tranemonk Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 I am convinced there is NO logic to these things... Take for instance the 10CD Billie Holiday which was ONLY available overseas for $30... None of it makes sense... :crazy: Anyone ever wonder why the Wes or Evans Riverside boxes NEVER go on sale like this? Quote
jazzbo Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I got the Wes Montgomery at a reasonable price in a sale from Concord a while back. Seems that it was available from them until recently, which would explain why it hasn't been "blown out" by wholesalers. Maybe if there were sets left that Concord purged from the warehouse we'll see some show up very cheap soon. I think the Bill Evans Riverside went out of print and was never cut out and sent off to distributors. It's been gone for some time, and is a collectible rarity these days. I'd love to have one but I have all the music on separate cds and won't pay huge prices for a set. Edited January 10, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
mellowT Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Got a shipping notice today, plus I noticed Newbury raised its price to $39.99. Quote
Matthew Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Looks like we made it under the wire... Quote
jazzbo Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Me too, both mine are on the way. Edited January 28, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks for the tip, Matthew. This might go down as my personal best deal ever - $7.99 plus 2.98 shipping. Unbelievable! Shit. Missed it. Quote
Quincy Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Me too, thanks for the tip Matthew. If the mastering is good for Power To The People and Japan I'll lower my cost to an even more ridiculously low amount. I never pulled the trigger because of "the back end" of this set. Still shaking my head over how cheap this box is - with shipping about the same as some OJCs when not on sale in local shops (back when seeing one was a common occurrence.) I'm glad early on I leaned towards buying Mosaic boxes and not this and the Art Pepper Vanguard (which I got last year at a silly low price.) Though the cost has been fewer years of enjoyment. Quote

captainwrong Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 Half? I consider a quarter of that for mine. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 But if they're charging you that much for the item, why the $2.98 for shipping? Seems like the shipping should be for free at that point. Bah. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 I'm gonna let some of you zeros fight it out over the more expensive new box....meanwhile I'll slip in on in and grab the Used-Like New box for $1.50 less! YES!!! Quote

ghost of miles Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 What will happen to the rest of the economy when the Getz box-set bubble collapses? Quote
neveronfriday Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 Hey guys, check out this Amazon box set "sale": Stan Getz - Complete Roost Recordings Only $11,776.48 + $2.98 shipping :crazy: That is just fucking insane, it has to be some kind of typo. I feel like such an idiot for selling mine for $9284.14 w/ free shipping. I got mine about two weeks ago (no kidding) for around 10 Euro, used. Had to buy new jewel cases because they were broken. CDs as new. You rrrreeeeaaaaly went over the top with those 14 cents there! You could have rounded it up to $9500 ... for those extra few crates of beer that we all need to have around the house.

Ron S Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 What will happen to the rest of the economy when the Getz box-set bubble collapses? Obviously, another bail-out. Quote
