So how did the value of the Nationals increase in 4 years from $120 to $450 million? Nationals $450 Million Sale Appears Set By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer 2 hours ago NEW YORK - With baseball owners set to approve the $450 million sale of the Washington Nationals on Thursday, they started turning their attention to the next hot topic: collective bargaining. The Nationals' sale to Theodore Lerner and Stan Kasten won unanimous endorsements Wednesday from the sport's ownership committee and executive council, and all owners are to vote on it Thursday. Approval is a foregone conclusion, and Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, said he expects the Nationals will be transferred between June 15 and the All-Star game on July 11. "They have been immersed in stadium discussions and planning," he said of the incoming owners. Baseball's other 29 teams purchased the Montreal Expos for $120 million in 2002 from Jeffrey Loria, who bought the Florida Marlins from John Henry, the head of a group that took over the Boston Red Sox. The Expos, plagued by poor attendance, moved to Washington for the 2005 season and were renamed. Full article

Barry Bonds is set to play the Dodgers this weekend. I remember Hank Aron hitting his record breaking HR against the Dodgers. So are the Dodgers going to walk Bonds or pitch to him?

LP or CD?

Highwaymen CD/DVD for $5.99

If the SUNS knock Kobe out, they can probably win the series. The LAKERS might be celebrating TOO soon. Are the Heat and Spurs going to take 7 games?????

Hey, slow down. Kobe's not perfect. He blew the 1st game against the Suns. His foul trouble in the 4th game didn't help. Also those missed free throws were pretty bad too. Luckily he made the last shots in regulation and OT. Like S. Parker was missing all of his shots, but made a 3 pointer late in the game and the important steal. What a lucky win. 99, three games in a row!

The only factor you left out is.... an injury. Will Duncan get INJURED? Then Dallas might get by San Antonio. Also, will the Heat have some MORE injuries?

Getting back to Tiger, I wouldn't worry about him, a TV show mentioned that he has about 80 million a year in endorsements.

I told you not to expense the Mosaic sets.

How many were actually sold? (who has the highest number?)

What it called? The Peter Principle...

Some people increase their shipping fees to compensate for the paypal fees. The shipping fees are not part of your ebay commission. If you increase your reserve, ebay will also get an increased commission.

I just saw some 3" blank cdrs at the 99 Cent Store. Sold in a 3-pack with sleeves. Looks like they were marketed to kids, they had the Nickelodeon logo on them. Since the 3" discs are smaller and lighter than regular 5" CDs, if you want to mail a couple of tracks to a friend, the shipping costs might be less.

While you at it, you might want look into: Deepdiscountcd.com MosaicRecords Tower Records (All those places that we shop online.) See if they will give you credits for ads on your website.

I ordered it too.

I think you're right. CDs are treated like cassettes. Plastic disposables. Remember when cassettes were the major seller? They weren't worth much in the secondary market. So in general, the slow CD sellers will be rare to some people in the future. But most of the million sellers won't be worth much. The Mosaics sets sold less 5000 each, so they were limited. Even some of those box sets have been re-issued or copied by foriegn labels and sold cheaper.

If you're on BMG music, you can get it for $27.99 with free shipping. Use code "C6STC4"

If you can't wait for yourmusic.com BMG has a code for free shipping for 5 cds or more. (which the Miles box set has 6 CDs) You can get the : Billie Holiday The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes (6 -CD) metal box $27.99 Chicago - Chicago At Carnegie Hall (Expanded & Remastered) (4-CD) $17.99 "C6STC4"

I guess Arons forgot about ebay. Good for you.

Seems like the postal workers have been keeping a few others, too. 1 or 2 shipments a year don't arrive. (But BMG has always sent replacements in a timely manner - a month later)

I think the title and poll should mention BEAR FAMILY RECORDS.

I saw this Mosiac box set available at Secondspin.com You might want to check with them to be sure the box and booklet is included.

I just tried the search for Miles Davis and noticed the NEW email feature. The BMG site has this feature too. What else should we look for??? Any Blue Note RVGs?
