    My collection has been missing these for a while and I've decided to start getting all of them. Where is the best place to look for them??

    I just checked Amazon again and there are some good prices if you will buy used.

    County Sales had them all a few months back at half the price we'd have to pay for them in the UK. Only the size & weight prohibits me from importing them,i'm certainly not paying nearly $200 apiece #for each set over here,

    Darn. I would have suggested cdwolf.com for good prices on Bear Family collections, but according the notice I see there now, they've had some kind of falling out. So, in their absence, County Sales has always been good to me.

    The best price I have found was on ebay from the CDWolf guy in SC. He's cheap on shipping too. County would be next best price. Every once and awhile you will see a used on on ebay.

    from the CDWolf website:

    Welcome to CD Wolf Music!

    It's been a great 8 years for us. We are deeply grateful to all our loyal customers worldwide who supported us in our pioneering efforts to sell Bear Family products online. We couldn't have done it without you!

    Unfortunately we are at the end of the road with Bear Family because their intransigent attitude has left us no choice but to stop selling their products. We returned all our remaining inventory to them and no longer have any Bear Family items in stock although we may occasionally stock a selected boxset or two. As a possible alternative supplier, we recommend Caiman.com - probably the best of the remaining online sellers.

    I have all of the Monroe boxed sets and I got them from County Sales. Their prices are reasonable and their delivery is quick. They occasionally run specials on their boxed sets so you may want to inquire as to whether there are any coming up in the near future.

    I highly recommend County Sales. Been dealing with them for over 30 years and the service and reviews they do are first rate.

    CDWolf was the cheapest; second best is County Sales. Ebay has them often as well.
