    While I was shopping the sale, I had McCammon's Stinger in my cart but by the time I got to the checkout, it was gone. Anyone here like to fess up?

    I also noticed that lots of the Lansdale books I'd been eyeing off were no longer for sale and I was sure that Jeffingoff had beaten me to them - I know he's been buying up on the Lansdales. But then I saw that he resisted, so I should apologise for the awful things I said about you Jeff.
    I am sure the awful things you said about Jeffingoff still apply, just not for the original intent.

    That's how you know he had actually won the Lottery - I don't think any of us regular Joes can afford an unsigned Joe Hill book.

    Hahahaha no offense taken! For sure I was looking through all the Lansdales and pumping the brakes. After padding my CD account with a healthy amount of funds, I had to kind of pretend I didn't see anything.

    I picked up several King titles that I was missing from my collection. Love dealing with Kim and Tony.
