Yeah, I bet. Might have to sell my signed books to pay for those.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I agree completely with Rahfa.I usually try not to fault sellers for trying to get top dollar, but that price makes NO sense at all. The set can't be fully matched, and while DT IV is scarce, DT III certainly isn't.Seriously, that's price gouging at its worst. 747 is too scattered anyway, I know who has the LSoE #747s. Better off just getting what works for you and not worrying about trying to match off the bat. Plus you did great with the #520 set so that's a start.
If he paid $900, he should be very content to sell in the $1500 range. But...he might have his reasons, who knows.
It is price gouging, but in a buyer's market he's practically gouging himself - he has a motivated buyer, which probably will not happen a second time anytime soon.
Reminds me of an old saying: "Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered."
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Ok, once again forgive my denseness, but that is a joke, right?You will need a very deep wallet for all 6 in fine condition.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Good to see my #747's getting so much attention. I only sold them a few months ago, and my DT 3 & 4 I sold for under $900 together.
I'm with you. I'm assuming sarcasim? Or am I showing my ignornce too???Ok, once again forgive my denseness, but that is a joke, right?

According to Grant's site, they're sold out. You might enquire anyway. Maybe there's an extra laying around somewhere.

What is a good price for the Arkham house books TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE and NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS? In NF or better condition.
New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos F/F just a month or so ago was 36.50 from Abe (includes shipping). Compared to the other listings at the time I thought that was a pretty good price.
If that's a first printing, not ex-lib and no owner markings than that's a great buy! (New tales goes up-to 3rd printing)
I don't a copy myself (but am looking for one, too), but how can you tell what printing it is? Does it have a numberline or does it have some other distinction?
I sold my F/F 1st/1st of NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS for £14.99 last year.
NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS (1980) was selling for around $100 about 4-5 years ago. Like most of the collectible book market, prices have come way down. If I were selling today, I'd try to get at least $60 (and would probably fail). If I were buying, I'd try to get it for less than $35.
My copy is a First Edition and I was not aware of any subsequent printings. Unlike most Arkham House books, the edition point to look for is on the copyright page--the line "First Edition designed by Jason Van Hollander." If there are later printings I'm not sure how those are designated for this particular title. For other Arkham reprinted titles there is often a statement on the colophon page (at the end of the book) stating a second printing or third or whatever. My guess is, the way this book is designed, that it would not be designated like that but with some statement on the copyright page.
TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE is a common book easily obtained for $20 give or take.
I also didnt know there were subsequent printings. Mine states "First Edition Designed by Jason Van Hollander" with no number line. 11.95 on DJ. Copyright 1980
And no, not ex lib no markings fine dj with no chips creases etc
There definitely were later printings for New Tales of Cthulhu Mythos.
I ordered through a dealer back with it came out and it already had listed 'Third Printing designed by Jason Van Hollander'

Thanks for the feedback everybody. This confirms what I found when doing a cursory ABE check. I would have no problem paying $60-75 for NEW TALES and $20-30 for NIGHTSIDE in NF or better condition.

How much are they worth? I think I've got two sets of unread 1-6.
So still looking for some UK editions to finish up my UK 1st/1st collection. Here is a list of the easier/cheaper ones to find, going to worry about the expensive hard to find ones after i get the easy ones ! Someone has to have a few of these they can help me out with, have the money waiting. One of my Goals was to try and finish up my UK 1st/1st collection, so trying to knock a few more off the list !!
email me at rrdunaway@msn.com or PM me.
thanks
