Well, that's not QUITE true. I've sold a few things over the years. But you would be right if you said I didn't sell a whole lot. I love having duplicates.Originally Posted by Mr. Rabbit Trick
I don't think Bob has ever SOLD a King item.
I've bought three books from Bob in the past!I don't think Bob has ever SOLD a King item.
Received today (yes...today..sunday) for free:

well - i considered bidding on the UTD proof - but after it passed 400.00, i decided not to since i planned on trying to snag the gunslinger proof...
once again i ended up second best on that one...
so... who ended up with the UTD proof...
and who beat me on the gunslinger?
good thing i already have lots of stuff coming in- i'd be really kicking myself.
actually, the last 5 seconds.... that's when i put my one bid in and rocketed it up.
yeah.... i figured since bob had returned it rather than keep it for a discounted price. he was pretty much out of the picture.
i knew john was my next competition from last time, and that he had bid 1200.00 + last time, so i figured he'd drop his bid to under a grand for the new damaged version.
so i bid just over a grand... wasn't counting on a bevy of new players. darn it.
interesting...can't wait to fin out who got it!
Greg, congrats on the great price!!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
I'm also very curious whether the UTD and The Gunslinger proofs ended up 'here'...
I was surprised to see the selling price so high but am happy for Greg. He made the right decision not to file the insurance claim with the post office.
I think that was the first one on eBay. At least I'm pretty sure it was the first one where the auction ran to completion. I am somewhat surprised. Hasn't Scribner (and/or someone in King's office) in the past interceded with eBay to shut down these proof/arc auctions prior to publication. I seem to recall that happening in the past. Or is that just my faulty recollection?
Bob
you are right...many times Ebay takes the proofs off before they sell. They missed this one. The seller got lucky as it could have been pulled from auction.
The only ebay name I could find that matched was: stevielandtoo
but I cannot see a connection with King books in this person's history.
There was one other UTD proof on ebay (that I have seen)with a BIN of $500 that sold August 15, I think someone here got it. I saw it, and an hour later it was sold...The recent was a 3 day listing, I think, and the seller was smart to list it over the Labor Day holiday (maybe that's why Scribner missed it).
I got the recent, probably overpaid...but you always ask yourself is this another Lisey's proof (BUNCH of them) or Cell (VERY few)? Guess I'll know in a month or two, probably be BIN's of $75! But I guess I can say I got to read it earlier than most.

I agree with you.
You can never be sure but I think it might be a bit rare. The UK version has not come up often either.....
As UTD has the biggest advertising campaign since Bag of Bones, I expect to see several types of proof/ARCs ets. Just like Bag of Bones.
We already have:
5 volume manuscript
US paperback Proof
US hardback ARC
UK paperback Proof
UK paperback sampler
There is a HB UTD ARC/Proof on ebay now for a BIN price of $375
