con_or_bust is an LJ community devoted to helping fans of color/non-white fans get to Wiscon.
accessiblehouse is an LJ community devoted to helping
jbru and his partner keep their house, which has been extensively renovated in order to accommodate his partner's disabilities. Both communities are running auctions with many nifty items available, and
I have a question: if I were to put up for auction two complete signed sets--one in each auction--of the hardbacks of the Doctrine of Labyrinths (Mélusine, The Virtu, The Mirador, and Corambis), would people bid? (With the caveat that the sets won't be sent out until the publisher sends me my author's copies of Corambis: the one I got on Monday has to stay with me as my reference copy.)
Again, as with the ARC auctions I just did, I'm not asking for promises. I just want to know if there's enough interest to make it worthwhile.--oh wotthehell, as mehitabel the cat says. I have posted auction items to both
con_or_bust and
accessiblehouse.
- The Doctrine of Labyrinths, signed hardback set, here and here.
- The Bone Key, signed trade paperback, here and here.
Given the rather startling value of a complete set of the Doctrine of Labyrinths (4 books at $24.95 each, and two of them out of print in hardback), I didn't feel right setting the starting bid lower than $50, but
The Bone Key starts at $15.
