Oxyrhynchus Almost There!

We just need a few more folks to "take one for the team" and bid on this CP at this absurd price of $10 per volume and move it into production so the rest of us can benefit by getting this for $1.50 per volume when the next upgrade of the base packages come out. Come on! You can do it!! Rah Rah!!!

I know that it is a good deal but I just wish that the overall price was a bit lower.

Honestly, for me a bid price of $100 would be "just right".

It's a good deal only in a limited theoretical sense. Reality is that no one who gets this, with only a possibility of a tiny number of exceptions, will get anything close to $100 of use out of these, much less $150. The "thousands" of lexicon references mentioned in the product blurb will pretty much tell you everything of value you need to know about what is in these scraps volumes.

I just like to read scraps. The aramaic scraps are good too. My Dad was immensely unimpressed reading Elephantine merchantile doings in the upper Nile during Persian times. He'd take another bite of cereal and smile. He was the patient sort.

But there still are almost enough people who are convinced to buy these "scraps" at $150.

An Observation:

Apparently, given the current peak price, even Logos doesn't think these resources are worth this price. I can't recall any CP that has closed so far to the right side of the price continuum. The vast majority close about where my bid is, or even further left, while every so often some are more centrally located. Realize that there aren't really that many who are bidding at that price; it is so exorbitant that not many are required. Also, notice that $120 is quite close and even $100 is close. If this wasn't peaking at $150, I expect there would be more interest and as such there would be even more bids at that price. It usually works that way, with many bids coming in from those who perpetually sit on the sideline until the very end.

One last observation--this item has been sitting on the precipice for weeks, probably longer than for any other resource I can recall. At the current bid, each bid placed should have a much greater influence to the movement than is usual, and it is still rather slow to make the tumble. It will go soon, and I'm okay with that, for the reason I gave in the OP.

OK. I placed my bid at $150. It doesn't appear that it pushed it over, though. Maybe the next person.

Thanks, David for helping push Oxy!!

Each cautionary note bumps it back to the top, while also warning everyone how MUCH they'll be spend later on if they underbid!
