Charlie The Choo Choo Sales

[cit74]

There was a seller on eBay selling 6 copies of the UK limited edition for GBP 49.99 - someone bought all 6

Best to get them now on the speculation - either it'll be a boom or a bust

I can't share complete details of what I've been told, but here's what I can share about this "UK" stickered edition of CHARLIE THE CHOO CHOO:

"Both were both printed at the same bindery in the US. There were 6,500 copies impacted by this issue out of the 49,600 printed so far."

Best,
Brian

Wow! Sounds like some returns may be in order to Dave.

I'll be headed down to my local bookstore today who got a new shipment in on Monday to check their stock for this "rarity".

I'd still like to snag a copy if I can. I checked the book store close to my work and grabbed the regular US 1st, maybe I'll try the one closer to my house, but... malls at Christmas. I dread the thought.

Per Ms. Mod: "Charlie the Choo Choo was signed by a representative of HodderChildren’s Books on behalf of Beryl Evans.​"

This is just ridiculous!

I'm not sure if my two malls here even have bookstores in 'em. I'm not a mall guy so rarely step foot into 'em. I've already got several quests for the book, Dan but I'll pick one up for ya today if they have any/enough copies.

Yea, we kinda had to see that coming with the price and all.

Bet all you who missed out are kicking yourselves now! I have a Hodder representative's signature, and you don't!

Still a nice production from what I've heard/seen here. My go to UK guy picked me one up so I'll be happy to own the Rep's sig soon

Ugh. So much for hoping. Still, a nice looking edition, I guess.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Don't know if it was signed by a lacky at Hodder or Waterstones. At least it only cost £20.

Now we know it was a lacky at Hodder.

It would have been great if it'd been someone famous, but I expected little, and at the price I am happy to just have a nice edition of the book. I really couldn't care less.

Me either. Whereas the guy that just bought 6 copies at 49.99..........

[becca69]

Just weird. Currently I have an extra and it was approximately $35 shipped from UK... If anyone wants one, let me know. It would be another $4 media mail.

[webstar1000]

So funny... I want a copy though. As comical as it is. haha

I suppose we all saw this coming, LOL. Not really surprising but I think it was the curiosity and the possibilities that got us all wound up.
Per your other post I totally agree, it's a nice edition to have and we got it on the cheap so eh, it's all good.
The employees signature is pretty!

Aah well....

Here I sit.
Broken hearted.
Spent a penny
And only farted.

Here others sit feeling they were smart. Hoarded nominally valued books (UK signed AND anomaly) now broken hearted.
Spent a fortune to obtain it
Now the books aren't worth shit.

[shaq]

Lol. I thought mine was more eloquently put.

I have 2. Think it is fab as part of the dt world.

Happy to donate one for haven fund draw 17 if you want it?

I was a bit crass, but people should have carefully read the thread and they would have known.
Not only from my posts, but primarily things mentioned by others.

[Randall Flagg]

Btw, at around 6,500, the anomaly Choo Choo is still desirable, in fact I want one.
I just don't believe they are worth the $100 plus people are charging.
Great for the seller, not so great for the buyer that paid a silly price.

The one and only version worth anything is the SDCC book.

[richardsrarebooks]

Received my copy today (#164). While hoping for a "special" signature am happy with what I received. Happy holidays to all!

WRONG! Signed by both KING & DAMERON.
