Intriguing Stephen King/King Related/Dark Tower Auctions-Sales

[stkmw02]

And here's another version he makes. He also makes other King characters, including Gage from Pet Sematary. Plus, he will make custom dolls. It's really incredible! Sorry for getting off the auction topic!!

Really cool but I could never own one. I loathe clowns ever since Poltergeist and IT the TV movie

[Bad Penny]

Thanks stkwm02, have emailed Terry Cruikshank and I'll see what I get back

[TwistedNadine]

Just gotta decide if I'm gonna learn to play the damn thing or just have the framer make a display case - self control is a lost art in this neck of the woods

So you were the buyer?

Sigh ... Nadine ... I cannot answer that question categorically as it may tend to (possibly) incriminate me (a lot) ...

lol I think its a very cool item and I think your entire collection is absolutely amazing. The clown obsession is a bit creepy tho Mr Penny (no offense...)

[TwistedNadine]

I agree but that's beside the point, isn't it? It's a bootlegged book with a DJ that looks nothing like the actual DJ of the 1st edition. So the only reason why anyone would want to buy this is because it's sort of a 'quirky' and unique item, not because it's a good-looking book (which it isn't).

What is a "pirated" copy? Someone actually took the time (and money) to print that up? Is it just a scan and then printed using a color printer? I dont get it.

It's on a larger scale than that. The ones with which I am familiar are from Taiwan. Published and sold in large quantities overseas without the blessings of King, his agent or his publisher. Of course, no royalties are sent to the author.

Ah. I missed that it was both book and DJ. Thot it was only the DJ. Curious tho, the book is in English (I assume) so who are they selling these pirated copies to?

Thanks Nadine, and no offence taken - kind of hard for me to argue or otherwise contest the point seeing all the evidence is posted hither and yon throughout this fine forum (brought me a Terry Cruikshank Penny yesterday - thanks to the Library Lass ). See, it just never ends

Oh man, congrats on the Terry purchase! His work is truly awesome!!

Is that Penny, who lives across the hall on The Big Bang Theory?

[herbertwest]

Stupid question but... selling an ARC prior to its publication (in this case, about 6 months prior to), is there any risk for the seller?

Mine was the second bid. I won't go above $200, so someone is going to luck out.
