You mean there are crooks in the Jazz World :o

Nautuliso seems to be a rather good one at that game!

Watched his eBay items when they were up and rather marveled at the amount of rare albums he was offering for auction.

Glad I was past my vinyl buying days when his LPs showed up! In any case the prices were way over my means :mellow:

On the opposite end: just scored the Don Cherry Mosaic for $40!!!

The availability of 'Where Is Brooklyn' as a Conn has probably dented the value of that set (on CD - I'm sure the vinyl is still strongly in demand).

Great set to have, nevertheless !

Indeed, and I even had all three albums in their Conn/RVG editions, but why pass up a chance to throw another black box in the row?

Though I did just see one go for just over $100 on ebay the other day.

86 Blues 78s for $990. Blues greats like Isham Jones and Paul Whiteman. Can't say I spotted anything worth more than a buck or two.

Just to be clear, this is the listing/Buy It Now price, not what it sold for!

I honestly wonder what people are thinking at times on ebay, and here's a great example: Beatles Mono box set, $1,000.00 just because it is a first edition. :rfr

Seriously, why????????????? Proof of seomthing I don't get.

There's all sorts of crazy sellers out there who ask for the moon, but that doesn't mean they necessarily get a bite. (The $1,700 NKC Mosaic is one of the more recent examples.) Looks like this person hasn't sold any of his copies.

It also looks like a pretty good scam. According to his own Q&A, you can't tell it's a 1st edition until you open it and inspect some printed serial number on the CDs. By then you've already broken the seal and can't return it, and its collector value diminishes.

The five CD T-Bone Walker Mosaic is now at $686 with two days left. Wow!

That's obscene. And I think it's 6 CDs.

What's on that Mosaic? I thought it was just the Black & White and Capitol material, which is just a 3 CD set.

MG

It has the Rhumboogie and Imperial recordings as well.

After all these years, I'm surprised that there still is eBay craziness.

The days of people tearing their hair out to get a copy of "True Blue" (Tina Brooks) and the JRVG of "Blue Train" (by, err ....) ought to be long gone, after all the re-re-reissues. And I still don't know why there is all the fuss about original Blue Note LPs.

I still remember getting a CDr of the "Blue Train" JRVG from a friend, playing it once, and then parking it on a shelf someplace. I've never dug it out since, lol. (It was temporarily OOP at the time.)

There was far too much impatience in the late 90s about CDs.

Admittedly in good nick they do sound very, very good on a half-way decent turntable, however the prices of late are ridiculous.

Anyone wanting the vinyl would get much better bang for buck with something like the Music Matters 2x45rpm sets.

Really crazy! That slice on the box spine looks bad!

This CD set usually sells in the $600 range.

I really want to find this set - at a reasonable price!

$600 would be the high end of the range on eBay. I've seen mint ones go for as little as $350. One just sold a week ago for $380.
