I'll be bidding also, of course. And, like wiz, I'd expect to be out-bid, but I'll give it a good try!

A superb new acquisition John! Congratulations! Your collection sparked my interest in proofs and ARCs and you continue to inspire
(which doesn't make me less jealous of course)
(literally)
John, can we get a peek at the first page?
Congrats John!
I can't do that too easily without damaging the book. All I have is a scanner and to open the book wide enough to get the page could easily mess up the spine.Originally Posted by pablo

Don't do it John.
I updated the proof listing on page 1 for the UK Under the Dome proof to correct the color. At first, I thought it was black, but I noticed while reading it that the cover was more a blue/black.

Congrats John! Very nice catch indeed.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Congratulations, Kyle (kacod). Looks like he was the winning bidder for the Night Shift proof at $4050!
John
wowee, that's a hefty price.

I'm of the opinion that that was a very reasonable price for a Doubleday "long" proof. In fact, I've never seen one sold any cheaper than that. Nice going, kacod!
I saw one sell for $843 on July 16th....
But yes, I agree it was a good price at $4000. When you consider the age and the fact that only 33 or so were ever printed.
I've only seen one or two of these appear in last dozen years or so.

Sphere Gunslinger Proof
Thanx for the input gang. Some pretty interesting ideas. I especially liked the one about donating to the Presidential Republican party. Like they're going anywhere for awhile..... Ebay it is. It'll start tonight. Don't hammer me too much okay? You guys be safe.
I guess it all comes down to a simple choice for me. "Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying".
I hope kacod's transaction goes more smoothly. I'm still pretty angry about the way my deal was handled.I saw one sell for $843 on July 16th....

yeah... that's not a bad price IMO.
to bad the the seller had to feel they had to shell bid the price - if they wanted 4000 for it... they should have set buy it now of 4000.00 and just sold it in a legit way.
hope the transaction goes smootthly too... definitely one i'd get the extra ebay insurance on.
Greg-
You have my support on eBaying the Sphere Gunslinger proof. Logical and fair choice. I hope you get a good final price.

Hey I will take it off your hands for what you paid and save you the Ebay fees.
Nice grab with the UK proof John. You do have a sweet set up there. Congrats!
Geoff
I did not know how to attach an ebay link but the starting bid is $1000
I can't come close to spending that much.
