Stephen King books

[york1313]

I could use some help. I've been furloughed and I'm trying to make a few bucks if possible. I've got tons of Stephen King books from the Stephen King Library. Most are hard back and in almost perfect condition (since I have not read them.......) Does anyone know if there is a market for something like this? If so, how do I try to sell them? Thanks for any help.

Sorry you're having to liquidate them. My suspicion is that there's not much of a market given the number that were sold originally. You might check Amazon to get an idea on individual pricing.

I appreciate the feedback. I’ll check it out. Maybe eBay too.

I have tried selling off my books and it's frankly not worth my time. It's a couple bucks a pop in profit. You might be able to bundle a bunch and get 30 bucks all at once.

This is obvious commentary, but if you have 1st editions of any of his earliest stuff, pre-1980, those are very valuable. Also, first editions of the Richard Bachman novels and the Dark Tower set.

I have the entire Dark Tower series. I believe three of them are first edition. I have everything he’s written except for his most recent 5-10.

If you're going to be in Vegas, see if you can get on Pawn Stars and have Rebecca do an appraisal.

Here's a guide to identifying all first editions/first prints up through The Outsider: https://stephenking.com/other/identifying_first_editions.pdf

I actually saw that guide yesterday. Pretty informative stuff. I just don’t know a whole lot about first edition versus second edition etc. Thanks for sharing it.
