Most expensive Goosebumps Books 2023 (outdated)

Here's a update or "Reboot" of a video that does pretty well on my channel. If you are just getting started or have decided this will be your self project this year here's a guide to what Goosebumps are hard to find and how expensive they will be.

[@astoldbybrandi]

love love love your channel! i’m in the process of trying to collect all the goosebumps classic books!

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Thank you! That's quite the challenge buy it's super rewarding once you achieve it! Are you going after the give yourself & 2000's series as well?

[@havok2111]

These were definitely not the Goosebumps I remember reading as a kid. One Day at Horrorland was the only one I recognized and remember reading out of all of these. The books I had when I was kid were The Haunted Mask, Say Cheese and Die, Stay Out of My Basement, A Night In Terror Tower, The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, Horror at Camp Jellyjam, Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes and The Werewolf of Fever Swamp.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Crazy how many Goosebumps there are now.

[@canadasbiggestgoosebumpsfa888]

awesome content, thanks for the plug ,,,,and yes you are the reason / how i completed my full run . Now im in the rabbit hole of all "first prints" i think im down to 11 that still need to get "first printed " thanks DD

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Not a problem! Oh man I've considered going down thet rabbit hole before. It's a dangerous one. Super cool to hear your close to finishing your set though!

[@canadasbiggestgoosebumpsfa888]

Interesting. I was unaware of the print run / edition until you ironically enough But not until I completed the full run. Is when I’ve been doing the upgrading Yeah down to the final 11. Most are in the first few editions

[@CadenceMcKay]

When I was younger, my step-dad took me to a flea market and I collected goosebumps books at the time. I was like 15. Well we went there and one of the buildings had a booth with goosebumps books, and I don't mean just a few, there were over 300 of them. I know there are not that many books, but with the duplicate books being sold with the single books, they were selling over 300 books in total. All were I pristine shape. Several of them in this video were there, and some even more valuable ones. One was even signed by Stine and came with a certificate of authentication. I begged my step dad to get them for me. And after haggling with the selling we settled on a cost of $250.00. I got them home, and put them with the rest of my collection. A year later while I was at a friend's house for a weekend my mom decided to have a garage sell...and guess what the first items to sell were..and for $1.00 a piece..they sold instantly According to her, when she rubbed it in my face. I couldn't do anything about it because I was under HER roof. I'm 29 now and still pissed

[@GoosebumpsNow]

You have every right to be pissed. That is so depressing 😞 I'm sorry to hear. I can't believe that happend. Here's hoping you track down a set again someday.

[@brandonsime9168]

I'm so happy to see you uploading again. I recently went to half price and they had a copy of one day at horrorland for 80. I think someone was on drugs pricing the books at that store

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Thanks! I found I often get commented on my old price guide where people tell me how loud my I tro was as the rest of the video was super quiet. Here's hoping this makes up for that! Your lucky you have a half price books near you. I'd love to go to one!

[@nickcashino6546]

Bumps, PLEASE start doing book reviews of the original 62! I'm sure we'd all love to see your thoughts and opinions on the books themselves 👍

[@GoosebumpsNow]

@@nickcashino6546 So I was originally in a series on my channel called Goosebumps Ghostly reviews so far I only made it through the first 2 as the 3rd script needed a guest start and I haven't been able to pin down another Goosebumps youtuber. I may just rewrite the script and move on without the Collab I had hoped for.

[@pattyrace9]

I recently was able to get all 62 books for $125 on eBay and they were in really good condition much better condition then pictures I’ve seen in a lot of listing.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

You scored there! most book value between 2 and 5# and of course the end of the series is what gets pricey. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!

[@missmissi6388]

Another Goosebump book that I've found very hard to come by is #22 Return to the carnival of Horrors. It's the only one I need for my collection.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Good to know I plan on updating this sometime this year. I like to touche base on these gems yearly

[@MrBensheppard89]

Btw a lot of stores don’t know the rarity’s so they just sell them how they think it’s worth, I got I live in your basement and return to terror tower for only 6 dollars 😂 also you forgot about it came from New Jersey! The prices are off the charts, luckily I got it for 3 dollars

[@GoosebumpsNow]

That's diary I think it's due to me selling my copy and bot having it to use as reference in this. Then again that was a year ago 🤔

[@glendyc22]

Monster Blood IV is currently on thriftbooks for $18.69 in good condition that's the lowest I've seen it on there. The Haunted School also goes up on price even though it has a reprint. Great video thanks.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Yeah thrift books is crazy how the prices jump around. I got the hard to find it came from New Jersey for 8 bucks on there I have not seen the price below 40 since I scored it.

[@classyonabudget4758]

Very happy I bought that one (still in great condition!) around 2014-15 when it was still $6-$8.

[@adamgeorgebrown7694]

I grew up buying the original series books. I have the original shocker n shock street, camp nightmare, headless ghost and more... love how you are a fan of goosebumps, I have always been a fan, I remember when they got rid of the original books and started making the new covers for the books, I thought the series on tv were sweet

[@GoosebumpsNow]

That's awesome! I agree seeing the book changes was kinda sad!

[@coreybarker7720]

Hey bro @BumpsInTheNight. Man I know this video is about a year old at this point but, man you need to take a look a the prices of the late 90's "Goosebumps Presents TV Episode Books"!! there were only a handful made in the whole litte "spin off" series maybe about 18 I think but, Holy Cow the prices of the last few books in the Goosebumps Presents TV Episode Book series are soo high I'm talking $300-395 at best and that is id your lucky it is the Revenge Of The Lawn Gnome TV Episode Book and on Ebay it is not only actually priced that high but it is real rare to see! But yeah the last few of them TV Episode Books are anywhere upwards of $200-390ish!

[@GoosebumpsNow]

That such a waste of money considering the books are so thin. One of the reasons I stopped collecting them was due to price and this was before they skyrocketed. You should look at my updated video on this for this year.

[@iamapokefanyt]

I actually do have a first print of slappy’s nightmare, and you’re plant food!

[@iamapokefanyt]

And my copy of monster blood 4 and I live in your basement are uk copies cause they are cheaper

[@GoosebumpsNow]

@@iamapokefanyt Nice ! also nothing wrong with that

[@ryanthomas4943]

Hey man if you ever decide to sell the give yourself goosebumps series again hit me up. It's the only goosebumps series I need to complete my collection. I only 2 of the books in that series. Great and informative video man, thank you

[@GoosebumpsNow]

If I come across extra I flip them the ones I have now are part of my forever collection. I'll keep you in mind if that ever changes

[@SilentGaming_yt53594]

My local 2nd and Charles location was a goldmine for Goosebumps awhile back, I got a bunch of books from the original 62 for like 17ish bucks, I think I got like 14 or so of them for $1.50 each, and they were also in pretty good condition, they had a bunch of books from other old series there as well, and I’m shocked on how I got Return to Terror Tower for $1.50. Now, they don’t really ever get any older books now, just some Horrorland and Most Wanted books.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Dude that's awesome! I wish i had stories like that once inna blue moon I strike gold but not like that!

[@SilentGaming_yt53594]

@@GoosebumpsNow Another thing that was awesome was that the copy of The Girl Who Cried Monster I got there still had the OG bookmark inside!

@@SilentGaming_yt53594 That's always a treat!

Cool Chanel 🖖🏻

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Thank you 😎

[@brandonsime9168]

not to be nitpicky but when you were talking about the 03 to 06 reprints they did reprint everything 1 to 59 except for phantom of the auditorium and legend of the Lost legend just wanted to I guess say that lol

[@GoosebumpsNow]

I knew there had to he one of 2 others.

[@huntercoleman460]

Shame some of those books were never reprinted.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

I agree here's hoping that it happens some day.

[@jessejive117]

I like it. Makes them rare and sought after. It’s exciting to know it’s only the originals. Makes them scarce and valuable.

[@huntercoleman460]

@@jessejive117 I kind of agree except it increases the price of those books.

[@godjesus3232]

where did you get those book cover/sleeves for the books and what size are they? Thanks!

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Those are just comic book sleeves folded to fit the books. I got them from Goosebumps Completionist. I've been meaning to pick up a pack and do the rest of my books.

[@imchiquitabanana]

Why did he say,”if you don’t care about the slime on the spine” why should we. I’m super intrigued

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Simple look up hippo press Goosebumps Books. The U.K or Euro editions on have a small glipsmof the cover art. The U.S. books have rhe full art from Tim Jacobus as well as the slime drop design where the cover is embossed

[@GoosebumpsNow]

As for why should you it's completely up to you. Myself being a collector I like my set to match. If you don't mind then order the U.K print ans save some money.

[@imchiquitabanana]

@@GoosebumpsNow thanks. I thought you were gonna say something like they’re Less than versions or something lol

[@REALTEXAN_Hispanic]

I love readinf this books. Im 22.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Nothing wrong with that! I just turned 30

[@SEC_22]

The 2 stores I go to have a good selection and they are like 2 dollars so not bad

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Lucky! I wish we had a decent selection down here

[@MidnightVCoco]

I have a copy of trick or trapped and its like in perfect condition and this book for acceptable goes for 100, good is 150+ so I dont want to know what excellent is. because it might just be 500 at this point.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Is say a copy in excellent condition should I understand sell for 225 to 250 max? It all depends on ten collector

[@vl2663]

I have some goosebumps books I got at scholastic book fairs when I was a kid. Are they worth more than regular ones?

[@GoosebumpsNow]

So that depends on a few things. Condition, Inserts be it mailers or cards & book marks or even a mask.

[@shelbyframe3459]

I've got give yourself #33 came from the internet in good condition. Dont go to sleep #54 GC. Monster Blood IV #62 & Curse of Camp Cold Lake #56 in poor condition. Plus a whole bunch of others from Australia but USA prints.

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Nice!

[@deadplanet2397]

I've never heard of thriftbooks... is it a petty reliable site? Books show up in good shape?

[@GoosebumpsNow]

Yes 98 precent of the time they come through and more often than not them book is in better condition than the site posts I truly recommend them.

[@coastcity7029]

Great video for new Goosebump collectors such as myself. I got a Werewolf Skin with a slightly different cover- it has a smaller green text box about the werewolf mask inside. Is one variant more collectible than the other?

[@GoosebumpsNow]

The mask version was released @ Scholastic book fairs I'd say it's the rarer copy

[@coastcity7029]

@@GoosebumpsNow 😎 thanks for dropping the knowledge! I picked up a stack of 14 books from Goodwill in my area with that Werewolf as one. Been trying to pick up wild copies of Goosebumps but it's tough
