The days when Mosaic had their 20% sales.

[Hardbopjazz]

It's been at least 2 years since Mosaic has had their 20% off sale. Did they totally stop doing this? I always made sure to pick up at least 1 set during that time.

Why don't you ask Mosaic?

I'm guessing they don't need them anymore, since the Selects seem to be such good sellers and give them a pretty good cash flow. I recently got the Brookmeyer set, #3405. Now I know that we don't get these in order and so on, but I suspect that this relatively high number after only a year indicates that this one is a good seller.

The last 20% sale must be about 4 years ago now. Their last couple of sales have been (1) 10% off and (2) free shipping, I believe.

I did ask them. I received an email back, that they have no plans on running a sale at any point.

That's me bankrupted then..

Well, there's the answer to the question in your first post if they totally stopped doing this, then.

[Hardbopjazz]

Yes and no. Why not do one? You should see an increase in sales.

a) Mosaic is not a humanitarian effort.

b) They seem to be quite comfortanle with what they have, so ...

Seemed to me that the Mosaic sales were a result of an attempt to better manage inventory, and yes, optimize cash flow. I'm guessing they have got the typical pattern of sales down to a science by now and I'm guessing it's big sales at the beginning of a release cycle followed by stagnation for months, then a jump in volume once it hits the running low status. There's no sense in pressing sets and have them occupy warehouse space when they don't sell as fast as new releases or endangered sets.

I think the sales were intended to clear out stagnant inventory. Once that was accomplished, there's no need to incentivize sales as new releases and endangered sets sell themselves.

To embellish, sales are there for a reason and if there isn't the reason, well, then....

Bummed I missed the sales. (Where was I?)

Glad Mosaic is still around.

I guess it evens out.

That 20% LP set sale was the best. A great time to stock up on the 'Miles' sets.

I prefer the $5/CD discounts during these "Mosaic-True Blue-cooperation"-sales.

A Classic Records LP for only $24.90!!!

It would be ever so slightly better than 20% off, and a very narrow targeted sale at that, but I'd love it if they did a buy the Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions and get 1 Select for free. It would be just the push I (and several others here) need.
