trane_fanatic Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) In keeping with my tradition of receiving jazz news in a tardy manner, I just found out this week the PN set is outta print. Hate it when that happens. It is one of the last portions of the MD catalog I don't yet possess in my collection and had never gotten around to picking up. Anybody of you guys have one to dispose of for a decent price? I tried eBay already and they are asking for an arm and a leg along with an ear too. Please PM me if you do. Doing an archive search dug up one thread with a similar request to mine, so I know I wasn't the only one. Thanks folks! Edited June 14, 2007 by trane_fanatic Quote

PS - I don't know the seller. Quote
J Larsen Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 I was just going to link the same thing. But frankly I do think $200 (roughly two bucks to the pound) is a bit steep. Quote

Exactly, Jan. How are you, by the way? Haven't chatted since we found out about the Wash days. Hope all is well. Thanks anyways, guys. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 Looks like the last few on Ebay have gone for about $90-$125 or so (with one lucky Buy-It-Now of $49.99), so I'd agree that $200 is on the high side. There's one on Amazon for $49.99 too....IF you don't mind the fact that it's missing Discs 7 & 8. Quote

How are you, by the way? Haven't chatted since we found out about the Wash days. Hope all is well. Thanks anyways, guys. Things are pretty good. Really busy with my job, but not as busy as I was when I was in grad school, teaching and consulting all at once. Are you still in SF? I may be back out there in a few weeks. I try to spend a few days there a year. Ran into Ying Sun a couple trips back, if you remember him. He's an attorney now. Quote

Hmm, I wonder if Sony Music Dist. has some Discs 7 & 8 lying around like Mosaic does with its sets sometimes. Otherwise, absolute steal. I wouldn't count on it.

I'll PM ya in a few days. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 The complete set was available for about 15 years. Not bad. Quote
J Larsen Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 True. At the same time, there are tons of sets that were available for a long time that I never got because my financial situation sucked the whole time - the Kirk Mercury box, the Clifford Brown Emarcy box and countless Mosaics are all in that group. Fortunately I was able to get great prices on all the Miles boxes. Quote
etherbored Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 $106.00 is quite reasonable for factory sealed... Quote
trane_fanatic Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 $106.00 is quite reasonable for factory sealed... Yea, a fellow board member pointed that out to me yesterday. It would have been nice if it were a valid link. Quote

etherbored Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 i see. when you attempt to put it in your shopping cart it gives the error message of no longer being available. that's lame. if they're unable to sell it, it shouldn't display as being available... Quote
alppila Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 I'm happy to consider any offers people might have for my set. I'm not keen on eBay selling and the thing is still sitting here. For what it's worth, I did check all the online avenues I could think of before setting the price at £100 (which was cheaper than any of them by some way). It wasn't my intention to profiteer but I did pay £85 for this in a UK high street chain, so a £15 mark-up for a rare item didn't seem that unreasonable... Quote

For those who might be interested, £100 = about $198 or €148 at the current exchange rates. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) On Thursday, one sold on Ebay for $100, and another for $157. Then yesterday one was sold for $85.00 on a "Buy It Now". edited for mangled sentence. Edited June 17, 2007 by Aggie87 Quote
J Larsen Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 On Thursday, one sold on Ebay for $100 on Friday, and another for $157. Then yesterday one was sold for $85.00 on a "Buy It Now". Hopefully TF (an old HS classmate!) got one of those. Hey, I won't disparage anyone for asking whatever price they want for something they own. But I'm also going to point it out (especially to a friend) when certain prices are over or under market. That being said, if you try hard enough you can probably find someone that will fork over $200 for the set. Quote

By the way, Jan... check your PM. Edited June 18, 2007 by trane_fanatic Quote
trane_fanatic Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Meanwhile, over on Amazon, the set missing the last 2 discs has gone from $50 to $250 (more that some folks are asking for the complete box). That makes a lotta sense. Edited June 18, 2007 by trane_fanatic Quote
jlhoots Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Come on! If you want it pay for it. Today's retail is tomorrow's wholesale (most of the time). Quote
WD45 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 I found a way dusty copy in a brick & mortar after I discovered that it was OOP. Tried ordering from Amazon, but it was cancelled. If you go to a Borders they may be able to get stock from another location... I was just listening to disc 7 on Sunday. You must own this set. Quote
trane_fanatic Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Posted July 2, 2007 $106.00 is quite reasonable for factory sealed... They still haven't taken that thing down yet! Grrrrr....... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Y'all may fairly call me a tool for not upgrading from my Japanese LPs when this fucker was around for... not very much $$, as I recall it. Wonder what the chance is of it being repressed in a limited batch yet again? Quote
