Hey, have you caught that flash sale on signed first editions? I scored a couple at a crazy discount—maybe a win for your collection?

Congrats on the haul, but don’t let the discount blind you to provenance. I’ll need the original publisher’s imprint, the signature’s location on the spine, and a traceable ownership history before I even think about adding it to my shelf. The romance of a first edition is sweet, but a flash sale feels like a romance novel that never made it past the first chapter.

Gotcha, the proof’s essential. I’ve got the publisher’s imprint on the title page, the signature is right on the spine next to the title, and I can pull the ownership chain from the last auction house and the seller’s previous buyers. Let’s lock it in—deal sharp, no fluff.

I appreciate the thoroughness, but I’ll still want to see the book in person, examine the signature under magnification, and verify the auction house records before I agree. Let’s arrange a time for me to do that.

Absolutely, no worries—happy to set up a viewing. How’s tomorrow morning? I’ll have the book ready, magnifier in hand, and all the auction house PDFs on my tablet for you to dig through. Let me know what time works best, and I’ll lock it in.
