Hi all,
I'll be selling my DG Complete Beethoven Editon (87 CDs). I was going to put it up on eBay, but thought I'd give TCers first dibs. If I get a serious offer I may not put it up on eBay at all.
I purchased this set about 15 years ago; ordered directly from Germany.
All booklets, the shelving unit, book and cardboard carrying case included. Overall it is in Good condition. Individually it ranges from Fair to Like New. I recently burned all these CDs onto my computer as Lossless files with no problem. However, one or two may have some (very slight) discrepancy playing on a regular CD player. But I am sending several CDs to a professional company to have them refinished into spanking new playing surfaces. That may well solve the problem. (Receipts will be included) Regardless, I have a sealed replacement CD for the exact same performance that seems to not play perfectly (same label, same artists, just a different packaging).
I can also include a flash drive with all the music uploaded, including cover art! But only as Apple Lossless files.
This set has become quite a rare item apparently. It's currently selling for upwards of $2,500 used: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Beeth.../dp/B000001GZ3 Though I'd wonder about the veracity of the condition listed. (I've actually seen some Sellers claim that no booklets came with the set for instance!) I feel my qualification of 'Good' is imminently fair and accurate.
I also think I'm giving a great deal when I say I'll accept offers of a $1,000 (and even under!) so long as they are legit and immediate.
One thing -- I'd rather not ship to the UK. Unless you want to pay the astronomical fee for this weighty item.
For US buyers, please factor in $25 for UPS Ground shipping and an extra $25 if you want the flash drive.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
