Pete B Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 B-) Yeah, I grabbed it last night. I had a little extra cash to play with due to a couple of extra last minute gigs, so I decided to leap. It seems they list one a day between 8-9 pm (EST), so I decided to check in and search their listings whenever a timeout was called during the UNC-VA game. The next to last timeout, I scored it. At that price, I couldn't resist. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to exploring it during 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructible! Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hey Kulu Se Mama and Jim Sangrey, Thanks to you both, I just snagged this set tonight from eBay! Damn, this is such a good price... I can't thank you enough for letting us know about it! Sorry Kevin, but it really does look they are consistent in putting up the set between 8-9:00 pm Eastern (I jumped on it around 6:00 pm Pacific time)... I'm sure you'll snag one tomorrow! Wonder how much RUST is gonna be on this thing? The "stock" photo they use in their description shows a pretty decent amount of rust already! Thanks again!!! Cheers, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) Just a heads-up to all non-US members that they don't do international shipment on this one (most sadly) Must be something to do with export restrictions on the lump of pig metal.

I believe they will ship overseas if you pay the additional price for rust coating. Edited February 20, 2005 by alankin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Can you burn these "Passalongs" onto CDs? Do they come with artwork and liner notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) I don't want to scare Pete but universal is notoriously slow in shipping and not that good at customer service. I don't find them at all reliable and I avoid their auctions now. Don't get me wrong. You'll get the item but unless they've improved, you need to keep after them. BTW, Indestructible is right. They put them on around 845, 850 EST. And like clockwork, they're gone in a few minutes. Edited February 20, 2005 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I bought one of these last week and got a shipping notice from Uni the very next day. Don't know how long it will actually take to arrive, but they processed quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thanks for the heads up Brad. They wouldn't be the first ebay seller I ever dealt with that was slow to ship and had lousy customer service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ray, That's good to hear that they've improved. I might just take a look at some of their auctions again then because they do have soom good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 This has come to be a nightly event for Universal, with rostasi getting one tonight. I may have to take a chance tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 This has come to be a nightly event for Universal, with rostasi getting one tonight. I may have to take a chance tomorrow. I think they're just a bunch of teases out there at Universal. They could just as easilly offer multiple copies in a single listing. They wanna see us squirm!!! rod (eh, hem...)

Bluerein Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Is it possible for someone in the US to buy one for me? Of course after you all had a chance to buy it.......I can do paypal or CC whatever you want. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Reinier, I'll give it a try in the next couple of days (if I can get my son off the computer ). Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Well, it'd be nice if someone who's been trying for a week got one first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well, it's been on there pretty frequently the past week. In fact the one that went last night sat around for about half an hour before rostasi bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Just received mine a few minutes ago. Shipped from Uni Music's Santa Monica offices - funny, but a year or two ago they could have interofficed this to me! Just gotta comment about the packaging. Even after hearing the complaints about this for years, I still gotta say, "What the fuck were they thinking!" I don't mind the outer metal box (slightly rusted, but already staining my fingers) but the way the discs are shoved inside on that metal ring thing! The book seems nice, but as I'm getting older it's really getting hard to read that teeny tiny type... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the one that went last night sat around for about half an hour before rostasi bought it. Hey, it's my own fault... the timing on these things just aren't good for me. I'll get a set one of these days. Last night was volleyball night. Tonight, I'm going to the Sahara Club in Methuen, MA to see a sextet with Bill Pierce and Mick Goodrick. The Evans box will have to wait again. It's fate, I tell ya'. Has anyone E-mailed this place to see if they have a stack of them for sale? I should try that. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I realize this is a good price, but is it still worth it? I know very little of this period of Evans, but I do have the one-disc sampler from the box, and I don't listen to it very often. The few times I did listen, it did nothing for me. Am I missing something? Is there better stuff on the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Well it's a great deal if you like Bill Evans, but an awful lot of Evans if you don't. Out of the 18 discs, there are something like 11-12 discs of his trio, so that may be a lot more than you need. But it's obviously not something to listen to in one (or even two or three) sittings.

Pete B Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 In my case, the deal-breaker was that I had just attended an improvisation workshop by Eddie Gomez and Mark Kramer and I just wanted to hear more Gomez, especially in a piano trio context. And that it happens to be with Bill Evans, well, what's not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Man, you gotta be quick on this baby. I missed it by seconds. It was posted at 855 and gone at 856. Well, there's tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjazz Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Last night was volleyball night. Has anyone E-mailed this place to see if they have a stack of them for sale? I should try that. Later, Kevin I played volleyball last night too! I emailed them thru ebay, inquiring if I could buy the box set. They gave me a 'form' email reply. 2/23/5 I got this email from Universal: We appreciate your interest in our online Store. The auction item you are interested in is currently closed due to an error in the listing, but be sure to check back soon for a re-listing. Please include the original message in all replies. Thank you for contacting us.
