I chose to buy it when I did and don't regret it. I was supporting the bookseller who brought them to SDCC more than anything since I already had the ARC. Can't say I've ever seen a hardcover for less than the Kindle version but it's not as if I didn't know that the book would be deeply discounted at some point.
Congrats on the bargain, Kraig! Hope you enjoy it.
ETA: I tweeted the info to JMS and he retweeted it. Also posted it to the Facebook JMSnews page. So I'm sorry you were annoyed, Looney, but you've probably done a nice thing for a bunch of other fans.It just really annoys me when I pre-order something and then the merchant drops the price soon after the release. I remember years ago I pre-ordered some expensive Blu-Ray from a company. It was released on Tuesday and by the following Monday they were offering it twenty dollars cheaper than the pre-order price I paid. Less than a week and I get shafted for pre-ordering. Of course the book has been out longer than a week, but it hasn't been that long. This is a price drop I would expect to see around Black Friday or closer to Christmas.

Looks like JMS's appearance at the Cartoon Art Museum has now been rescheduled for Nov. 16, from 6:30 - 9: 00 PM

Hmmmm.... I wonder who thinks they command $15,000.00. I can't believe anyone from B5 gets that much except maybe JMS. At least not anymore.

If that were all it took I think you would have done it by now. LOL On a serious note, how does one learn how much "appearance fees" are? I assume you contact their agent. And how does one learn who people's agents are? LOL(These are actually serious questions that don't specifically involve JMS. I've been involved with events in the past that I've thought about this issue.)

I imagine first class airfare and meals and an appearance fee would be all it takes (NOTE: I have NO idea what JMS' requirements for appearing would be, lest anybody think I'd be speaking for him...) It would be convenient - you'd be the one to post all the news and upcoming things instead of me!(These are actually serious questions that don't specifically involve JMS.

(And just because it started here, I saw yesterday that the "Special Rep" I spoke to also lied and did not put in a request for a refund on my original order so this time I used the CHAT option and was given a full refund on the second order instead. Thus ends the story, though the CHAT person did try to get me to purchase it AGAIN and guaranteed I would get it undamaged. I said absolutely not.)

Looks like we're going into 2020 already! Hmmm...I'm beginning to think that JMS likes San Diego!

Originally posted by Jan View PostNo, they don't ALLOW their CSR to lie. They give the CSR approved scripts. They're not allowed to deviate. Which is why trying to get the rep in trouble is out of line. Feel free to keep asking for supervisors until you get somebody who might be able to help but otherwise understand that it's in no way the fault of the CSR or somebody trying to 'get you'. Whether it's how the world *should* work or not, that's the unfortunate reality.
