Lee Konitz - Motion 3 CD set Verve Elite Edition

I found myself playing the released stuff and stopping when I got to the bonus material. I wasn't much of a fan of the extra tracks without Elvin Jones, especially the partial tracks at the beginning of disc 2.

I've only spun the whole thing (the burns I have) about 3-4 times -- and I had a similar experience with the bonus CD's the first time I put them on.  But then the next time through, I was a lot more positive about them (very specifically remember that).  3rd and 4th times I'm not sure if I remember anything specific about them (pro or con).  So I guess the jury's still a little bit out for me, and I would likely give the entire thing a few more spins before I dropped more than $35 on one.  That said, I still am on the lookout for one.

A used copy of the 3cd expanded version just sold on Dusty Groove — less than a hour after it was listed online — for $60.

More than I want to pay, but I guess if it sold that fast, then I suppose it’s priced right with what the market will bear.

Not sure what I already said upthread, but I’d be happy if I ever found one for $40, give or take $5.

FWIW, the set is offered at $60 + $4.99 domestic US shipping on discogs, so that DG price is consistent. (Based on a limited sample. 😄)

I’m pretty positive DG uses Discogs to help with their pricing decisions — can almost prove it, but I’ll have to dig around to find the example I saw that led me to that conclusion.

Ok, found it — proof(?) that DG at least consults Discogs…

Why the hell does DG have this priced at $25??!!

When it seems to sell for a HELL of a lot less than that based on this Discogs listing history (and I just bought one in St. Louis for $6 several months ago)…

Well, because the very same (exact) release with a SLIGHTLY different cover (same label though) has THIS pricing history on Discogs…

OK, not quite the “smoking gun” I was remembering — but, still, I can so easily see their pricing worker-bee looking up the one without ANY sales history, and figuring “hell, I guess it’s pretty rare, let’s try $25” — without realizing there was an entirely separate entity (which does NOT have the same root ‘master’ record — so they look like different releases on Discogs, but they’re exactly the same).

At least that’s the entirety plausible story I saw unfold in my head, as I was puzzling over why the heck I’d just found one for $6, and here DG’s trying to get $25 for one.

you are correct. Sometimes they price using the wrong edition, as you have noted.
