    I agree with Jeff on this one. I had the same thoughts in my head. Even when I was just starting out, I tried to figure what something was worth to make sure I was not getting ripped off. In this case, IMHO, It's not the fault of Kris that the guy had the price so low. If you are in this line of "work", selling books and buying books, it's up to you to to figure out what something should cost. If I am a seller, and I have something that looks unique, or even not so unique, and I sell it for a price that is way lower than it should be, that's my fault, not the buyers fault. The buyer just ended up getting a great deal. If your are a seller, the onus is on you to do your research to figure out what the price should be, not me. Just my thoughts. Feel free to flame away. I tried to organize them the best I could.

    CONGRATS on the book, I like mine better than the lettered curious if you feel the same? I prefer the more simple approach they used

    Isn't book collecting fun?

    Sometimes you get a good deal. Sometimes you don't.

    An honest transaction doesn't create a moral dilemma.

    Kris, you made quite a find! You have a nearly priceless book and realized an increased value of ~4.7 times the purchase price! Nice!

    I bought a proof that was listed as a paperback. It cost ~$12 shipped. I traded the proof for a book that was worth ~$250. That is a return of 21 times the original purchase price. Smaller potatoes, but still very exciting!

    Strange that an ostensible promoter of markets decries the secondary book market.

    Thanks man. And perhaps he should have told Bookstore1 that his $30 dollar signed If It Bleeds was worth about 26 times what he paid. That’s even higher than your proof and my book! Funny a member told me the only thing they seen “tactless” in this thread are his comments.

    I need to weigh in because something(s) just don't jibe for me. But before I piss everyone off, let me sleep on this before I write anything. But just to give you all a hint at where I'll be going, I want to share that within the last year I had an opportunity to buy a signed Doubleday proof. The seller was aware that it was rare but he underpriced the item. He just wanted to recoup his money and asked for $4.8K. I told him that that number was too low and I told him I'd pay $6K because that was more in line with its real value.

    And I never cease to be amazed at the hypocritical sentiments when the situation is reversed. Remember when David sold the "Salem's Lot Printer's Copies at a ridiculously low price because he hadn't noticed that they were signed by King? David repriced the items AFTER he was told that the books were signed. He admitted that he made a silly mistake but knew that people would understand when he increased the price. But that same generosity doesn't seem to be available to the seller of The Shining. Do you think that person would seriously want $3.5K when the real value is at least $9K higher?

    I would have never bought that book without telling the seller the complete backstory. And I sure as hell would blast to the world what a great deal befell my way. I'm sure I've pissed off enough people by now so I'll stop for tonight. But I'll return in the morning to take the incoming as well as state what really doesn't jibe for me.

    The Bookstore1 comparison doesn't hold. Bookstore1 surely knew the books were worth far more than issue price, but they couldn't charge fair market value, they were precluded from that and were happy to just sell ~250 books that were (TTBOMK) donated at $30 each and thus gross $7,500 in sales.

    I told my wife on numerous occasions to work with Lot Guy And David when disposing of my collection! Use Explorer to double check if in doubt and then sell the books on FACEBOOK. She will be rich!

    I gave her a few names to avoid when selling!

    Very interesting to hear people think absolutely nothing is wrong with it and some to think there is. I liked the comparison to finding a Carrie 1st in a thrift store. What would one do?

    Agreed, youu can’t compare Bookstore1. They did this through King as a method to generate goodwill and promote the bookstore. Price was consumer driven, not market driven.

    It's only a 30 dollar book for them, and even if damaged, the buyer would still be able to sell it for a lot more. Shall they want to

    Bad comparison. Thrift shops, Goodwill stores, etc. don’t do any due diligence when they get items to sell. They’re not in business to make massive profits.

    A $30 book should still be adequately packed for damage free shipping though, Jeremy. Just my opinion.

    I don't care if I pay $30 or $300 for something....I would like it to arrive undamaged

    Had they charged a $15 shipping and handling fee (instead of $5)...and included a box, foam peanuts, and a little common sense, they would have still sold out in one day.

    The result is more profit for the book store....and a lot less unhappy customers.

    I believe that is what they call in business a "win-win".

    My take... I paid $30 for a signed King book (which I am still waiting to be delivered, but I digress). Even if that book has a bumped corner or two, it’s going to end up in a slipcase, put on my shelf, and I will eventually forget about any flaws. In the end, I still paid an unreal $30 for a signed King book!

    Yeah, mine is six days late, and not coming today or tomorrow according to USPS tracking.

    When you get yours in Chicago, mine should likely arrive the following day.

    Ah. Thanks for clarifying. I thought I signed up for that but I must have missed a step because I never get an email.

    Well, I thought the idea was to drum up new costumers for these small bookstores. If you want customer loyalty you should handle the merchandise with care. For me it wouldn't matter if it was signed or not, I would only be a repeat customer with them if they were cheaper then other sites, and was willing to except the risks.
