"When new, these sets cost an average of $25-$30 per LP times the number of LPs in the box set [i.e., a 4 LP set was $100-120, etc]"

That statement is not true. The early Mosaic sets were priced at something like $10 per LP.

By "new" they probably mean "sealed boxes on eBay." Though if you adjust for inflation, maybe that's how much Mosaic boxes in 1984 or whatever cost in 2010 dollars...

Well, I don't know what bonehead imposed the rules on the Pop Market web site, but it won't allow me to even view the listing of this box set without having an account, which I signed up for but never received an email back, which means my account is "not active" and I'm SOL.

To all those who were successful in signing up, you've got less than 25 minutes left!!!

Yah, these guys want $2,000 for the first two Commodore volumes used, whereas all 3 volumes sealed sold for $1,100 a month ago, as documented on the eBay thread.

I'd say you're right.
