Wow! Great find! I agree with you… the person probably just got the S/L a week or so ago. Pretty quick to sell it to a used bookstore.Originally Posted by F1racefan
I went to 1/2 price books and I picked up a S/L Doctor sleep #8 for $225 (1/2 price) and also a Gift edition for $47I can't believe someone turned these in already and I was thinking how much of a loss the owner took!! Also I would have expected it to be priced a lot closer to market price.
Hey not complaining I was just shocked!
I can't speak to motivation, but #8 is an old-time lifer who probably just trades all of the books in these days for whatever cash/credit they'll give him. He probably has no idea what the value is.Wow! Great find! I agree with you… the person probably just got the S/L a week or so ago.

I hadn't thought of that. If he has a lifetime membership he may just turn in everything he gets for the money. He would get a lot more if he or she sold then on Ebay.I can't speak to motivation, but #8 is an old-time lifer who probably just trades all of the books in these days for whatever cash/credit they'll give him.

I was just lucky enough to be there when they came in.
Now you know where to watch for future titles! Who knows, you might get lucky again down the road.I hadn't thought of that.

Or, since he must live in your area, make contact with him and see if he's willing to sell to you.

I could pay him a lot more than the book store and still get a great deal.
I will see if I can figure out how to get his name.
PS publishing just announced 20 (make that 19) copies of the CD Dr Sleep limited edition available -first come, first served...
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I'm not seeing it. Where was it announced? Link?

Is that the signed edition? The newsletter says it is the slipcased edition, which would be the unsigned edition since the signed edition is traycased.
Also, my gut says that the price seems to good to be the signed edition.
Thoughts?

OK. Thanks. I found that link but thought you were talking about a stash of the signed/numbered edition.
That's the gift edition.
Thanks for the confirmation, guys.

Make that 18.
I'm not sure I'm going to wait for PS, the next time. With 82.99GBP ($125) It's only a bit cheaper than directly from CD ($95 + $50 shipping).
(And not being frustrated.)

No apologies needed. I think I just jumped to the wrong conclusion.Sorry guys, didn't mean to cause panic! If it has been the S/L I would have said...
