Only on Salem's Lot.

Overpriced BIT, and signed on a bookplate, but you don't see many of these signed at all.
Additionally, the signature picture is not the best.

Are you saying you WOULD bid if he shipped internationally?

I don't bid on auctions that have shipping to USA only.

I find shipping internationally to be a pain in the ass, especially on extremely heavy items which is why I put that on Salem's Lot. I almost always end up paying out of pocket and shipping a book like Salem's Lot with tracking would probably cost at least $75. Sorry you find that offensive, but since you aren't bidding I'll try not to lose any sleep over it.

[tippy4]

I have had the same issues, so I generally do not like to ship internationally either.

However, if I do get a request to ship internationally, usually what I will do is estimate the shipping, and then tack on another $10 or so, and let the potential buyer know that if actual shipping is less, I will refund the difference once the book is shipped.

That's actually a very good idea.

The signature is ugly, but I think it could be real.

I recently purchased something from this seller, and it turns out he used to work for AMAZON and he once interviewed King.

I never even looked at the Salem's Lot auction. I was refering to the shipping to "United States", and not to "Worldwide" etc.

[tippy4]

Hey...I am the high bidder on that auction!

I don't think you should bid.

On selling on eBay to international buyers, I have always lost money. Last year I sold my Deluxe Salem's Lot black ink "I", after packing it in a bomb proof box and insurance for $7500 it cost me $100 over my shipping charges to ship it UPS. I always lose money shipping to the UK or International.

I don't know what to tell you. I mentioned more than once that no international shipping only applied to Salem's Lot and you are still making an issue out of it.

In my experience, if someone outside the USA wants to bid on one of my auctions, they will PM me and ask if I ship to their country.

[Rahfa]

Sorry to toss that kitten in the woodchipper...

I usually put free US shipping, and USPS at approx cost...most int'l bidders email to ask first anyway.

I just shipped international...cost $57 in the USPS large flat rate box....it's insured for loss only, and I can't track it...obviously I have customs info, so the post office could confirm delivery and I've never had any problems - but it is a pain and it always makes me worry that 'this time' will be the time the shipment has problems, so you can never know...

But, just to be clear, if I made a $7500 sale overseas and it cost me $3-400 to ship, I would do cartwheels...sometimes those are the sales you can only get because of exchange rate, etc...so that's cost of doing business...but I know what you mean. I sent a Dark Tower III-VII set by overnight domestic Fed-Ex once, and it cost $200 or something, and for some reason I only quoted a $75 price.

[Rahfa]

I'm posting this a few hours before it ends, so who knows the final bid...but the current bid strikes me as very low...it was a $135 issue price, has both Joe Hill and SK's signature and only $107 right now?

I would have expected that to go for more than $122.45.

Bad Time of the month to sell, aiming for the first of the month when many get paid usually yields better results in my experience.

Tippy,

This auction intrigues me - why you ask?

Well I won one of these advertising posters (signed) in a Simon and Schuster online contest. I eventually sold it becasue I had no intention of ever framing it and hanging it in my home. Well, I would have, but my better half put the kabosh on that idea, so I decided to make some $$$ to help purchase something else. As I recall, I got somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 - $200 for it and the buyer was none other than Stu Tinker of Betts Books!

Now what really intrigued me on this acution is the picture of the post laying flat with SK books holding it down. Here are two pics I used in my auction three and a half years ago! Look similar! There are not the same pic but they are similar! :-)

This signature is as real as it gets! I received this poster direct from S&S in a rolled tube.

and here being held down by some Dark Tower books.

Me too, especially considering there were 18 people watching it at the end.

I think I paid $200 for a PC copy about 8 months to a year ago. It ended up getting lost in the mail, and the replacement copy was one of the numbered, so it worked out better. I'm actually kind of surprised that the market has softened, even for this book, that has the father/son signatures.
