Yeah, a bit extreme. As it happens, I have this as well, and would be happy to part with it for $50 or so (shipping extra).

And it's an Amazon 'Low Item Price'

[Brad]

I hope that's a typo.

[Dan Gould]

Hey, this guy deserves credit for underselling the first guy, who wants $555.55 - and he's underselling him by a lot, more than the cost of a Mosaic Select, with shipping!

[sheldonm]

...cheap at twice the price!

If 32Jazz CDs aren't rare, they should be with those covers...

[Ken Dryden]

A fool and his money soon part...it is hard to imagine any of the 32Jazz CDs selling for more than original list price.

[BFrank]

Pretty insane............but I have it, so maybe I'm RICH!

I also have the Muse vinyl.

I've seen the Altschul and the Kirks go for triple the list price.

[Guest Bill Barton]

Sheesh... Well, yeah, the cover art sucks and the "liner notes" blow, but you have to admit that some of the music most certainly doesn't suck or blow. Whether it's worth two or three times list price is another matter. Maybe the Rahsaans... No, definitely the Rahsaans!

But, even if I had it, I sure as shootin' wouldn't fork over five-hundred smackers for them either.

$500 does seem a bit excessive

Amazon Marketplace Out of Print = $$$. I often wonder if anyone actually buys this grossly overpriced stuff.

I guess with this scam at least you get a CD.

Ironically, I stumbled across some ten year old JazzTimes cleaning yesterday and there was a big ad for 32 Jazz "Now at Best Buy!!! $6.99!!!"

Sure, ten years ago it was $6.99. And indeed I picked up a used copy 3 years or so at $6.99. But the letters OOP do induce a fever trance in some people. And relatively few people bought 32 Jazz issues so when they went OOP they really were scarce.

I've seen some crazy prices on the OJCs that were dropped by the new owners, though here at least nearly everything in the OJC series is still on emusic. And the fact that everything was kept in print for so long tends to keep the prices down.

No disagreement there! I certainly bought a few; I just tend not to look at the cover while listening...
