Hi everyone! New to the boards here.
I am looking for a DTII under 800 and/or a Wind Through the Keyhole under 800.
I was thinking a trade/PayPal gift including everything below. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post a bunch of pics! If anyone is interested in individual books that might be okay, too. Basically these are the parts of my collection that I have since upgraded from slightly, and I've been DYING to get a DT II and/or Keyhole for a while now!

1) SOLD Two first edition copies of Salem's Lot - both stated with Q37 in third state (Callahan), price-clipped jackets (the second of the two actually still has a small remnant of a dollar sign poking out) - Fantastic condition on both

2) Stand first stated with T39 in a price-clipped jacket. - Again, fantastic condition.

3) A very nice copy of The Long Walk 1st/1st

4) Joyland hardcover (not signed but limited to 1500 copies) - I believe still shrink-wrapped

5) SOLD Gunslinger first edition Dust Jacket in very nice shape - I'll roll it in a tube for you

6) Under The Dome Gift Edition - Still shrinkwrapped


SECOND EDIT - Hi everyone! I have three last books to trade/etc. - they're on the last page of this post: A Father Cody's Salem's Lot, Carrie 1st, and a Stand 1st. Thanks all!

I'd be interested in seeing pics of your Gunslinger 1E dust jacket. I'm looking to upgrade my own copy. Have you considered a price for it yet?

Hi! I'll take some photos of it. What is the best way to get them up here? Should I just use the attachment feature here in the forums? I don't use a photo site of any kind yet. The DJ for Gunslinger isn't mint, but there's no writing or folding, no big chunks or anything too bad. Really just some rubbing at the ends.

Hi all,

I've gotten a few requests for photos of the Gunslinger jacket, so here we are. Please let me know if it's too many or too few. In my opinion, with some rubbing to the ends here and there, this is a generally pretty good jacket. I wouldn't hazard a specific grade - I leave those to the experts.

Please note that I left the jacket on its current book to give you the best idea how it will present, but I'm not selling the book itself! :)

What the heck is that big circular mark on the cover of the jacket? Is it just an illusion from the camera or is that some sort of a burn/indentation? Have you thought about what you'd like to sell it for?

Hi! Just a reflection! It's weird - I've seen a lot of these jackets and for some reason they all tend to produce that kind of glare. The front of the jacket looks great as does the back. I would have posted more pics but the limit in my first post was three. I think $150 is a good price for it - if you have a first Gunslinger, this jacket should make it look very, very nice.

I'm happy to make a nice bundle if you'd like the jacket plus a Salem's Lot - those are only $350 each. Same is true for The Stand or the other books (heavily discounted if you'd like more than one item).

I'll certainly be in touch regarding the dust jacket. Thanks for the clarification on what that large "blemish" really is. Bummer avoided.

Hi! You're very welcome! Feel free to PM whenever you'd like!


And everyone else: I've gotten quite a few PMs for individual items, so I've decided to sell them piecemeal. If you want a Salem's Lot or Stand, just PM for prices and pics. I'll happily throw in the Dome or Joyland or Long Walk for an extra $50!

Hi everyone! Just a little bump here:

Salem's Lot Q37 firsts with Callahan and price-clipped jackets (but trade - not BOMCs) in fantastic shape are $300 each. I have two copies. Great placeholders if you're holding out for a Cody (I was!!)
The Stand T39 first - price-clipped in otherwise outstanding condition is $300.
The Gunslinger 1st Edition great condition dust jacket is $125.
Joyland hardcover ltd (unsigned) is $75.
Under The Dome Collector's edition is $65 (shrinkwrapped).
Long Walk is $50.

Reasonable offers are certainly considered (price and/or bundle), and I'm happy to post pics (or send them PM) of any book. All prices don't include shipping, but it usually costs about $4 - $6.00 a book domestic.

Thanks all!
