Should I take this deal or not?

I registered for school and signed up for academic pricing. Just for the fun of it, I wanted to see what it would cost to get the Biblical Languages base package, since it was not available for me as a non-student. This is the deal I get:

I'm thinking, "how can I pass this up?!?"

I guess FL are looking to long term users to support them in their time of need :-)

The Biblical Languages base package has long been a thorn in the flesh of Logos' offerings. It stands in a world of its own and differs in approach to the kind of dynamic pricing one normally gets with other products and base packages. I think it was designed to be a one-stop purchase option to compete with competitors product that also targeted seminarians. Most of us who have looked at it and contemplated the thought of upgrading in order to get missing resources have long renounced to do so.

I eventually got all the resources in this package through various purchases. It's certainly worth having for serious students of the Word.[8-|]

I got a similar offer on March Madness. The Works of N. T. Wright consists of 48 books. I have 41 of them. The offer I was made for the extra 7 books was:

cost if bought separately $ 59.10.

Exclusive offer to me: $ 152.89.

I feel really exclusive. I thought I was in a category of my own but now I see others are as exclusive as I am. 👿👹

I've just got another great deal - also with our March Madness winner, N.T. Wright. The Christian Origins collection. I have 3 out of the 4 volumes. I'm just lacking Paul and the Faithfulness of God which if I buy it separately will cost me $24.00. But I can get an exclusive deal on it for $75.79

Another great deal! Word Biblical Commentary. I have 58 of 62 volumes. I can get the 4 missing volumes for $175.96 if I buy them separately. Or I can buy the set and get the additional four books for $1,199.99

I know on WBC they can't do dynamic pricing because it is a Zondervan title, so that is the reason on that one at least.

I guess that stereotype that theology students can't do math still persists.😏

So that's why my son-in-law switched his major from ThB to BRE? He teaches math [:P]

I heard back from FL...

For whatever reason, this package doesn't have dynamic pricing either, hence the humor.

Ah, I actually didn't realize that it was not attempting to give me dynamic pricing. The price is due to my academic discount, which I assumed wouldn't apply to a package already made for students (I assumed it was special pricing). I thought the small discount was a result of some broken attempt at dynamic pricing. That makes sense!
