Presto-digitation Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Gene Simmons has lost his already greedy f@cking mind. The new Kiss book is $3,500. Yeah, you read that right. Their last hard cover coffee table book (which I love) was $150. I thought I'd lost my screw buying that. (With inflation that book would be about $230 now). Talk about losing the plot. Holy shit. I can't stop laughing at this... What's worse is that some fans will actually buy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the book actually comes with Ace Frehely himself...as Gene owns the rights to both Ace and Peter. And still not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 When it comes to KISS I only buy albums and t-shirts... Though I used to know a kid who had (almost) EVERYTHING (that was available at that time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I buy the albums and official vids and interesting books. They could reveal the secrets of the universe in that thing and I'm not interested. Beyond that, where would you put it? It's not a coffee table book, it's a coffee table itself. (I guess I answered my own question). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 From the main forum page, it looks like a steal... it says "New KISS book costs $3" Which is still $2.50 more than I would pay for a KISS book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm still waiting for Gene Simmons to admit he made a typo error and that the actual price is $350.......... ...for 10 payments of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The funny things is that people will buy it. I remember seeing Neil's signed edition of "Far and Away" selling for 5, 6 and $700 on Ebay. It's all what people are willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaldad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I saw photos online last week and i thought to myself , That's gotta be about $1,000 . I guess i was off a tad Gene will sell it as they only printed 1000 and they are numbered and autographed . Gee wiz , it will sell out to the same assholes that went on the Kiss Kruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
