First Editions....

[liseylandon]

Just made a big score at an antique store here in town and bought 9 hardcover SK books for $25. I have recently decided to buy all SK books that I can in hardcover to make a nicer library.

I got on here and found out that all but 2 are First Edition copies. Any idea of how good a deal I got? What do these usually go for a piece on Ebay or something?

I am just so excited about my find, I couldnt care less about whether or not they were First Editions but the DH wanted me to look it up so I did. Now it just has me wondering....

Not that I would sell them....they are mine now!

We would probably need a list of what books you scored. Sounds like a great deal no matter what though.

I got several of my SK books for very good prices too. It took me about 10 years to collect them all, somewhere in there. All in hardcover and every book from Cujo to the present is a first edition.

I had mentioned this before in another thread but I have a picture of them in my profile if you want to check it out. The picture was taken at an angle, and although you can't see it, Carrie is hiding back there on the top shelf all the way to the left.

Definitely a good score! To get the value of them though, we would need a list of what you got.
I'm doing the same thing with getting hardcovers. I'm almost done.

Good find! i personally love paperbacks - have all of them in either new covers or the old Nel editions and no spines are bent although recently i have been looking for hardcovers..... just the postage prices are so high!!

The books that I got are: Carrie, Delores Claiborne, Needful Things, IT, Christine, Firestarter and Misery. The 2 that I got that I dont think are First Editions are Pet Semetary and Cell.

Going to head back to the antique store today to see what I can find!

If you are excited and they enhance your collection, then they are good deal. Way to go.

If you landed a FE Carrie, you have DEFINITELY scored! They are going for well over $1,000.

If the Firestarter is truly a first edition first printing, in itself, in very good condition, it's worth about $50.
