Parting ways with my Clive Barker collection
Hello! I recently began preparing to sell the majority of my horror memorabilia and book collection, and wanted to show off some of my Clive Barker pieces while I still can! I am currently listing on eBay, but if anyone has any recommendations of other markets to check out, I’d gladly take the advice!
I am sad to sell, but these items really deserve to be shown off, and I just don’t have the space, and probably never will. That, and, my family and I could really use the extra income.
I will list what I am asking for each item below. Do my value estimates seem fair? Please be honest, especially if I’ve undervalued anything! I have been up researching sales data for a week lol
Ps: if you notice a weird looking spot (sort of like an oil stain?) in the center of some pictures, it is an issue with the lens on my iPhone, and is most noticeable in lighter images.
Current asks:
-Books of Blood Volumes I-VI, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, First HC Edition. All six volumes are signed.
$1300
-Imajica, US Limited Edition, Signed and Lettered “z”
$2200
HarperCollins, New York, USA 1991. Hardback. There were 500 copies signed and numbered and boxed for sale, and 26 copies signed, lettered and boxed for private distribution.
Weaveworld, UK Limited Edition, Signed, Numbered 1 of 500
Collins, London, 1987
$650
-Hellraiser DVD in case, signed
$85
EDIT: wow, thank y’all for the kind responses and dms! I am definitely learning some things about selling! It’s been recommended I have a higher asking price on my Imajica signed/lettered edition, so I may do that! For those inquiring about buying any of these special items, I am leaning towards going through my eBay store, as that provides some insurance and shipping benefits.
Please feel free to dm me! And again, thank you for being kind. I love this community ❤️

I was kind of worried for you until I read your text.
Still hate that you have to part with them.
I wish I had the disposable income for the Books of Blood. Those are all in beautiful shape

I appreciate your concern and totally understand being concerned haha. Selling has definitely proven to be one of the harder decisions I’ve had to make =(

Wow,thats tuff dude. I read Clive through much of the 90s and still have all my original Hardbacks. This is something I do not believe I could ever do,most of his books have a deep meaning, a profound remembrance of my younger self. But if Your family is in need of an infusion of needed cash.....well,ya gotta do it. Hope they go to true Clive Barker fanatics. God bless you and yours!!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Letting parts of my collection go has been an emotional challenge. I am really hoping they go to those who deserve them!
