Hi,
I've got a mint copy of Rob Kuntz' Cairn of the Skeleton King that I want to sell. Anyone have thoughts on what it is worth? It is mint, still in the original wrap, unopened. It is the Jim Holloway Special Priemier Edition, First printing.

It does have two flaws. The back cover has two small creases/indentations (each about 2" long) from resting on something else in a pile.

Thanks!

Generally, the numbered editions sell for between $25 and $40 ish.
If it's one of the 26 certificated Runic Copies, that price rises. I've seen Runics go for $40 and as high as $100+, but it's all pot luck on the day.

This Might sound like a strange question, but what color is the signature in?
Anyway, I suspect an authors copy might sell for double or even triple the amount that a regular limited Signed copy would.

As stated above; The Runic copies can easily reach $100, as there were of course only 26 of those (Lettered A-Z) and they also came with a matching Authentication Letter from the author.

Sorry for the late response. I got kicked off of the server and re-registered as onlondore2.

The signature is in a metallic ink color; either gold, or some kind of bronze.

Thanks everyone. I'll try to put it up on ebay this week, with notices here and on DF. I'll plan to put it up Wed for a 10 sale, so that it ends on a Saturday night.

I also found the email Rob sent me when I bought it (9/2006), and I'll include a hard copy of that email with the auction. It authenticates the piece from Rob, to me, to this sale.

Bugger. I didn't read the description on that.

They're worth something, and we can track their sales in eBay, but the valuation of any semi-rare item only couple years old is going to be completely erratic.  I wouldn't expect these to settle much above $50, but it's far too early to tell.
