How much was the original price on the limited Legacies?
The Limited Legacies was originally sold at and has a cover price of $200.00.
Numbered $200
Lettered $450
well I missed out on ordering originally by a few months, when CD offered it again for 400.00 - I almost went for it...but was hit with a bunch of medical bills that stopped me.
I see a couple on ebay currently at 293.00, but suspect they'll go higher and the sellers are charging for 25.00 for shipping... so I got one that roy at badmoon was listing at $353.00 (no shipping charges).
guess I did ok.... might have gotten it a bit cheaper... but whatever...
anyone get the lettered here?
I'm looking to buy the lettered. Any sellers?
The signed hardcover of Robert McCammon's Baal got me...or...I got it!
Is it cheaper (shipping fee wise) to buy more books from Cemetary Dance in 1 go? Because if so I'd like to get in touch with fellow Dutch people who are interested in sharing shipping fees.
Another Dutchie here, Marc.
And yes, shipping books in one package certainly is cheaper.
Sharing shipping fees sounds like a great idea!

Keep in mind, though, that as a rule CD ships per order.
Meaning, if two or more people put in a separate order, these cannot becombined when shipped.
So, if three separate people order three separate books, one will have to do the ordering for all three.
I would have no problem at all with that, depending on the amount of money involved. The best would be to pay the person who's ordered the books roughly the amount of money you owe him/her and then after the books have arrived we can calculate exactly how much money should be payed. There's ofcourse a matter of trust here but I think that will work out ok. Further, risks can be spread out by not having the same person always doing the ordering.

That just looks like another of George's mistakes (which is understandable, in this case, since the book had not yet been issued.)

me too... a double whammy - lettered and a numbered - but McCammon always does...
The info in Beahm's price guide is interesting. My notes state that I ordered Legacies in 1998 for $150. My notes could be wrong but I believe that is what I paid. Did CD up up the price as they got into it. I also distinctly remember that the cover artist name was changed at some point during the wait. Beahm's guide clearly shows the earlier cover art.
Frik and other Dutch forum members who are interested in sharing shipping fees: please send me an e-mail (think my address is in my profile). If you are interested in this and have suggesties on how to do this, please write it in your e-mail.
Marc, good idea but I won't be participating. I rarely order anything from CD (l get my CD books on eBay, like 99% of my other books).
It's funny because I thought of this after reading one of your posts in this topic where you said that you can only buy 3 or more books from CD because of the high shipping costs. Anyway, if you ever wanna order just 1 CD book, feel free to contact me to ask if I want to purchase something as well.
I am not sure if it helps people outside of England but thought I would throw it out there. PS Publishing is carrying a handful of CD books to allow people in the UK to get them without the overseas shipping costs.
I'm going to have to look up that postSo far, I only ordered SOD I a couple of years ago and Peter Straub's PORK PIE HAT a couple of weeks ago.
Hm... maybe it was someone else's post. I looked for it but can't find it back.

I just worked it out, I would have saved $25NZD if I had of ordered SOD Vol 2 from here, compared to direct from CD. Total UK price - $135NZD. ($114 book, $21 shipping). Total US price $160NZD ($99 book, $61 shipping). The break down shows the savings come from the shipping cost.
So not a huge difference, but worth considering. Thanks for the post.
THE Richard Chizmar:
I actually paid a bit less shipping when I bought my second copy of SoDI from PS Pubs than when I bought my first copy from Cemetery Dance. And it's about 3,600 fewer miles and one international flight less from Maryland to my address than from the UK!
it would surely help me since I won't have to worry about whether or not I'll have to pay customs, so thanks.
You might want to look at boekstra.nl, they're offering SOD and RTB for €72,95.
When you order more than €50,- there is no shippingcost in NL.
I don't know if RTB has the slipcase (which is not the case at Amazon)
Maybe Brian knows if this is one of the small shops, like Bett's, who can (sometimes) order directly from CD.
Thanks, will look into it. Maybe there's a sub-forum somewhere here that I have missed that lists the various (inter)national bookshops? If not than it might be interesting to set up?
