This isn't an auction but I think it's pretty cool nonetheless. Wish I had an extra $25,000 lying around though:

In this case, yes, but I'd think of it more as an ARC. It's probably the only advance copy that the UK publisher, Hodder & Stoughton, is going to issue. It only contains four stories, plus the Introduction and the notes at the end for those four.

So how much did you bid, John?
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
I was/am seriously thinking about getting another one. I just haven't decided yet! I AM curious as to how much this one will go for. It doesn't have the accompanying letter, though.
John
a letter? and it's at about US$55 right now. . . .
i've got it on my "watch list" right now to see what happens. damn you people for getting me started on this whole arc and proof thing anyway!
hmmmm. bid now or wait??????? the eternal question. . . .
Another seller offered me one for £60. (I told him where to go). There are 2 on UK eBay right now which will go for high amounts. The price will half when the book is released.
i paid 40GBP for mine,shipping included.
Thanks. I wonder why it never shows up on my searches.
John
it doesn't show in mine because my searches specifically rule out anything overseas ( ::stupidturtle:: ). thanks for the listings - but i'm still thinking i'm going to hang out and see what happens.
there are other things i could spend that money on. like signed bag of bones or rose madder items (you listening hutch? )

Life is a garden...dig it!
"DEAD MACHINES is the duo of JOHN OLSON (WOLF EYES, American Tapes, a million other bands) and TOVA OLSON (ex WOODEN WAND AND THE VANISHING VOICE, also a million other bands). Together--with the use of handmade instruments and electronics, tape manipulation, sax, gong, and loud volume--deliver music by insaniacs for insaniacs."
i dont understand what the relation to king, even with the description on the auction...

I strongly suspect it's some garage band recording inspired by King's stories.

just for curiosity's sake i sent the seller a question asking if s/he could tell me precisely what the auction had to do with sai king's Night Shift. this is the response:
no i cannot. i didnt buy it from the artist so i don't know what it has to do with the book beyond the title. if i had to GUESS i would say its their own music inspired by king but who knows?
so, a cookie and bad garage music to bev!
how about this one?
