About sending Hasting's Dictionary back to Community Pricing
In keeping with our value of being open and honest with our customers and each other, I'd like to be the first to come out and say that we made a mistake--a while back--and are now discovering and correcting it.
Hasting's five-volume Dictionary of the Bible was mistakenly put into production when it has only met about half of the cost it would take to produce it. This is because its production estimates were switched with Hastings' other, shorter one-volume Dictionary of the Bible, which came out at around the same time.
Now we're moving this back into Community Pricing, having recently discovered what its real production estimates are and what it would take to get it to 100%. We're truly sorry for the continued delay on this product--I myself really want to see these books ship--and we hope that with the bigger, more active pool of customers we have now (compared with when it was moved into Pre-Pub two years ago) we'll not only be able to deliver this out of Community Pricing, but hopefully give you guys another chance to reduce its cost once everyone has jumped on-board with this title.
Again, I'd like to apologize for our mistake and the delay that this product has gone through. Now that the problem has been identified and addressed, we'll put every effort in moving this product forward as quickly as possible.

Branden .. very, very nice post. And we on the forum also got the two mixed up repeatedly!

Having heard much praise for this work, I have doubled my original bid.

It's been over two years since it left community pricing, I would thought you would of realized the price wasn't covered before now?

This was my question. I don't have a problem with a mistake, but this CP is starting to break records and even makes the production of the Galaxie Journals look like a walk in the park.

No problem!

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Noted that my original bid is still active and is double the current peak.

Me too - but I also ask why did it take so long to correct the error? [No answer required]

I bid on this over three years ago [:'(] so I guess I can wait another couple of years [;)]

And how exactly do you propose to do that may I ask? Can we look forward to a blog post? Or a word of mouth promotion [:-*] perhaps? [:D]

I actually had the 1 vol on CP at the same time, and saw that both entered pre-pub the same time, so I took the 1 vol off my orders.. Now I wished I kept my CP bid for the 1 vol

I suppose quite a bit of development has been done on this since it entered Pre-Pub status and all you need is the appropriate financing to bring it to publication. (ie; the work is done and it just needs to be paid for.)

Its stuck at say 45%..
So if $15=45%
then $33+ = 100%.
Which means EVERYONE that has a CP bid of $15 needs to move to $33 or $36 for this to move.

I raised my bid to $30. There are five volumes and 4,500 pages in this collection, so it seems to be worth $30.
Let's get this through CP and into our libraries!

Interesting: I bid on it in 2011. When it came back over to CP this time, my original bid was put back in place. When I pulled up the resource, I had a bid on it dated in 2011.
I hope everybody that bid on it, didn't get it, and thought it went away know they still have an outstanding bid.

Doc ... I got an email referencing my bid. But I don't have one. I hope I'm not bidding! Or maybe I should bid. Or wait for the pre-pub.
