Mo Fi box sets


I have seen some Mo Fi box sets advertized at extremely high prices. Are these prices reasonable. One person has the Beatles box (By the way I think the Japanese EMIs blow away the MoFi) for $1200 and its NOT even a low serial number. There is a hole in the wall dealer near me who has 3 or 4 sealed box sets with low serial numbers and he only wants $400 for each set. If people will really pay this amount, I should obviously grab these.

Guess it depends on the whims of the marketplace. I was able to purchase the Sinatra box set on eBay a couple of weeks ago for $ 350, including shipping. Amazingly enough...it is in mint condition (except for a tiny scuff mark on the 3rd LP)...AND it is pressing number 25 (yes, twenty five!!). I guess the problem was the description (the seller did not use the right Goldmine terminology, and said they were in very good condition - though they were really Mint to Mint Minus). Not only that, the seller was kind enough to send me a present of several CDR he recorded off of other MoFi LP's (beautifully done on gold CDR's, with color reproductions of the labels, etc). Sometimes you get lucky (or are treated fairly...)
BTW - Anyone know what a mint UHQR copy of Crime of the Century is worth these days?
