Billie Holiday '33 - '44 Columbia box

Seeing as this goes usually for at least $130, whoever won this got themselves the deal of the century.

That's the danger of not putting a reserve on an out-of-print desirable boxed set....

Like the time one of the Complete Commodore Mosaic boxes went for $199.

Well, maybe though the subtitle is John Hammond discusses the box set promo. So if it is only a promo disc (a little like the Hank Mobley 45 that Dan got a while back), well not such a great deal. And then when the Definitive version of the Holiday Columbia recordings came out, Amazon was selling it for $25 or so for the first week. So these things do happen.

But yes, when I've sold OOP box sets on eBay I do put a reserve price on, even though the automatic prompts try to discourage you from doing so.

That was a real steal! A box set for only $199.
