  1. Hi there - does anyone have an extra box and/or booklet to sell? Many thanks!
  2. I was there in June. Bought the Tina Brooks and Clifford Brown Mosaic sets.
  3. I think this depends on the degree of service and, most importantly, the access to the audience who'll buy these records. I would pay more to someone who has a track record of selling the best records for the highest prices. It also depends on the broker's ability to collect consumer information to use for future sales. You should be able to negotiate lower if the broker has the ability to own the buyer's contact information afterwards for their exclusive use. That also assumes though that these records are what you say and will command significant attention. I actually think selling piecemeal rarely justifies the money earned. I would recommend trying to find a broker who's able to find a buyer for the entire lot at a fair price. Another alternative are renowned record stores themselves. Many of the best record stores (including those on eBay like carolinasoul) source records internationally and have buyers stationed regionally to scoop the best products at the fairest prices. These stores will often pay upwards to 70% of discogs value on the records. To me, that's good value for a seller looking to offload records in bulk. I would personally go this route first especially if you're looking to sell by genre. What you wouild need to have done to benefit from this is to price the collection according to discogs market rates and have those figures ready when approaching stores. I would, however, determine first and foremost who the major players are in terms of selling the type of vinyl you have.
  4. Hey everyone! It's been a good long time since I last posted. but I know this is still one of the best resources for jazz on the net. I'm visiting Los Angeles and Southern California in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for stores to buy vintage jazz vinyl? Any insights would be appreciated!
  5. "Food For Thought" (Polydor Japan with OBI) $15 "Doin' it to the Death" (Polydor Japan with OBI) $15 Only played once. Paypal only, please. S/H included within North America. Elsewhere at cost.
  6. Saw that she was gigging, but my buddy was there on Saturday night. He said she past prime, and actually takes repeated breathers in the ladies room after each two song set.
  7. I thought I might let everyone know that I had a Dodo Greene spotting over the weekend. She plays the "Anchor Bar" with a quartet every weekend in Buffalo, NY. Four Songs and out usually.
  8. IMO, the record that most blatantly defines Benson's transition to pop was "Good King Bad." OOP title on CTI - his last CTI record.
  9. I actually want to see the General Grievous-Obi Wan battle more than the Annakin-Obi Wan battle.
  10. Has anyone ever stayed at any of these hotels: Hotel Langlois St Thomas D'Aquin Jardins d'Eiffel Mugeut These are our finalists.
  11. Has anyone ever flown with this company? We are thinking of using it for our trip to Paris in the fall, but wanted to solicit opinions before we really jumped the gun.
  12. What did you think? I rewatched "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" over the weekend in anticipation of its release. Should we believe the hype!?!?!
  13. I felt the same way. Visually, the movie was spectacular. The story lacked, but I thought it was better than "Troy."
  14. I'm going to that movie tonight as well. I'm really getiing pumped about the new Star Wars. Preliminary reviews rate it as the best since "The Empire Strikes Back."
  15. Complete Atlantic Sessions; Box and 6 cds are in tip-top shape, but there is no booklet. Good music, but I have Mosaic fever. I'll sell it for $50 (s/h included within North America). Paypal only, please. Alternatively, I'll trade the set for or towards any of the "Modern Jazz" Mosaics or Gerald Wilson Mosaic. Thanks!
  16. Can anyone shed light on this set: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4723837490&rd=1
  17. He's actually only taking time off to shoot the film version of "Rent" in which he first starred on Broadway. He'll be back next season. In the meantime, Chris (Tony's nephew) from the Soprano's will be filling in for five episodes.
  18. Kevin: I'm just not sure why that is for you to decide? (Well, I guess it is...but I guess our politics differ, which is completely fine). Shouldn't all you be concerned about is the seller's Ebay feedback? I bought the Gordon Select from this guy and it arrived no problem. I know we all love Mosaic here, but as Hans somewhat alluded to, it is kind of disheartening to pay extra shipping and wait longer (in some cases, months) for these sets. I'm not a big believer in buying incomplete sets, but the fact of the matter is if the product fits the description you are looking for, shouldn't that be all that ultimately matters? Remember you are using a legitimate third party to purchase these products.
  19. Believe it or not, it's that $10 S/H that detracts me from buying the Selects. Otherwise, I'd be all for it. I really want to hear some of that music.
  20. $7 difference, plus another $7 difference in shipping for me.
  21. Again, where is the evidence!?!?! It's hearsay, and would never stand up in a court of law. Now this becomes an explosive legal matter because you begin questioning the US legal system and whether real criminals are being let off due to lack of evidence. Personally, I feel as though there much more brilliant men and women who put these rules in place, and if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me. Yes, the law should adapt itself to reflect changing conditions and attitudes, but the basic premise will always hold true. A person is innocent until proven guilty!
  22. Why should I bother to ask their origins!?!?! It's true. I'm not the federal government. Hell, I'm not even a lawyer, or a U.S. Citizen. Why is it my duty to correct the problems of multi-million dollar corporations who have all means at their disposal to squash these matters? If this is really a concern for Mosaic/EMI, then they should be doing something about it. Hell, if it was even a minor concern, shouldn't they consider emailing all of their "loyal customers" that this company is a fraud, and should not be trusted? I don't see that happening. If this really is a "legal" matter, they should have no trouble speaking out against them. And suddenly I should be held accountable because I'm not willing to confront a retailer who MAY be selling stolen good through a trustyworth third-party!?!?!
  23. But there is no evidence. I don't have to blame anyone in this case because I can't be held liable for purchasing a third-party jazz box set through a leading on-line auction site acting as the auctioneer on the seller's behalf. As far as I know, I'm buying a box set. Not a stolen set!
