According to my research of sold prices, it looks like nice sets have sold for $120-$140. I just missed out on a mint set that Dusty Groove had for sale about a month ago for $140. Discogs lists the median sold price on its site as $119, and the highest sold price on its site as $155.

Thanks. I have looked at discogs and recently reached out to two Sellers on there but no luck. About 3 weeks ago I e-mailed the Seller of the only reasonably-priced set on there (the one listed for $90). It took him 2 weeks to get back to me and his copy has a box in poor condition. I doubt I would have done business with him in any event, even if his set had been in better shape, given his poor communication/customer service (which I have found to be a problem with quite a few Sellers on discogs). I also e-mailed the discogs Seller located in the U.K. a few weeks ago but his set lacks the large book and international shipping would have been expensive.

Thanks for the offer. I appreciate it. I would like to to get one with the big box and booklet but I will definitely keep your offer in mind in case I have a hard time finding a complete set. Thanks again.

I am looking to buy the Mosaic Larry Young Complete Blue Note Recordings (6 CD) box set at a fair (i.e., non-eBay) price. All (box, booklet, jewel cases, CDs) should be in nice condition. If anyone has a set they are willing to sell, please send me a pm with details about price (shipped) and condition. Thanks,

PM sent on the following. Svein Finnerud Trio -- The Complete Released Works, 1968-1999 $40

My order arrived today (Nat King Cole Hittin' the Ramp box, Larry Young in Paris, Charles Lloyd Manhattan Stories, Jones/Lewis Orchestra All My Yesterdays). This is the first time I had ordered from Resonance and I am very impressed: everything was packed well and shipped inside a sturdy box. And the digipacks and/or slipcases are very nice quality; the Larry Young and Jones/Lewis are even in larger size slipcases for those 2-CD sets. This should be a fun weekend of listening to a lot of new-to-me music.

I check eBay all the time and have bought a lot of Mosaics at good prices on there the past few years. Of course there are sellers on there who post crazy prices (sights4sound) but one can find bargains if one is patient, knows the value of an item, and knows what one is willing to pay. For example, a few minutes ago I bought the Mosaic Stanley Turrentine box set for $75. It was just listed an hour or two ago. That is a title that shows up on eBay for an average of around $125. It is a set I wanted to get but, because I had prioritized getting other Mosaics before that one, I decided I did not want to pay $125 or more for it at present and told myself I'd get it when I found a good deal on it, which I just did. It is a matter of constantly checking eBay, being patient, and sticking to your target price because, with a few exceptions, eventually you will find the Mosaic you are looking for within your price range on eBay..

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered the Nat King Cole Hittin' the Ramp box (7 CD), Larry Young in Paris (2 CD), Charles Lloyd Manhattan Stories (2 CD), and the Jones/Lewis Orchestra All My Yesterdays (2 CD). I was tempted by the Jaco Pastorius Truth, Liberty & Soul and the Bill Evans Top of the Gate CDs but decided to hold off on those for another day. All of the above for $83 (before shipping). What a bargain! I already have both of the Grant Green CDs (Funk in France, Slick) and the Eric Dolphy Musical Prophet box that Resonance has on sale and highly recommend them to anyone who does not already have them. They are fantastic.

I also ordered my copy yesterday and look forward to getting it. On an unrelated (non-Mosaic) note. I placed my first order on the Jazz Messengers site a few weeks ago (for the Jim Hall Live Vols 2-4 box which someone mentioned on here recently) and it shows that the item shipped on June 29. Is there a way to see a tracking # on their site? I could not find it on the My Account/Orders page. I know the item will take some time to get to NY from Barcelona but I am just curious where it may be in the shipping process. Thanks.

I will definitely get my order in by next week. I have the Mosaic Hank Mobley Fifties Sessions box but do not have (and don't t think I have ever heard) any of the music that is on the new box.

I also have the CD set and can confirm that both the music and sound quality are excellent. It is a great set; highly recommened.

I will have to check my set. I listened to all of the CDs when I first got the set weeks ago and all seemed fine but I will double check. Do the duplicate CD 1's both state CD 1 on the label? Or is the problem that the labels are correct in listing CD 1 & CD 2 but the music on CD 2 is actually a duplicate of the music on CD 1? Thanks for letting us know about this issue.

I received my set this afternoon and look forward to playing the music the next few days.

I am still looking for CD 1 and would even be willing to buy a CD-R copy of the first CD from someone who has this set. It would be nice to have all of this great music. Thanks.

I finally received my shipping notice a few hours ago.
