Are there any box bargains currently available?

[mellowT]

"When new, these sets cost an average of $25-$30 per LP times the number of LPs in the box set [i.e., a 4 LP set was $100-120, etc]"

That statement is not true. The early Mosaic sets were priced at something like $10 per LP.

Yeah, sorry that "sale" is a joke.

Yah, these guys want $2,000 for the first two Commodore volumes used, whereas all 3 volumes sealed sold for $1,100 a month ago, as documented on the eBay thread.

I'd say you're right.

Are there any deals anywhere on Bear Family boxes? The best deals I could find on sets I was interested in ran about $18.00 per disc.

The Andrew Hill solo Select is also at the same price. At the other end of the spectrum, they are carrying many of the Mosaic Singles for $27.30.

Does anyone know if Amazon will intentionally delay shipping an order if a customer requests it? I want to lock in the good price on one of these, but am not going to be home for the few days when the order would most likely be delivered. For obvious reasons I would rather not have a package sitting out waiting for me during those days if I can help it...

[mikelz777]

The Woody Herman Select is currently listed for $6677.91. Grab it while you can!

[colinmce]

Hm, and I thought $600 for Freddie Slack was on the steep end.

I don't think Amazon lets you do that, but the USPS does (not always with 100% accuracy, I might add):

https://holdmail.usps.com/holdmail/landingView.do

Just make sure it doesn't ship UPS or FedEx.
