Come on, let's get this over the top.
Wondering about closure before bid on 3 Apr 2012 is one year old ?

Keep Smiling [:)]
I have placed my bid.
We just need people that bid $15-$20 to raise their bid to $35 - remembering that it could even close at $30 with enough people rasing.
Let's move it forward.
So close... but still waiting for those $15-20 bids to be raised!
Okay Dave, I raised my bid.
If we can get it over the top by tonight, we have an entire week to drive the price down.

I'm in at $25. That's what it's worth to me, and it's got a much shallower slope than most CPs from $35 to $25. I'm holding out hope that it'll go over at the lower price.
I just jumped in at $25 as well.
Sooo close, but we need $35 bids to get it over ...
I'm not certain how it works, but I am more interested in getting the price down to $30 or even $25, than I am in pushing it over at $35. Let's try to spread the word and get more people bidding, instead of encouraging people to raise their bid. I know this would never happen, but if there is a set cost to produce these CP works, then we could get them for next to nothing if every Logos user would bid on them.
I've been in at $30 for a long time. I tend to practice what I call "guess the price" in which I make an estimate of what it will finally be. I may sometimes be wrong in which case I will raise my bid if I really want the work (I also practice a "let me think about it" approach where I lowball something I have a very remote interest in simply to be notified should it go over the top in addition to the occasional "I really want this approach" where I bid the prevailing amount). I think $30 is attainable—especially since we frequently see the "piling on effect" after an item goes over.

I do the same.
I think $30 is attainable
I agree, but considering what you called the "piling on effect" I think $25 is attainable if it doesn't cross 100% too soon.
George -my bidding behavior is similar to yours. I put 15 or 20$ on all of the greek philosophy works (Aristotle and the rest). Happily surprised to have gotten most of them. I bid 35 on this one forever ago. Happy to see it close to the line!
If it goes over with $35 bids it may well be driven down to $30 as more people come in because that level is close to 95% of the cost of publication. If people are reluctant to bid $35 then $30 is the most meaningful bid if coming in or wanting to raise a lower bid.
It is close indeed. Can anyone offer some good reasons why someone who already owns 1988 version of this resource would want to get this one as well? It may help push it over.
Its been a while since I looked it up, but what sold me on it was that it is a classic work. This was the pinnacle of conservative theology in 1935. The great thing about conservative theology, is that it remains largely unchanged over time. It may not deal with the DSS, or some of the other modern things... But, those issues it does deal with are supposed to have been handled in an exceptional way. Others may have other reasons... But that is (in a nutshell) what sold me.
I've been in since day one. It literally only needs a few more people to make this go over the top.
It's just gone over the top at $35.00. We have 4 days to try and get it down a bit in price!
I still have the same question. I realize that it would represent a more conservative viewpoint in 1915 but how different is it?
I already have the 1915 edition...released by Ages Software many moons ago. Is this a re-release of that version???
oh...never mind. I just read that the Ages' edition will be automatically updated to the new improved version when it is released!!!
GLORY!!!! [Y]
Otto that is interesting. I have the E4 version. I doubt it is going to be automatically updated. Anyone know?

GLORY!!!!
I have this edition also. That is great news indeed! Thanks Otto.
I have the E4 version. I doubt it is going to be automatically updated. Anyone know?
John, sorry to disappoint but I don't think there will be an automatic update for you. E4 products were not licensed by Logos.
No problem... I am in at $35 anyway.
Hi John,
From the ISBE 1915 product page, the Ages Edition is specifically named as being eligible for the free upgrade:
Does anyone know how this resource compares to the Hastings 5 vol. Dictionary of the Bible? It appears that Hasting's is much longer, and was published only a couple years prior. Anyone have experience with both of these? I'm just wondering if I already have the Hastings, should I purchase this one?

I'm in. Good deal on this one
It's there!!
Now's the time for the low bidders to get in or miss out & $25 won't get you there. Bidding closes Friday 12pm PST.

I'm one of those low-bidders on this one because I already have the 1988 updated version. But I finally caved in to bid $35 even though I'm not convinced it is worth having both.
I have the updated version also, although it would be interesting to see the shifts on various subjects during the two printings.
Just a few more bids should bring this down to $30. Bid Here Today
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<More bids please>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It is up a bit but we are running out of time.

Lot of progress the past few days. Surely we can get it down to $30. I'm in at $35. Love the ISBE!
I wonder why the picture of this resource shows 5 volumes. I read it from cover to cover years ago when I was in HS (or maybe early in college). It was only 2 vols.

Now that's impressive! I doubt whether many people can say that.
In case someone is wondering… the link for this pre pub is here: http://www.logos.com/product/18410/the-international-standard-bible-encyclopedia-1915-edition
Are you sure you read the same one, its 3,500 pages[:O]

It's difficult, if not impossible, to be absolutely certain since that was at least 2-3 yrs ago [;)], and I no longer have it, but I don't know of an abridged edition. I see that on Amazon it is listed as 5 vols.
It is so close to $30. If it doesn't reach it by Friday perhaps someone could conveniently leave it up for another week. [;)]
Bump. Those five dollars bidders, please move your bid to thirty dollars. The clock is ticking.
we are so close to $30 and even $25 is still a chance
It has to be $30!
