Not here, except Owen KingOlder (Pre Pet Sematery) books are less common, but they pop up occasionally. Anything after Pet Sematery are easy to find, and the most I've seen them for is $6 (for the newest books. More often, they're less than $3).
Let me know if you find one. I have an extra hardcover BCE of Different Seasons I could send to you (along with a copy of Horns).
The trade edition of W&G is a large paperback, right? I might have that one - need to check. What condition would you say your Bachman Books BCE is in? I know I don't have hardcovers of The Drawing of the Three and W&G. Most of the hardcovers I need are older titles (surprise, surprise!
).
That's happened to me more than a few times!
I'm curious what you think of Arcadia. That one is a poser for me--I loved probably the first 3/4, and then it crashed in the last bit. If I was to rate it, it would get a 3 (4.5 for the first 3/4 and 1.5 for the last quarter).
De nada
I'm always happy to see my extras go to a good home. I just thought it was pretty and elegant, and I like pins. Once I got it home, I noticed that it had an original tag still attached, so I googled the maker and the style for ****zngigz. I guess I have a better eye than I thought (or I'm fortunate--lol)
Awesome find! I love brooches and pins as well. Good eye indeed!Not a book, but I was tickled to find that a brooch/pin I bought at Savers for $1.99 today is worth a bit more. One just like it sold on eBay for $65 today
...and left a beautiful corpse
I used to like that show quite a bit. My favorite one was the older gentleman who had an original Navajo blanket, before they worked in colors (it was black and off-white). The value was in the millions; he broke into tears when he heard that, and I'd bet most of the audience cried right along with him (I know I got teary!).
I remember seeing a lady on Antiques Roadshow who brought in an old dresser that had been in her family for a few generations- other that that she knew nothing about it. AR valued it at $250,000-300,000. She was dumbfounded to say the least. A couple of months later I was channel surfing and just happened to come across an auction at Sotheby's and the woman had brought her dresser to the auction. There she sat with her family gathered around her in the seats as the bids started. The bidding reached $300,000 and kept going and going and going all the way up to $500,000!!! She couldn't even talk........and left a beautiful corpse
Isn't that something? I would have been bawling. Because yes, I'm a weenie. I get totally choked up when good fortune comes to people who don't expect anything.
). Also bought hardcovers of an early printing of The World According to Garp, The Skin Collector by Jeffrey Deaver (one of the few novels of his I haven't read) and an early printing of Rising Sun by Michael Crichton that I'd never heard of before. So, better than nothing, but I'm always looking for a King treasure. Saw two paperbacks of Rage by other authors and my heart almost stopped both times!
I just bought it!!!! PSYCHE!!!!!!!!This is the Holy Grail of used books ala Stephen King.
Salem's Lot - AbeBooks
I hope you are sitting when you see how much this edition is selling for.
