sidewinder Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Man, that's insane ! I'll have to put on my 'best librarian' voice next time I try to get hold of an OOP Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 For those willing to shelve out 71€ for a Select (I'd be crazy enough if I hadn't gotten these, the Dexter and Pullen at this very price, I think), German Amazon still has a few of these left: Dexter Gordon (1 left) Grachan Moncur III (3 left, also some marketplace offers) Carmell Jones (1 left, and a few marketplace offers) I'm not taking any responsibility of course...

king ubu Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Finally bought the Pacific Piano Trios on ebay last night... had to stay up and watch it... in the final two minutes, someone was bidding like mad but my max-bid was higher, luckily. Cost me 100$ with shipping, but gee I want this sucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiRiIII Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well I'm still waiting on my John Patton set from Mosaic, sent " surface" 16/9/09. Not had to wait this long for years. Worryingly the other Selects I got at last gasp arrived within 10 days of ordering. Fingers crossed. Postal strike wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it? MG still waiting, I am getting convinced that this one is lost/delayed in transit. I'll give it a few more days before troubling the "new Cindy" (aka Fred) My order from November 2009 was lost in the mail (Artie Shaw, Boogie Woogie Select, Randy Weston Select). Fred sent me a replacement order which arrived today, but without the Weston Select which was deleted in the meantime... What happened to your package?

king ubu Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Gee, that sucks about the Weston! There seem to be some copies of it around though: http://www.amazon.de/Mosaic-Select-Randy-Weston/dp/B00028G07C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1266489038&sr=1-1 Rather pricey, but it's a very good set!

J.A.W. Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm still hoping to find a not-too-expensive Freddie Slack Select. Fat chance, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR John Patton Select never arrived, waited in vain, presumed lost. At least I had "Along came John " on CD and nice Liberty pressing of "Understanding", my fault for sitting on the fence till this crisis. Mosaic were of course a model of good customer relations and credited the set against my next purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 The deleted Selects have been all over Ebay lately. There are several Richards, Slack, Pepper, Gordon, Brookmeyer, Jones, Pearson, Shank/Cooper, PJPT, Reece, and Patton sets listed right now.

I'm offering a Patton Select for $60 postpaid over at Offering and Looking For if anyone is interested...

ASNL77 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Damn! The surface shipping option is no longer a possibility for international buyers. I wanted to order the Mulligan on its own but $15 for a $44 order, that's a bit too much. I'll wait a bit and combine it with another big set (Either the Peterson or the Crosby) Yet I'm glad that we now have the possibility to go the Fedex route. It seems that my request to Mosaic has been heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well we're talking OOP Mosaic here, "reason" is relative.The Buy-it-Now auctions are stupidly steep, I agree, but the regular auctions are what they are. $80 sounds pretty reasonable to me for a Shank/Cooper or the like.

king ubu Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, no one here was in to get the Shank/Cooper in trade for the Pres set, which is cheaper than 80$... (offer still good). The Pacific Trios I just bought was 90$, plus quite some for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
