Later

[HumphreyBear]

I also got a numbered copy, which will be my first SK signed (My Collectorz Book Connect database shows 115 SK titles)
I had to get up at 3:00 am but it was worth it. I saw no activity on the HCC site, so in a panic, I found the twitter post which linked straight to Forbidden Planet UK. To my disbelief, I was able to buy one immediately. I also bought an unsigned copy which is probably my first ever speculative purchase of a book. It might become hard to get down the track, and might be useful for trading. Or, I'll just keep it.

That's my thought too. $700 seems like a bargain based on the numbers.

[slayn666]

That will settle down as well.

Maybe. The numbered edition of Joyland still goes for $400+, with the most recent copy having sold for over $700, and it has a limitation just a hair under 2x that of Later. Factor in how many fewer books King is signing nowadays, and this is very likely to hold significant value.

Picking up some King here and there but not actively seeking it out.

I don't really go out of my way for King, but I couldn't pass up getting something signed by him for 20% of the going rate for his signature. This will actually be my first book signed by him.

[TacomaDiver]

That will settle down as well.

Shush. I'm going to sell my copy for $1,000 at the same time I sell my Misery for $10,000. At the rate these are going up in price, that might be on Friday . . .

Take care of yourself and your family. Everything else is trivial!

Everything else certainly is! But yeah, we're keeping a close eye on everybody's health. Fingers are crossed that everything just stays mild.

Didn't have any luck on my end. Then again, it hasn't really been a week of good luck here. Got a positive COVID case in the household on Sunday, so we've been quarantining ever since (nothing but mild symptoms, thankfully).

All things considered, missing out on a signed Stephen King book is a pretty low concern for the week!

Well that did not take long. A signed Limited went up on eBay for $700 and quickly sold.

That will settle down as well.

[Brian861]

Has we get farther and farther away from this, I'll probably lose interest as I've become more of Hill collector. Picking up some King here and there but not actively seeking it out. I did order two copies of the trade and have the pb on order as well.

[joejets]

I waited for the links and got shut out of ordering a limited, too.

[CyberGhostface]

I could have gotten a copy of the numbered if the site had accepted my credit card.

[khaos]

I grabbed one. When the titan page seemed to hang I was glad I had dug into finding the US sellers page. Refreshed that and ordered shortly after the selling open time. Some of the people in the SK collector FB group seemed to think I was odd for wanting that link the other day. Very glad I spent that time.

I really hadn't time to look into possibly ordering Later. I didn't realize it would be available for order/preorder so soon. ~Cap
