i have taken the mlb computer package directly from mlb for perhaps 10 years for about $14/yr. i consider it one of the great values in sports. I agree! I did that a few years ago- but XM now allows me to take it anywhere- I drive alot for my job- makes it very enjoyable.

Sounds nice- would love to see a photo of it!

Viaduct? Why would I like to Viaduct? I have chickens........

I'm enjoying the heck out of it- and I haven't finished CD 1 in Box 1!

I have XM mainly for the MLB package since my favorite sport is baseball. I really enjoy it since I live in the "country" and can't pick up many radio stations- certainly not the Richmond sports stations- but I can get WFAN and WCBS out of NY on my Zenith Black Dial tombstone c. 1938. But I wish I had Sirius for the NFL, the Springsteen channel and the Grateful Dead channel.

I'm living in my dream home! But if I could buy another: it would be a beach house in Duck, North Carolina, on the Outer Banks.

"Aggie" is the school name for Texas A&M University. Frankly- I have no idea what an "Aggie" is- and I use the term alot in discussing sports.

I've seen that more than once in Richmond- actually going to a convenience store.

I just started reading this thread.....I remember buying the Complete RCA box and thinking that it would be great to get the (hopefully) complete output of Duke....then I bought the Mosaic Capitol and Reprise sets....then realized that I'll need much more money and time than I can afford......so I gave up on that endeavor. The only think I have left is the RCA box because I've only listened to a third of it. I'd like to get a healthy dose of Columbia recordings- does anyone have a suggestion? I'll also start poring through this thread for ideas.

I'm sure more- I haven't wrapped it yet, in case someone wants additional pictures. .......I wrap in a few layers of bubble wrap and then a few layers of heavy duty paper over that- it tends to gain weight fast. I try to be conservative in my mail estimates- the worst thing I can do is give an estimate that's lower than the actual cost. that happened one time and I charged the person the estimated cost (to be fair)......on the other hand if the actual is lower that the estimate, then the buyer will be happy. I don't sell alot on ebay so I have the time to work with potential buyers.

Mine arrived today- thank you Allen! As an added bonus- in the bottom of the box crumpled in an old receipt was a 1,000,000 dollar bill......my heart raced for second, but alas it was a fake 1,000,000 dollar bill. Bummer.

Excellent!! I hope they're not juveniles but adults.

MG- that's a good point- I haven't checked FedEx......I will ship whatever method the winning bidder wishes me to do. Someone from the UK requested an estimated shipping cost- thus the question. USPS was the cheapest and that's what I've used in the past. When I completed the customs papers for a UK address, I asked what value they wish for me to declare. I was shipping Mosaic sets. I haven't had a problem as long as I work with the buyers, which I'm more than willing to do.

Ok- thanks everyone for your comments and views! USPS it is! Mike

It's the Bill Evans Complete Riverside Recordings- the cube set, not the 12x12 large box. I estimated the weight to be 2 lbs and the worth to be $150.00, to obtain an estmated cost; either could be less.

I have a box set on Ebay- I was asked for a quote to ship it to the UK. USPS seems the best option, starting at $17.00 and the next level is about $28.00. Any thoughts/suggestions on what you've used?

I'm waiting for the Miles' On The Corner box set!!

What a nightmare that is.....when I last moved- friends didn't bitch about the furniture they had to lift- it was the boxes of LPs I had.

The short time I listened to it- someone referred to the "post-sessions" (post season), 1919 Black Hawks (Black Sox) and they got Palmiero's name wrong. What a joke......Congress should have done their homework. Half of them didn't know crap about baseball- there should have been a quiz before you were allowed to ask questions to Fehr and Selig.

I caught the beginning on XM and recorded it....I had my 7 yr old daughter with me when the F-bombs came out so I shut off the radiof- I'll listen to it later tonight Couple of questions/observations: - Is it legal to tape the telephone call then play it in public? - Doesn't this sound like a bitter divorce....one spouse saying I'm sorry I hurt you the other saying the wife and kids are devastated? - What little I heard of Clemen's conference this evening- isn't he acting like a bully daring people to challenge him? - Why do I feel like I need a shower after hearing this? I believe Clemens shot up......isn't rage a side effect? I thought he was juiced back in the WS against the Mets when he fired the bat at Piazza then explained he thought it was a ball. He's so BIG now....... Dibble and Kennedy believe Clemens and think the trainer is a rat- I think they're very biased.

Wow- great price- sorry I missed it- that's what happened when I stay away from the computer for awhile...

Isn't it great that the entire human civilization can be distilled into Moe, Larry and Curley I went to (I believe) the first Three Stooges convention in Philly........it was a little strange...

I never tire of listening to Frank...the 12 CD Columbia box is one of the best

Of all the Donna stuff- I don't mind Sunrise on DP3.....geez- that wailing she does on Playing....Band makes my skin crawl! DP3 is probabky one of my favorites......I've starting listening to DP33(?) the Oakland Coliseum shows-Day on the Green? I like it! Anyone ever buy any of THE DEAD shows from 03 or 04? The ones with Joan Osborne? Boy I've been looking for a few of them but no luck. I heard a few and I liked them. BTW- thanks to all of you who replied about downloading- I'm still on dialup- DSL is appearing next week!!

Oh...a Wise Guy! Thanks Dave for the link.......that's what I've been looking for....there's lots of boots out there- I didn't want to buy something inferior.
