Mo Fi box sets

$1200 for a MoFi Beatles Box is just obscene. $400 is pretty reasonable, as it is a pretty good product overall, with two egregious exceptions - MMT and the White Album. Dogs, both of 'em. I preferentially reach for the good 'ol Japanese red monos when I'm in a Beatles frame of mind, and the German stereo-mix MMT over the MoFi set. But I pull them out once in a while for the "stereo" experience.

I think the Japanese stereo issues are superb. I sold my Beatles MoFi set years ago for about $250. Sometimes I'm not sure whether people are hoping for a sucker or really don't know what they cost. In general I think MoFi pressings aren't as good as rheir reputation. That and putting out crap that nobody would want to buy caused their demise.

when it comes to selling collectible items or other items that are no longer produced only one thing determines price, what someone is willing to pay for it, not what others like it have gone for in the past, not what that one you saw go for $xx with only a little wear, not what is fair, not even what the almight "guy around the corner" sells it for. What a collector is willing to pay is all it is worth. $1200 for Mofi to high? probably but not if someone is willing to pay it.

Please do not make any requests for these box sets. I don't have time t oanswer them all.
