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.

To follow up on the 2 sealed Beatles MoFi box sets that the dealer had: They were bought by several foreign collectors. They went for $500 each. They got an additional 10% off for spending over $5000. They totally cleaned the store out of any good rock, blues, jazz or soul. Only modern jazz titles they left were first 2 MJQ on Prestige, Bergen pressing.
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.
Please do not make any requests for these box sets. I don't have time t oanswer them all.
