 ***ATTENTION JAZZ FANS I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR BEING SO UNDERSTANDING ABOUT LAST SUNDAY.  IT WAS NOT MY INTENTION TO VIOLATE THE NEW EBAY POSTING RESTRICTIONS AS THE NEW RULE WAS NOT PUT IN PUT IN PLACE UNTIL THE WEEK BEFORE I BEGAN SELLING AGAIN ON EBAY SO I WAS NOT AWARE OF THEIR NEW POLICIES REGARDING THE LISTING OF ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF PAYMENT. I AM VERY MOVED BY YOUR SUPPORT AND THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU ALL HAVE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE EARNED, AND I COMMIT  FULLY TO LIVE UP TO THE TRUST YOU HAVE PLACED IN MY INTEGRITY***  


   FOR AUCTION IS "The Complete Recordings of The Paul Desmond Quartet with Jim Hall" Mosaic box set with 6 lps, and booklet in  Mint condition and the Box I will grade E+, because there is a pressing defect like a pressing bubble which I try to show you in the extra photo I posted.
When  you look at the photo keep in mind I don't know what I am doing and although I made the defect look large so it shows up clearly it is only up at the right corner and only about 1 1/2 inch long and only visible at certain angles, otherwise the box is an easy mint - with NO other defects, tears, writing, or damage to the seams or corners.  Once again however, I ask for my viewers input as to my abilities to post accurate photos. I think I am getting better at it and I would like to know if everyone wants me to post more photos. Please give me input if you have any suggestions and if you need more photos ask and I will try to e-mail you what you are looking to find.   If any  damage or wear exists  on any portion of the box sets I am listing, I will provide an accurate description,sometimes a few words are stronger than the photo. I won't ramble on here.  The music reproduced in this box set  is beautiful and it is easy to see why Mosaic released it and just as easy to see why this set so quickly went out of print. If you are an lp person, spin away and enjoy every facet, the incredible fidelity and the wonderful playing of all the musicians in this quartet.

  Hello again, I am finally returned to eBay after several years hiatus.  I don't know if any of the observers to this posting remember me but I have been a collector of Jazz music for over 28 years now.  When I sold my extra copies on eBay previously  I used to get more money for my records than anyone, because all of my sales came with a 100% guarantee on the accuracy of my grading and description, which meant that I never argued about the return of any records that I sold if they were found not be described accurately.   I also had a reputation of not selling anything less than an occasional  EX - grade  and almost all of my records are Mint or Mint -.  
 
   Now I am posting some of my Mosaic duplicates because I just purchased a large collection and I have to make room on my shelves.  All of the sets that I will be posting are either Mint or sealed cds, and unless otherwise stated the boxes,  jewel cases, inserts and booklet are mint as well.  If the cds are still sealed I will let you know in this description , and if   there is any damage or wear of any kind I will also give you a complete and accurate description. Just to be clear when I say the booklet inside is mint, I mean that it is as white as when it was brand new, and even has the same stiffness and feel of paper that has never been handled.  Of course it goes without saying all of these sets have been stored properly in a smoke free environment that is  not near any heat source or any dampness.  If you want to find anything wrong with these sets, you will have to get out your microscopes or send them to the forensic labs, but then they are in other hands so I would not  suggest it.
    
    I don't think I have to get to involved describing  Mosaics reputation for making excellent reproductions on the sound quality.  You are getting what you pay for as well as the always extra material which is previously unissued as well as the always fantastic photos, and background information for each recording session.  These sets are among the most desirable and sought after sources of this music so win each one and enjoy it for many years.
 
     On a final note I am now adding a  surcharge of $3.00  for shipping and handling to cover the actual shipping charges + materials and not for handling or my time. I will notify each winner separately as to the final shipping  cost, so please do wait for my invoice as I do not know how you want your winnings sent and their is always at least 3 options.  I am not certain why eBay now makes me list a shipping charge so please disregard the cost you see and I will e-mail you the final price.  I have begun to figure out how to do this in advance and I should be pretty close to correct now in the posting the costs,  however to repeat if I am high  or you send me too much money I will refund you any amount you may have over paid before your winnings are shipped, as several of you have already noticed.  I will include delivery confirmation, it is worth the extra 70 cents believe me.  I have shipped records: 12", 10", 45's, and 78's all over the world so I know how to package your gems so they arrive in the same condition they left my shelf which understandably a major issue with us collectors. To win something and have it arrived destroyed because of poor packaging in painful. Unfortunately I will have to add California sales tax if I am shipping your winnings to an address in California.  If you have any questions feel free to  please either e-mail me or skype me, if I am home I will answer any and all questions as long as I have the time before my auctions close. Basically I am a collector like you and I try to treat you as I want to be treated myself.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL,  I HOPE TO MAKE US BOTH VERY HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!
