METV FAN COLLECTION — GET SUCKED INTO THESE 'DARK SHADOWS' PAPERBACK BOOKS
KATHLEEN MCDONALD STARTED COLLECTING 'DARK SHADOWS' BOOKS IN 1966. (https://www.metv.com/stories/show-metv-your-collections-dark-shadows-paperback-books)
Who knew Amazon would be asking $199 for The Demon of Barnabas Collins?!

I wish I could get decent money for mine. "Valued at" is not "sold at" or "bought for".

The books she's missing should not be very expensive at all, if she shops around a bit. Pricing Demon at almost $200 is insane. You can get it on EBay for under ten. That's including the shipping.

That is an insane price these days - though it wasn't 20 odd years ago. Unfortunately I don't remember who published it, but back then there was a flyer that circulated around fandom that listed items fans put up for sale and some of the prices for the novels and other items were just as outrageous, and people actually paid them. Back then novels also sold for outrageous prices on eBay. Though thankfully for fans who are looking to complete their collections these days, things are a lot more sane...
