  1. Sorry, Tom, but I don't have the money to be debating the merits of who I should be buying my jazz box sets from.

    If I was buying house insurance, or taking out a mortgage, I would be looking for something other than the best deal. For jazz cds, I'm sorry...if the retailer who is offering the product delivers the item as described to me, I've gotten what I paid for.

    If Mosaic is unwilling to seek legal action against these sellers, why should I feel any different!!?! It's there responsibility to prevent these outfits from illegally selling their products, not my responsibility to refuse buying them. How do I know their stolen!?!?! Because someone on the board said so!?!?!

    Prove to me that I am liable for buying a box set from an private Ebay seller, and I'll think otherwise. I'd think that this was Ebay's problem to sort out, not mine!

  2. Fair enough. I won't argue about where they came from, but for people who can't necessarily afford Mosaic prices (and shipping!), I'll gladly take the discount. I need not worry about their origins, only that they aren't ripping me off. That may not be very diplomatic, but it's how I must proceed until I earn an income that supports excess music purchases.

    On the other hand, I would hate to see these matters significantly burden Mosaic business to the point that they would eventually have to close operations. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice at this time. My budget is tight, and if I want the music I must look for the best possible deal.

    I don't really think it's the consumer's job to differentiate between who is selling the product. Rather, it's the manufacturer's job to eliminate these choices by ensuring these back-room deals don't take place.

  3. Does anyone have recommendations regarding who I should be using and when I should be booking flights?

    I'm obviously looking for the best deal! So far United is $499 return, but there is going to be significat add-ons (taxes, service fees) because they are a U.S. airline, and I live in Canada.

  4. Hi Folks,

    Since you guys are better than Fodders by a long shot, I was wondering what recommendations you have for Paris.

    Carla and I are thinking about a trip in late-October or early-November. Is this a bad time of year to be going there?

    Any help that you good folks can provide would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

  5. "War of the Worlds" by Spielberg.

    And also...not really summer, but I hope "The Interpreter" by Sydney Pollack is thought-prevoking.

    "Kingdom of Heaven" was a flick I wanted to see badly, but I saw a trailer last night that portrayed it as a love story. I want to see battle sa la "Gladiator." Surprisingly, the new "Batman" looks interesting as well.
