If they're worth a lot now, they'll be worth more later. Which "a lot" is enough? Absolutely. If they’re worth a lot now, they’ll be worth more later. Which “a lot” is enough?

If you don't want them, get them out. There's no point in holding onto them, hoping one day they'll be worth such a fortune that you can sell them and buy a yacht with the proceeds. People who do that wind up never selling them anyway. I think that’s a great idea, Bev. If you don’t want them, get them out.

The journalist picked a few items to bid on. One of them was an Easton Press edition of The Dead Zone that I happened to be bidding on, too. He writes in his article how he figured he wasn't going to win that one! So, my monicker appeared in print! A few years ago, Money magazine did an article on eBay.

I have to admit that I had an ulterior motive: I wanted to buy new books with my store credit. Hee.

If bidding doesn't go up to where the book is worth, I may rethink that option, but there may be some deals to be had!

I won't buy the leather edition of <i>Transgressions</i>, even if it is signed, because it doesn't contain anything to distinguish it from the trade edition besides a signature. If I'd known the future, I would have purchased a trade of the Centipede Press <i>Salem's Lot</i> because I was mostly interested in the "deleted scenes."

My passion ran to collecting DVDs and I quickly hit about 200 movies in the space of a couple of years. I have put the brakes on making purchases and have done some sell offs. Going forward I will try to hang onto those that have replay value. The others will go. My book collection is smaller and largely paperbacks which are not really worth much resale wise. New purchases will be limited to books not available in my local area or really special items like Rocky Wood's unpublished King writings. I hear you Bev.

But auctioning it good too. Gezz, Bev I would love to get first crack at what you would be willing to sell. But auctioning it good too.
