@Paul and others, WHY? Why do you want Barnes so badly?
I'm working on a potential blog post for Barnes and want your input.

Top 5 reasons that I wouldn't add in your blog post
- I'm tired of just talking to Matthew Henry- It would be pennies on the dollar when it ships- Spurgeon gave us permission to like it - I seem to have more than enough free copies of just the NT notes on "other" Bible software- Its been so long!
...sorry that doesn't really help; Any others??
Thomas Black:Why do you want Barnes so badly?
Maybe, because it is there? That seems to be a favorite of mountain climbers. Why do people climb mountains? Because they're there.

I like his devotional thoughts. He also has a reasonable amount of helpful application to 19th century life - and by default to ours (hey, the Bible is even older and we have not problem using it - even recognizing the authority of the author). I do find myself going to a competing product regularly to skim/read Barnes. Having Barnes available in LOGOS could stop this bad habit.

I've seen that said a few times now. That's not truly the case, is it? I'm not in front of my computer with e-sword at the moment, but I'm almost positive that the free e-sword module has both OT and NT.

OK, you got me. Not every Bible software but the two others I have tried give you just the NT for free. Back to "Barnes On The Move"
A VOTE FOR WHYTE (MEANS YOU CAN ALSO PUT YOUR BID DOWN) IS A VOTE FOR BARNES.

It's hard to say why I enjoy Barnes so much. In Esword I have 22 commentaries. If I'm quickly trying to study something I go to Calvin, Poole and Barnes to see what they say. Barnes just has a way of saying it that makes it feel more like I'm having a conversation with a pastor instead of having a theologian tell me what they think. I have Barnes notes in the Word, Esword yet I bid 90 dollars for it because I enjoy it that much. I hope to some day by the paper edition of it too because it is a commentary I love to sit back in a comfortable chair and read. I don't know if that helps you with your post but that is why I enjoy Barnes so much.
In Christ,

So, how can you tell that Barnes is at 60%?
Actually looks closer to 70% now... you can see it from the graph on the community pricing page.
http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/2132
Yes, it has shifted again and is almost straddling to the two lines. In overall perspective, Barnes has made huge moved in the last few months compared to the many months before. It seems everyone is mainly bidding around the $30 mark, which is making it go very slow for this 10,000 page resource. If everyone would bid $40, it would more go more quickly over the top and more than likely sell for $30 or less anyhow do to the last rush crowd.
Barnes has become a bit of a landmark on the Logos website!

After reading this blog post on Community Pricing, I maxed out my bid.

Levi - That is a great post from the past by Phil Gons. Thanks for refreshing it.
How to ask for help
You're welcome, I should have said more in my post.
What Phil Gons pointed out was basically that Community Pricing is counter-intuitive. We naturally want to bid for the lowest price, but it doesn't work the best that way. The more people who bid higher, the lower the price is driven for everyone. Since you can cancel your bid at any time, even afterwards when it goes pre-pub, there's no reason not to just max out your bid!
I read that blog a little while ago, but didn't do anything afterwards. I've now pushed my Community pricing bids up to the maximum. Once community pricing offers get close to 100% the price always drops dramatically anyway.

garry Hill:When a bid is placed on a community resource or especially if a resource has enough bids but they are all or mostly too low, can you send an email stating the pitfalls of low bidding and the protection that they can always with draw the bid at the last minuets.
With Barnes it might be a good idea for Logos to email those who placed low bids. It's been such a long time that they may have forgotten and the recent trend upward should be a good motivator. Perhaps Logos could email all with a range of options:-
I've noticed that the $25 position has been on a consistent rise as of late but the high mark really hasn't moved...
I thought this thread was going to be about Mark Barnes switching to Accordance
