Maynard Ferguson Mosaic Is Mine!

[Tom 1960]

Congratulate me if you like. I just found the Ferguson Mosaic Roulette on eBay for $230 not including shipping in "like new condition". Yep, all 10 discs including box and booklet. It should be in my possession by the end of next week. Merry Christmas to me!

Thanks John. I feel I made out really well.

That's a pretty good price for that set.  People have been asking absurd prices for it for years. Like $999.   $100 per disk?  I don't think so. There don't seem to be many for sale. I have some files I found so I've heard it but have been looking around for a reasonably priced copy for years. 

My concept of a 'good price' for a Mosaic is somewhere close to the original price, which was maybe $15/disk years back and is now more like $18.  And the market is such that I have often snagged used sets for something in that neighborhood or less.  Recently I got the Buddy Rich set for $35 including shipping!  That one's got to be a record low price for me. A 'reasonable price' for me on a set that is rarer or generally fetches higher prices would be about $20-$22 per disk. Some stay stubbornly high, like the Ferguson.  I don't think I have ever seen one as low as the price you got.

That's fantastic! What are your impressions of that set. Very curious. Thanks for your input on the Ferguson set. I actually sat on that for 24 hours or so taking a chance it would still be available.
