  1. 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. 

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. 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!?!?!

  7. 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!
