ejp626 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 See if your library can get them through interlibrary loan if they don't have them locally. Chicago Public Library has a fairly impressive collection of the early Mosaics, though I don't think they have been keeping up. (Fortunately doing much better on the DVD side with Criterion.) However, they are in reference, so no loaning over night, and definitely no loaning to other libraries (I would be very doubtful if any library would do interlibrary loan for OOP items quite frankly). So that means you need a long afternoon to go in to the music reference section and request them to be played over their equipment. It takes a lot of patience. More than I have frankly.

Has "Blue Note" in his moniker and is from Stamford, CT. Wonder if it's the company itself selling some excess stock? (I know, I know, it could be anybody, but who's fortunate to get a single numbered set besides some big wig?) New or mint Buddy De Franco's go for about that much. However, I noticed a brand new LP version went recently for $200 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that prices like the Buddy De Franco/Sonny Clark one a few and far between. I think I may hold on the OOP ones I have that I don't really listen to a bit longer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowT Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Nat King Cole Trio "Capitol Recordings" Mosaic Box:mint Over $700 including shipping, dats-gotta-hurt. Recession? what recession? Plus it's summertime and people are away on vacation (or are they?). Usually this is a bad time to be selling on eBay and a good time for buyers, yet I've seen no drop off for that reason either. Perhaps with all the "stay-cations" happening, folks have more money to buy Mosaics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two days still left: http://cgi.ebay.com/COMPLETE-BUDDY-DeFRANC...4#ht_500wt_1182 Apparently, the B.D.F.'s were never hand-numbered. He also has the Count Basie Live and Phil Woods sets for sale.

greggery peccary Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm late to this discussion, but someone from Stamford, CT. selling mint/low-numbered Mosaic's- the Woods is #8 and the Basie is #28. Is this seller someone formerly or presently associated with Mosaic.....is it Mosaic by chance getting some petty cash? Just curious......Thanks!

Ken Dryden Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 What's crazy are the shipping charges for boxed sets from San Francisco seller. $36, $45? Sounds like someone is more interested in keeping ebay's mits off of more of the purchase price. I've always found this a little unsavory.

What they miss on a final value fee they tap into with paypal........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, no one is forcing anyone to use ebay, or deal with a seller who has excessive shipping fees. I have been less enthusiastic about selling on ebay since they required accepting paypal, as there is no easy way to exclude credit and debit card transactions. I tried listing that in my offerings and winners often overlooked/ignored it. But ebay had to do something with all of the fraud that was taking place due to certain crooked sellers.

I didn't know they required paypal, thanks for the tip. Now someone needs to explain to me why someone paid slightly more for a used edition of The Complete H.R.S. Sessions, $100, when they could have gotten a new one from Mosaic for $96??? The Complete H.R.S. Sessions Mosaic MD6-187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sellers have to offer paypal as an option to buyers. Some people get caught up in the moment in auctions instead of doing a bit of research before clicking "Bid now." I remember a guy in a store having a used LP reissue of Charlie Parker's Bird at St. Nick's while it was still in print for $15. Buyer beware.

Swinging Swede Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 It has happened several times before that in print Mosaics have sold for more on eBay. I think these may be cases when the buyers don't know about the Mosaic site; perhaps they check Amazon and think it's something that is out of print. Or they just like winning auctions!
