    Conversely, myself, almost never, and certainly not in the last 12 months. #bargainhound

    Intrigued by the question.

    My purchasing strategy is to buy what I need when I have the money to pay the asking price.

    To only buy what I want in moments of weakness or when I see it at a really bargain price.

    (Alway cognisant that by harvesting to the edge of the field I might be driving good folk into poverty.)

    Reflecting on that and my most recent "full price purchase".

    One of the things I do is grade assignments submitted by students studying via distance learning. I was doing that recently and there was a reference to a resource I didn't have but wanted to check on. I realised it would be useful to have anyway, found it in Logos and purchased it.

    And I was reminded again of one of the benefits of electronic, downloadable, resources (and this doesn't just apply to Logos) is that they are available  immediately.

    Thinking about it... that may have also been what happened to prompt my last "full purchase price" item. [:)]

    Yep. If I need/want a resource for a current project, I purchase it because I never know when a sale is coming. Sales sometimes make me purchase what I may need sometime in the future—Being 82 that may not be a viable/intelligent strategy [;)] Oh well, my grandson will thank my memory [:P]

    yes, multiple times. There are many times when I am looking for a specific resource for a specific need I have at that moment and the resource isn't on sale. If I don't need the item today but want it in general I will add it to wish lists and check there (or get a sales email) to see what's on sale at any particular time.

    I skimmed my purchase history for the last 3 years and it appears the only time I pay full price is when I have a timely, compelling reason (e.g. required text for a Seminary class). The most recent was 13 months ago.

    It's very likely in my case.

    Yes.  Actually, No!  I have paid full-price for items, but not in the last six months.

    Thanks for all the replies.

    The reason for my question is the constant sales by Logos. I don't mind these.

    Many of us who upgraded to Logos 8 were challenged to buy new libraries. Wow! How cheap were some of these offers.

    Then there is the free book each month, and the almost free books each month.

    This month I was able to purchase a commentary on Zechariah ... again not full price. I used my birthday discount.

    Keep expanding your Logos library.

    I hardly ever pay full price but I have on occasion.

    Yes, I have.  If I need it, and believe the resource is worth the price, I will buy it.  Of course, having built my library over two decades, I find I need to buy less than I used to need.  However, I still find new resources coming out that I think I need.

    My first choice is always to have a resource in Logos, but if Logos does not offer a product, I occasionally will purchase it elsewhere in another format.

    Has anyone paid FULL PRICE for a Logos resource

    Absolutely.

    One of the things I figured out over time is, I spend less $$ paying full price for a specific resource I need than using the shotgun approach buying bundles filled with stuff I don't really need to get one or a few things I want, at a reduced price.

    So paying full price is not a bad strategy if you stay focused.
