colinmce Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 If anyone's in the market for a new Mosaic, there are dozens listed on ebay right now and nearly all have low starting bids. Some rare ones, too: Lang/Venuti, Phillips/Ventura, the 3 single LP sets, James/Krupa, Jazz Piano Moods, etc. I'm hoping that this will flood the market a bit and I can pick one up for a deal.link: http://music.shop.ebay.com/Music-/11233/i.html?LH_Auction=1&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4845&rt=nc&_nkw=mosaic&_catref=1&_dmpt=Music_CDs&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=3 Quote
Face of the Bass Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 I have yet to receive mine. Ordered Jan. 24th. Hopefully in the next couple days? Well, if it makes you feel better I think I ordered mine the same day as you and mine hasn't arrived yet either. (In fact, it was your "what the hell, might as well get this for that price" post that made me do the same.) Quote
JohnT Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Haven't received my Peterson box yet either and ordered it around the same time as you guys. Quote
Sandman Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Same here -- still waiting. I won't start to worry until 30 days from purchase given all of the bad weather and the reports of delays from others on the Board. But I wish it was here already! Quote
BeBop Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Borders online 40% off any one item with code BXP8221X. Could be good value on a box. Quote

After hearing the stories, I'll just bide my time. It sounds like the seller is legit. It may take as long as 60 or so days. As I posted in the thread about problems with UK deliveries, I recently received a UK order almost two months after it was shipped (or "dispatched," as they say) in early December. In the interim, the same seller had shipped and I had recevied a replacement order, all within the span of 2-3 weeks. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the length of these delays. Quote

I ordered my Peterson Mosaic on January 27 and got it here in San Francisco on February 7 along with the Carter/Bradford Select mentioned on this site from AMZ Marketplace. So yes, the seller is legit. The set was minty fresh and sealed and comes in a box with a blue Royal Mail sticker. I had to pay the increased shipping cost and am not a huge fan of OP, but at that price, it's still a deal. Edited February 14, 2011 by trane_fanatic Quote
JohnT Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I ordered mine on January 24th and live in Florida and have yet to recieve mine. Last time I looked, I thought Florida was closer to the UK than San Francisco but maybe not... Quote
TedR Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I'm surprised that you'd have to pay the increased shipping costs. I assume when you purchased it the seller charged 7GBP for shipping. Now it's 12GBP. But if an order was placed and accepted at the previous 7 GBP, then that's the deal. Quote
miles65 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I ordered the OP box on January, 25. UK to The Netherlands is mostley a week or so. But so far no OP box for me. Sellar gave me positive feedback though. Today I Sent Filmzone1 a mail asking were it is. Best transatlantic shipping ever: 4 days by Mosaic. Once I ordered a set Tuesday got it Saturday.

Yea, it went up to 12GBP by the time I ordered. These things always happen to me. Quote
JohnT Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I sent Filmzone1 an email today too. Supposedly the Peterson Box was sent to me in Florida on Jan. 26th. It's been 19 days and counting... Quote
paul secor Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 After reading all of this, I'm glad that I don't care much about Oscar Peterson. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I'm not worried about when I will be getting the OP box. I only ordered it because it was a good deal. I've got plenty of other stuff to listen to anyways, there's no rush. I don't expect it to arrive any particular day so when it does arrive (whether that be tomorrow or another month from now), it will be a pleasant surprise. The guy is legit. I'm sure he shipped the box when he said he did. It's just that the international shipping system has gone haywire recently. Quote
mellowT Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Hope you guys get what you expect. Other than the photo, I thought it was strange the listing didn't contain the names Oscar or Peterson. Quote
Van Basten II Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) As I mentionned earlier I did receive it and it's the real McCoy (although it's still Oscar on piano) , it's just shipping problems nothing to do with the seller. Edited February 19, 2011 by Van Basten II Quote
TedR Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I received my OP set yesterday. I live in northern ohio. It arrived in a shipping envelope and, as a result, had one small dent and one small crease on the bottom edge of the Mosaic box. Otherwise it arrived in great shape. Listening to and enjoying the first cd this morning. Nice variety with ballads that stay close to the song followed by uptempo swingers. So far I much prefer this OP to his later trios. And my wife is enjoying it which is a big plus. Quote
