bump.... Auctions ending tomorrow evening. Single bid wins land you a disc for $3.99. Two single win bids gets you a pair for $5.98. Plenty of bargains to be had.

For those comfortable with ebay, I'm selling some CDs with starting bids at .99 cents. Shipping is $3 for the first item and $1 for each item. Perhaps you'd like to check out the auction and stock up. Ebay I'm also selling a few non-music items so please scroll down to find the CDs. Thanks for looking!

I've had this for years but haven't listened for about as long. I'm not vouching for it, but it would seem to fit the bill of the discussion. Small picture....Branford Marsalis "Romances for Saxophone"

up with price reductions...

I have the following titles available: Jean Michel-Pilc- "Essential" open, unplayed, black line through upc code $8 Roger Davidson/David Finck- "Umbrellas & Sunshine" New and sealed $8 Sir Roland Hanna- "Colors from a Giant's Kit" open but unplayed. black mark through upc code $8 Danny Fox Trio- "One Constant" open but unplayed, hole punched in UPC $8 All prices include shipping to US addresses. Paypal preferred. International inquiries welcome, shipping more expensive and at cost. Take the whole lot for $25 (inc. shipping).

Here is another bargain to consider, The Complete Jacqueline DuPre on EMI. 17 CDS for $32 through resellers or $38 through amazon. Wow! I only have a little bit of her music...this looks absolutely worth the plunge so I took it! DuPre on Amazon

I don't know you Shawn, but thanks for having the courage to share your tale. Good luck to you in LA. James

POPMARKET? What is going on with them. I've tried to activate and account with three different emails and I never receive their invitation that allows me to full activate and establish my account. I just tried with my wife's email- strike 4! Has anyone else had a problem....I'm guessing not since you all seem to shop there. They send me their emails, their help desk tells me to refer to the email they sent that I never received. They further tell me that they can't generate a new activation request and once you initiate an account that doesn't come to fruition they can't clear the email from having "account" status. This is maddening. I get the feeling they really don't want my money.

Alec, PM sent regarding these the other day. Yes they are still available, please let me know if you'd like the bunch. Thanks!

I'm selling some premade jazz bundles on audiogon.com. Five CDs, in some cases 6, for $20 with free media mail shipping to US. Buy five bundles and you can choose a sixth for free! The spring cleaning continues. Thanks for looking. Audiogon

I agree. Last night, however, Amazon itself (for a very brief time, apparently) was selling the Beatles Mono Box Set for $99.99 - I purchased one myself. Best Buy has the mono set for $99.99 Beatles Mono Box I've got the stereo box so I can't bring myself to do it. Can/will anyone change my mind?

Denis, Thanks for your interest. I'm going to hold out a couple of days to see if I can sell the whole lot in one shot. If not then I'll honor individual requests. I appreciate your patience. James

I have available the following books for sale. All are in very good/excellent condition (and as noted) Blue Note "The Album Cover Art" (ISBN 0-8118-0036-9) $20 Blue Note 2 "The Album Cover Art" (ISBN 0-8118-1853-5) $30 (a quarter sized area on the lower back of the rear cover where I must have peeled off a sticker) California Cool "West Coast Jazz of the 50s & 60s- The Album Cover Art" (ISBN 0-8118-0275-2) $40 New York Hot "The Album Cover Art" (ISBN 0-8118-0416-x) $15 (2 small areas on back or rear cover where plastic film is beginning to separate from the cover) All these books have nice tight bindings. They've been sitting flat for years, browsed briefly years ago, untouched since. All prices include shipping and are based on current amazon reseller prices. I'd prefer to sell them as a set, all four for $75, which will include media mail postage to US addresses. International inquiries welcome, but shipping will be extra and at cost. Thanks!

I'm glad to have ordered the Beethoven and Vivaldi boxes. Wish now that I'd have sprung for the Handel too. Not likely to see those prices again.

Hey, what's the point of being a moderator if you don't get to f--- people up from time to time? Seriously -- I may have overstepped the bounds on this one. If so, I'm sorry; I'm certainly not perfect. I amassed these sets in numerous ways through the years- more often than not my wallet opened to do so. I'm a collector/bargain hunter like so many others here. I was very fortunate to have been able to work with Mosaic over the years. It was not without a great deal of consideration that I finally decided to sell some promos. To the moderators- your question was fair and I felt my response was sufficient. I apologize for not having thicker skin and subsequently lashing out.

My answering of the question may have been reluctant, but your predisposition to something "being fishy" would have to be a factor in seeing it as hostile. You're right, I don't have to do business here and I won't. Your heavy-handed moderation is enough to keep me from offering items of interest at fair prices to fellow jazz aficionados. There are plenty of other places to sell where one won't get hassled.

Please answer this seemingly reasonable question, Mr. Peccary. Failure to do so makes one suspicious. Suspicious? You're killing me. I spent many years as a journalist and collector. Moving along some sets that I don't/haven't listened to in order to get a Martin guitar. Something that I will enjoy on a much more regular basis. So you were sent these sets by Mosaic in the expectation/hope that, as a journalist, you would review/write about them? If my figures are correct, thirty-one of the thirty-eight sets you are offering for sale here are SEALED. You worrying about MY business is really something else. By your calculation, how many of these sets are promos? Are you aware of how many sets I may have acquired multiple copies of? Do you know how many sets I actually covered and reciprocated Mosaic's support with ink? Did you know that early on review copies were SOLD at a discount, not given free? Do you know how many, and which sets I still have (and GASP!!) may wish to sell at a later date because they're mine and it is MY RIGHT and MY BUSINESS to do so? I'd by happy to send you my credit card bills so that you can get your nose further/fully involved with what I do.

up with one last addition.....

The Basie is back in play.....

up with a few final additions....

crap, you beat me! I wonder, what does "promo" mean? Any difference from the regular boxes? "Promo" sets are full sets. The only difference is that instead of being numbered the word "promo" is written.
