Want to buy Books, but struggle with Whole Sets

I assume many other educators and pastors are in the same boat. I recently wanted to buy the NICOT for Ruth. The whole set goes for over a thousand dollars. Why doesn't logos add the feature that iTunes uses. If I buy Ruth Individually, then later decide to buy the set, the price that I've already paid for the individual titles is applied to the whole set price. For example, I bought 4 books in the NIV application Commentary series in the Old Testament, then decided I wanted to get the whole set, the amount I've already paid could be taken off the set price. Right now, for some of your best commentaries, the entry price is too steep. Many Logos already does this and I just haven't figured it out yet, so after looking through the store for awhile I thought I'd post and here others/official responses.

I understand the frustration completely, but the short answer is that Logos has to sell the books the way the publisher wants them sold. If the publisher won't allow them to break up the set, then they cannot do it.

There is a forum thread that keeps tabs on collections that are broken up for individual sale: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/41600.aspx

This is a frequent topic on these forums. Logos does sometimes break up sets and allow purchase of individual volumes, However, NIC is not one of those. Many have speculated as to why this is so, but we have not official word from Logos.

IMO, while the whole set is very expensive, it is worth the price.

If it depends from publishers then why competitors of Logos are able to sell individually. I think the logos wants to make more $$$
