Fair price on a signed 1st/1st Pet Semetary? Very clean copy

Any thoughts on the current value of the Insomnia S/L by Zeising?
The Collector states $325-$450, but that’s quite a range...
350-375
Sorry that I missed this conversation a month ago. A red Roman numeral SL is a rare breed. I owned both I and IV. When I used David as an intermediary to facilitate the books and money in exchange for IV, I valued the transaction at a minimum of $12.5K. Over the years I updated the value to be a minimum of $20K. It is significantly more rare than the lettered Firestarter and that goes for $15-20K itself. It's rarer than almost every King collectible so you certainly have a gem. If things go well with me over the next 6 months, I might be knocking on your door asking what you need to part with VIII, lol! Congratulations on having such a superb book!

What would a good asking price be for the Philtrum Press S/L The Eyes of the Dragon? I cannot find any records of recent eBay sales and the Collector's range is once again quite wide.
Thanks!
I'd say $950-$1K for a perfect copy; but this book lends itself to be easily damaged/nicked/marred. Thus defects quickly reduce the price. The common ones seen with minor cosmetic damage are ~$750-$850.
Here is one.. One For the Road... how much are they worth? 1/100 done?
Really? Now I know I'm getting old and addle brained. I could swear there was only the OCP and the LRB editions. Sucks getting old, man. lol
Edit: Okay, slowly coming back to me because, :catalogfriend:
OCP had a bunch of these for distribution (BTW I have a numbered edition) I remember now because the 1st copy I got was damaged and I returned it to, Dave for an undamaged copy. But I could have sworn that LRB also did a version of this edition. However, I think I confused that with their "Riding the Bullet"?
Anyway, if memory serves (a BIG If) didn't these go for in the neighborhood of $125? and I believe you are correct, Kris the edition size was only 100 AE signed by James Hannah

Thanks in Advance,

I am going to bump up the Carrie since I bought for about 900 from Lot Guy 4 years ago. Also paid 700 for the night shift from David 4 years ago.
I might drop the Stand a little because there was lots of foxing on it.
All the others are considerably more then I paid, so I will go with those numbers
Thanks everyone. 05-16-2019 07:44 PMLot guy 05-16-2019 07:51 PMzeligMike, I may have missed it but were any of the stolen 1/1’s signed?
