And with King's popularity, you'd think there would have to be millions of people out there who would give anything to have a shot at buyng a King limited, but they don't. I said this somewhere on this forum...but I had my copy of Insomnia up for sale with a starting price of $299 I think it was, and had about 8 or 10 "watchers" waiting to bid at the last second. One guy kept communicating about it with me and said he knows he will get it because he put in a huge bid to be placed by one of those "auction sniper" sites in the last 5 seconds. He kept talking about how incredibly rare it was to actually see a King limited in a sigle digit (# 9) and he has only been able to get a hold of two over the past 15 years, yada, yada. He actually talked me out of selling it lol. I ended the listing before someone could bid on it. He emailed me and said I guess that will teach me to keep my big mouth shut. I felt bad for the guy but it's the only single digit one I have, so I ended it.
Also, does anyone here have this copy as a limited edition (Insomnia)? I noticed not long after I received it, one of the corners sorta "peeled" off, exposing the gray underneath the red leather. It's incredibly tiny but if you're picky like me, you'd see it. That's why when I found out CD's edition of IT is being bound in real leather, I got a lil worried. This shouldn't really be considered a flaw, should it? Afterall, real leather does that sorta thing, correct? It cracks and peels. I still consider it in mint condition as I've never read any of my limited editions by King, just read the ones I've been receiving from The Stephen King Library since 1992 (?) or so. What do you guys think?
