger, I think it sold for cheap. If the person that won that takes the time and picks up 2 copies with beat up jackets for 350-400, puts the better jackets on them and turns them over for 650-700, then the fine copy they keep was about 400 bucks net. And that's being relatively conservative.
Thanks for the great discussion folks! Just was wondering what your thoughts were just seem to see a lot changing hands lately.

What is the current value of the Insomnia S/L?
Thanks. Appreciate the info.
I would agree. I've been watching them and the average sale is $325.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I hope we aren't watching the same book??

Hi guys, value for a S/L Joyland? One sold at betts for $325 recently. That a reasonable ballpark?
Looking for a reference retail price on a high-grade (fine in NF jacket) for the Viking EYES OF THE DRAGON.
The book itself is unread, tight and sharp; the jacket is brilliant but has a touch of wear at the corners and like wear--with a very small chip/closed tear--to top and bottom of rear jacket. I've seen the book itself in NF several times recently, but this is the best jacket that I've seen in many years.
