Why is everyone making such a big deal about Catena Aurea? (Or "what's in it for me?")

Yeehaw, we made it! [:)]
Everyone under $18, bump up your bid to 18, and it will go down to 18, and possibly even 16. You'll end up getting it for the lowest price that breaks through the 100% line, even if you bid higher.
We have until Friday, April 16, at 12:00 noon Pacific Time to do this!

It has gone down to $18, can we send it to $16?

Woo hoo! That was fast. It's over 90% already for $16, so I bet we can do it. I bid $40 on it -- it would be awesome to get it for $16. This is probably going to go up to $120 or more once it ships (maybe $60 in pre-pub), so this would be a steal!

Yes, I think this is what I call the feel-good factor of Community Pricing. While others might call it smugness, I disagree because I want everyone to enjoy the benefits of Community Pricing not just me. (Hey, isn't that a good analogy about spreading the gospel through witnessing and preaching? [I])
God grant that we are even more zealous for His Gospel and taking it to others than we are for Community Pricing!
Every blessing

)I suspect that the Prepublication price will be close to $99 and the Logos price after publication will be even higher. Let's see if we can get it down to $16 for this collection. You can place your bid at: http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/5216
Also, The Christian’s Daily Walk, by Henry Scudder is currently at 100% for only $7 in Community Pricing. You can place your bid at: http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/6090
In addition, William Burt Pope’s 3-volume Compendium of Christian Theology is also at 100%. This work is currently at $10. You can place your bid at: http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/5664
This means that the only work in Community Pricing that has not reached 100% is the 14-volume commentary on the entire Bible (KJV), verse-by-verse from Genesis through Revelation written by Albert Barnes and James Murphy. Unless Logos adds something else, this will be the only work left in Community Pricing after Friday 4/16/2010 at Noon Pacific Time. Put your bid on the Barnes set at: http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/2132
Is this the end of Community Pricing?

I doubt it. On the Logos.com jobs page there is a listing for a position which has the responsibility of posting Pre-Pubs and Community Pricing titles. They probably just are focused on other things instead of procuring new CP titles.

Such as Logos 4 (incl Mac), and all the titles from Zondervan and Baker.

Sounds like a great deal to me!
I have just begun to study early church history and have bought a few of the ACCS volumes, as they seemed like such a cool idea -- so this is right up my alley.

That was easy! The $16 price has been achieved. Now let's conqueror $14.[:D]

Thanks for that Rosie... I've now taken a trip over to community pricing and bid on what was there. Thanks for clarifying the whole idea of it!

Well, well, well! I just investigated Community Pricing yesterday because of the blog post, and I'm amazed at what I'm about to order for $16 or less. My bids are in. Count me in, every time. These prices I can afford!

Great idea! I just did. Cool that you can set up a bit.ly link with whatever name you want (assuming it isn't taken yet). I thought it was always random.

$14. And I bid $34.
Yet I'm getting it for $14.
THANK YOU for shouting about Community Pricing. What a great concept! It's a win-win for everyone.
Here's a book suggestion I made a long time ago, that really, really deserves to be in Logos, esp. since it's out of print and hard to obtain at a good price:
http://www.amazon.com/Comprehensive-Etymological-Dictionary-Language-Readers/dp/0029174317/
A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language for Readers of English by Ernest Klein
I bought a new copy at Half-Price Books many years ago (and should have grabbed the second copy - they were only $19.98 each).
About the author from the back cover of book:
Ernest David Klein (1899-1983) was born in Szatmar in the eastern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Romania). In 1925 he earned the title of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Vienna. His specialized fields were Semitic languages and literature, Romance languages and literature, and Philosophy. In 1931 he became Rabbi of Nove Zamke in the former Czechoslovakia. Here he remained until deported by the Nazis in World War II, first to Auschwitz and later to the concentration camp Allach-Dachau. He was liberated by American Troops in 1945. His father, wife, only son and two of his three sisters had perished in the extermination camps. After the Holocaust he returned to his birthplace, but shortly afterwards he went to Paris, and finally moved to Canada in 1951. Here he was able to devote himself to the projects he had started earlier in Europe.
For the next 20 years Dr. Klein devoted himself to the study of the history of the English language. Since English has roots in some forty spoken and extinct languages, and Klein had mastered these languages, he was uniquely qualified to compile his comprehensive etymological dictionary of the English language, which was the most exhaustive of its kind at the time. The next ten years of his life he devoted to: A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language for Readers of English.
Rabbi Dr. Ernest Klein was considered an eminent language scholar and lexicographer.
Additional Info from preface: The book was written by Rabbi Dr. Ernest Klein. The 10 year writing and then publishing were sponsored collectively by Arthur and Beatrice Minden. Manuscript was edited and published at the University of Haifa. The editors were Professor Aharon Dolgopolsky, Dov Benhorin, and finally the prominent editor and translator Baruch Sarel (who added over 2500 additional entries to the work). Foreword by eminent philologist Professor Haim Rabin of the Hebrew University and the Hebrew Language Academy.
Dr. Ernest Klein has been granted the "Order of Canada" award for one of his previous works, and two honorary doctorates from Canadian Universities.Optimistically Egalitarian (Galatians 3:28)

Thanks! I would humbly accept if it were offered to me. [:)]
$14 feels like practically free though, now that I see what the latecomers are going to have to pay for it through pre-pub (over 4 times as much!)
