The Shining: The Deluxe Special Edition by Stephen King

[Brian861]

Yeah, I get it. And I'm buying for my personal collection and not a financial investment. I don't plan on parting with my books in my lifetime. My kids will probably sell them to buy their kids whatever passes for an iPhone in the future. Depressing, but not my concern. I just see that eBay sale as a (momentary) signal on the social regard for an outstanding book. It's a bummer to see that particular edition get tossed to the eBay crowd for so little.

Anyway, on to more exciting things--like the shower of limiteds expected this fall!

Yep. I do the same as far as my personal collection. I just collect what I like to. And it gives me more reason to keep purchasing slipcases

Great. Now I have an image of people showering with their limiteds. So, yeah. Thanks for that!

And that's a great advantage on the aftermarket for those of us that are. But eBay in general, as Keith stated, is usually about right place/right time for both the seller and the buyer.

For these things to sell there have to be people looking for them. Unfortunately it's actually probably too close to when we released these for them to go for higher prices.

edit: Also remarques have a surprisingly limited audience. A lot of collectors don't like them, or just aren't interested in them.

An artist edition of The Shining with a Don Maitz remarque sold for $274.99 on eBay. And nothing makes sense to me anymore.

Someone got a smoking good price! And from a good seller, too.

I believe I've said it before, but I feel that eBay is a horrible barometer for the market. It is hardly ever about what something is "worth" or establishing a median price for what the market would bear, but more "out of the people who see this auction in the time frame offered, how many are willing or able to make the purchase". I've seen auctions for the same item, same condition go for wildly different prices and end less than a week apart.

Thanks, guys. Happy with what I got.

And Paul: that's an AWESOME remarque!!!
One of the best I've seen for the Shining editions.

Like you, I definitely did not like Glenn's Carrie remarque for my Carrie AE. It was the absolute worst I had seen. His remarque for my 'Salem's Lot was much better, but still not up there with the best (of course, that's a purely personal observation.) So I did go ahead and ordered a remarque for my Shining AE.
I really like yours! It's very similar to my own and I'd love to see more. I'll post both of my remarques.

Those are great.

Love both remarques. Congrats Siep!

Yea. Photobucket is trying to squeeze money out of people. Feel free to upload them directly to the forums though.

I might do that bit by bit.

Very nice Siep, thanks for sharing!

I like those, Siep!

I received my copy of the AE edition of The Shining today. Hats off to CD for producing a beautiful copy of this book. I keep thinking that the new one can't top the one before, but I keep getting proved wrong!

There a ton of pictures of this edition out there so I decided to only post a picture of my Chadbourne remarque. I was hesitant at first as I wasn't in love with my remarque for Carrie, but I really like the remarque he did in this one!

Can you hear that? It's the death toll of my collection thread.
