Making More Expensive Bundles?

Is this accurate? I have had a couple of books on my wish list for some time waiting for the day that I could save up and get them. They are Acts: An Exegetical Commentary (3 vols.) at $129.99 and Acts: An Exegetical Commentary, vol. 4 at $59.99.

I was going through my wish list today and noticed that you can no longer buy the first three vols. as a collection. You can, however, buy the first two vols. as a collection for $159.99 (yes, that is right. 33% less for 23% more.). Then, you can add on vols. three and four at $79.99 each for a whopping total of $319.97.

Or, you can get the amazing Logos collection deal: all four vols. for $269.99. An $80 premium. Or, a savings in this new Logos 8 world of $50.

Am I missing something?

    I don’t see the 3-volume set. Perhaps it’s been withdrawn?

    that seems accurate.  I see only the 4 volume set, or volume 3 and volume 4 seperately.  I know this set has changed price and ways its offered a few different times. A few forum threads on the series are below.  I would contact Logos Sales team to see if/what they could do.  Baker is notorious to be stingy with price and offerings, including in what they will allow Logos to do or not do.  Sorry about that.

    I like Apples.  Especially Honeycrisp.

    The only reason I saw it is because it is part of my wish list where the buy button is greyed out. Otherwise, it will not show up in a search.

    They are Acts: An Exegetical Commentary (3 vols.) at $129.99 and Acts: An Exegetical Commentary, vol. 4 at $59.99.

    Those prices are very close to the pre-pub prices. Vol 1 & 2 were $72.00 the pair. Volumes 3 & 4 were $54 each. The prices you quoted would make volumes 1-3 $4 over the pre-pub price and volume 4 $5.00 over pre-pub. These prices seem unusually close to pre-pub. Were they in some very special sale when you put them on your wish list?

    The current $270 price is $90 over pre-pub, which is not an unreasonable increase over the pre-pub price. I believe someone reported that price is a reduction from what the volumes were listed for a short time ago.

    There is no question this is a pricey set.
