Definitely a fluke-- and an odd one. I don't recall ever seeing it go for under $200.
It's certainly a wonderful set to have, but I compiled it with the individual issues for about $50.
Big haul killing time in another town, waiting for the wife:

and the crown find of the day ...
David S. Ware Quartet - Godspelized (DIW) for 5.98. The temptation to turn it around is there, but I have to hang on to it.
I have noticed that the magnificent, Penguin-crowned All That is Tied has fallen out of print. There are a couple more "affordable" copies on Amazon, so I might suggest picking this up quickly if you haven't already. I can't imagine you'd regret it
That's the one.
There is one decently priced Bluebird edition on Ebay, but there is a sticker on the back of the digipack. I'll probably just have to let that slide ...
The OOP Bluebird edition of this goes for big bucks, but this Euro version is available on the cheap. Any reason why I shouldn't spring for this much cheaper edition? An Amazon review suggests problems, but that's just one person, so I don't know how much stock I should put into that.
Cecil Taylor - Love For Sale CD, $4.50 sealed on Amazon.
Just goes to show that it pays to obsessively search for 'wishlist' items on a weekly basis. This disc has just about fallen off the face of the earth as of late.
Not sure if this has been posted in this thread or not (I think not) but here's an interesting cover for 3 Compositions. Doesn't even look like Braxton! Maybe Chuck can shed some light:
