Stefan Wood Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Did a quick search on Telarc box sets in Amazon -- there's a few at that $6.99 price -- I picked up the Oscar Peterson live at the Blue Note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I ordered a copy... though I just bought three of the albums as cutouts... will pass those on if the box comes through. The three cutouts cost me twice as much as the box now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron S Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 The deal's back up! Well, not quite as good as before, but now Newbury Comics has it for $9.99 (plus $2.98 shipping): http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00...p;condition=new Still a helluva deal.

Make hay while the sun shines! The main Newbury site says this is back-ordered, but the deal is still up on Amazon. I figure it is worth a shot. That occurs fairly often--Newbury's Amazon Marketplace stock and/or price is not always the same as what's reflected on the Newbury site. Also, mine has apparently shipped! Amazon has switched over to a new procedure for most of its Marketplace sellers (including Newbury), so that it doesn't actually charge your credit card--and send you a notice of same--until it has been notified by the Marketplace seller that the item has actually shipped. The order also displays in your order history as "open," and not "completed," until that occurs. I got one of those charging notices from Amazon today, and the order now shows as "completed." This is a significant improvement to the Marketplace system, although Amazon doesn't seem to have done much to publicize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Just got the same notices for both the Garner and the Oscar P.--each shipped at the $6.99 price. Amazing deal...thanks again for the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a significant improvement to the Marketplace system, although Amazon doesn't seem to have done much to publicize it. I'm not sure about that. After the Mosaic debacle, I've had a couple of orders that were charged a week after ordering, and then another ten days later I got a refund, and I still believe that the item listed was never really in stock with the vendors. I guess if a vendor just tells Amazon to charge, they do so, regardless if the vendor actually has shipped the item or not. Refunds, however, have never been a problem for me, I always got them. But it's still a doubtful business practice in my opinion. But back on topic: seems my Garner box is on its way, too! Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 That Peterson is nice... I got mine for about 15€ and thought that was a great deal already... Some may consider there to be too many notes, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron S Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Amazon has switched over to a new procedure for most of its Marketplace sellers (including Newbury), so that it doesn't actually charge your credit card--and send you a notice of same--until it has been notified by the Marketplace seller that the item has actually shipped.

I guess if a vendor just tells Amazon to charge, they do so, regardless if the vendor actually has shipped the item or not. Here's more about the new Amazon Marketplace "Charge When Ship" program: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/dis...8309&sr=1-3 Not sure it applies to all sellers yet, although that appears to be the goal. Also, I think you're right that it's still dependent on the accuracy of the sellers' reports to Amazon that the orders have been shipped. Still, it's definitely an improvement over the old system, and for the sellers from whom I've made recent purchases (Newbury Comics, Import CDs, etc.), it seems to be working.

mr jazz Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 another rec for the Garner set. I bought all those titles individually and the level of musical quality is high. Now if we could only get Concert by the Sea remastered and made complete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neveronfriday Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, Ray! I received mine after having ordered it late and it having to travel all the way across the pond to Germany. It arrived here in pristine condition. Am listening to "Closeup in Swing" right now.

Lush Life Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I just visited the Newbury Comics store in Cambridge Mass near Harvard, and all of the sets in this thread are also found in the racks on sale at the prices mentioned. It's pretty obvious that Newbury Comics bought a bunch of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
