tatifan Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 I did a double take at my local Half-Price Books today, as I was staring at nothing less than the Nat King Cole trio set on Mosaic for all of $80!!! Mint condition! It's mine! What has this gone for on ebay recently? Quote

Mint condition! It's mine! What has this gone for on ebay recently? Perhaps the clerk who priced the box set didn't inspect the Mosaic box set carefully. Probably assumed there were 5 double CD jewel cases. A total of 10 discs, therefore 10@$8 = $80. Ebay? $300 - $400 Edited October 13, 2004 by Tjazz Quote
tatifan Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Posted October 13, 2004 Whoa, that high on ebay, holy cow. Looking on the bright side, I really wanted the set, so I'm not looking to turn my good fortune into an ebay profit, so I think it's found a good home --- now if I ever find ANOTHER one..... I feel sorry for the store, they had a copy of the Bear Family Louis Prima set that some bastard sold to them with several discs substituted by Capitol cds!! Strangely they knew that set was worth something, whereas in the case of the Cole set, obviously they didn't. Quote

Probably assumed there were 5 double CD jewel cases. A total of 10 discs, therefore 10@$8 = $80. Ebay? $300 - $400 Hmm... my set contains 6 jewel cases: 4 with 4 discs each, and 2 singles (in their own thinner box that also contains the booklet). At any rate, a great deal. Not as good as mine, though. I bought a used set (mint) from a local store in 1994... $40. Highway robbery. To this day I have no idea what they were thinking (6 X 7 = 42... round down?). I bought a few other sets from them around the same time, also good deals, but nowhere near as good as that. Quote
Brad Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 That is an awesome find, my friend. At its financial peak, this set was going northwards of $500. Quote

I bought a few other sets from them around the same time, also good deals, but nowhere near as good as that. Well, maybe they thought the 4 quad jewel cases were doubles, so 4x2 +1 +1 = 10? $40 - Another theory: They inspected the first box that had 2 single jewel cases and assumed the 2nd box also had 2 single jewel cases. Total 4 CDs @ $10 = $40. Nat King Cole for $40? Maybe they thought MOSAIC was an offbeat cheap re-issue label. (it's black and white, with no color photos or printing) Edited October 14, 2004 by Tjazz Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 I've seen the Cole set go for as high as $900 on E-Bay. Ya got yerself quite a deal! Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 Hey, I picked mine up earlier this year for $90 when a store was going out of business. It was used, but 50% off their reg. used price. I was debating for a while whether to get it, and got lots of comments about it from this crew at the time, but am now glad I did! Never realized it went for that much, but I'm not planning to sell it anyway. Thanks to everyone who knocked some sense into me. You got a great deal, tatifan. Quote
