King Books/Items Wanted

[Garrell]

Hope you get it

[Bad Penny]

Haha!!! Still need to visit this book collector dood here in Houston. He has a STAND S/L. Maybe i can wiggle that book outta his clutches. He's had it unsold for over 10 years....and "horror genre" isn't his thing he told me once. So maybe.....Keep your fingers crossed.

Good luck with that deal mate, if you can scoop one of these for less than $1,500 you'll be doing fine

[Merlin1958]

I hear that!!! I struck out recently at $1,250 with AKC. He may still have one, but not for $1k!!!

[divemaster]

Going from memory here, but the lowest price Stand S/L that I have come across that was either pristine or close to it went for $1,400. This was about 2 years ago. A bit of an outlier as all others I have seen (again, F or NF) have been over $1,500. I almost pulled the trigger. So $1,400 is my mental set point for purchase. If you can do better than that you should jump on it without hesitation.

Yeah, $1400-1700 seems to be the current market. Good luck!!!

[Jimimck]

Didn't someone pick one up here for $1150 earlier this year or last year? Thats the magic figure I have in my head for buying one no matter how poor it will make me...
I agree though, anything under $1500 would be a good buy.

**EDIT** Forgot to mention:

I have some spare coin sitting in my paypal account, about $150, and am wondering if anyone is keen to seel any of the following:
- Insonia Gift edition (am not expecting this to cost $150 )
- Green Mile Gift edition
- Talisman Gift edition
- COTW trade edition with The Collectors aftermarket slipcase
- Anything else that is super cool that may fit in that budget.

I live in New Zealand, and so I have to allow for shipping, so kinda hoping I won't have to add to much to that budget to cover shipping costs, if anything at all.

Anyway - let me know what you want to get rid of and lets see if I can increase my collection a bit more!

Cheers
James

theres a talisman at betts for $100
still in the shrinkwrap.

[Jimimck]

Thanks SGC - but that is the Talisman/Blackhouse edition I think. I should have mentioned I'm after the two volume Talisman deluxe edition (I think of this as a gift edition, but yeah, the gift edition is with Blackhouse ay?)

Cheers
James

The one that went for $1,150 was not "pristine or close to it." I don't recall the particulars but there was something weird about it.

[sgc1999]

i think the case was trashed and needed a complete restoration.

[TwistedNadine]

i think the case was trashed and needed a complete restoration.

Was that it? I seem to recall there was something weird about the sig or the sig page but might be confusing that with something else

[sgc1999]

oh snap i just remembered it actually didnt have any box at all. Just the book.

Yeah I think that was it.

Jimimck,

I think you might be thinking of mine. I bought it for $1100 in January last year. The seller didn't put a picture of the book in the listing. I asked some questions and after satisfying answers, I used Buy It Now. It was in great condition too.

I do remember the one divemaster is talking about though but can't remember the particulars.

Can one of my US friends get me a nice 'news stand' (i.e., no address label) copy of Harper's with the newest King short story? I can pay you when I get back home (in a week) - I don't want to use PayPal on my iPhone. Thanks!

[Niels]

Make that 2 copies

Was it difficult to get in the Netherlands?
I´ve seen them at airport or train station bookshops in my area but they were far too expensive.

[Niels]

I haven't seen one for sale, yet.
Made an inquiry at the American Book Center, but haven't received a reply.
