Seems like several of the Logos competitors are putting NICOT/NICNT on sale...a good sale...$799.99. Anything us Logos?
You are likely to start a riot with a post heading like that. [:D]
What a disappointment to read the title and find that it was not true for Logos!
I dont think you will see this price in Logos. Prepub price was 999, and last year back to school sale was $1050 (pretty much prepub price). Logos uses lots of tags, and I doubt it will go lower the prepub price.
Edit: Other companies like A.......e have tags as well, but much less than Logos because they dont have such a big library
Bruce,
Probably the same disappointment I have been feeling all day as I get emails from other carriers and nothing from Logos...[:'(]
Sorry for the let down!

No worries. It would be great if it were true for Logos.
This one is a bit confusing… These special prices are an arrangement with the publishers, since two separate software distributors are offering the same deal it would make sense that this price would be made available to all distributors who wanted to participate, the question then becomes why has Logos and WordSearch not participated in the chance to offer a sale price. And if Logos was not offered to participate why not? The last time I saw a sale price on WBC it was being offered by OT, Acc., Logos for the exact same savings. Now I realize that it is a different company that has the NIC, but other than not wishing to sell it lower than pre-pub pricing I can't see why Logos would refuse (I suppose one could hope that the price was deferred for Logos for a big promotional thing like the annual Christmas sale but somehow I doubt it).

Doesn't Pastor Appreciation Month start in a few days?
I like the way you think, fgh! [Y]
the question then becomes why has Logos and WordSearch not participated in the chance to offer a sale price.
With Accordance, this is an introductory price, as they never had this set before. Logos had similar pricing when the set was first introduced a few years ago. Do not know if other competitors had the set previous to this special pricing.
Since this sale is offered by more than one competitor, It would seem that the publisher is involved in this deal. Odd that Logos would not be offered something similar, if not the same deal. I would hope the publisher does not play favorites. The point is well made that Logos has to put more work into the resource than these competitors, but I would expect some kind of sale.
I paid over $400 more than this competitor's sale to have NICOT/NT in my Logos library. And it is the most valuable commentary set I own, hands down. So I don't feel cheated. I knew what it was when I bought it. Also, Logos provided me a payment plan which made possible the purchase. That was a big help.
However, if I had the option of buying it in another program for $428 less, I would have bought it in the other program. Things like this make me question the wisdom of buying all my resources from one source. It is very convenient to have the NICOT/NT just one click away in Logos. But how important that is depends on the resource. For me, a Bible Commentary comes near the end of my study process, and I usually just open it to the passage I am studying; therefore, tagging is not as crucial for a commentary. And I certainly don't need a "passage guide" to tell me to check the NICOT/NT.
Still Logos is my Bible Software, and always will be the source of most of my resource purchases. It would have to be a very special resource, such as NICOT/NT to tempt me to look beyond Logos. Actually, the less I know about a resource, the more important it would be to have it in Logos so that the passage guide could remind of it when needed.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. Accordance has had NICOT/NICNT for a while now. In fact, unlike Logos, they even made the move a while back to offer the volumes separately! (Would love to see Logos do this as well!)
Has anyone called into Logos to ask whether they've talked to the publisher about offering this?
A point aside the main discussion: I don't mean to come across harshly but the deceptive sensational thread titles are starting to become an annoying nuisance. Notwithstanding what may not have been intent to offend, this kind of joke is running old. Twice now in the last while has someone posted something that sounded like the great deal everybody has been waiting for for NICNT/NICOT.
While I hope that conversation will continue on this topic and that the level of interest in a great sale on this product will yield results, I am tempted -- if there continues to be thread titles of the kind -- to start reporting them as abusive.
This is just a broader remark with regard to forum ethics and not a personal attack on those who have posted these threads. Blessings to them and to all who love the Lord with a pure heart.

IT is an abuse in that technically a competitors sale is being mentioned which is a no no… But i think there broader point is why hasn't Logos been involved in this sale. Now I realize that Logos personal do not spend a lot of time in the forums, but I would hope that this would attract them to respond (as I assume the 2 posters had hoped for). As I said perhaps they never got the chance to offer it but it would be nice to know why...
The last time I saw a sale price on WBC it was being offered by OT, Acc., Logos for the exact same savings.
From what I recall WBC was offered under quite a different arrangement where Nelson used the Logos (Libronix) system to market their electronic versions (directly themselves for the most part in conjunction with their eBible offerings, rather than primarily via Logos marketting, although you could also get them through Logos.)
Not obvious that deals with all publishers have historically followed the same template, so sale prices from a few years ago may well have depended on whether Logos or the original publisher funded the project to add all the additional Logos tagging to the volumes.
Now I realize that Logos personal do not spend a lot of time in the forums, but I would hope that this would attract them to respond (as I assume the 2 posters had hoped for). -Dan

They do spend time. Just try to start theological/political debate here and you will see how fast you would get respond (I do not promote debate, but I just give it as an example).

To make things worse, it's actually on sale for $779.99 at at least one of the other bible software companies.
I largely dropped one of these other software companies when I went to Logos. I had some thoughts about rekindling my relationship with them, but there's nearly no incentive anymore. I added NICNT/NICOT awhile back at a good price, but the integration with Logos doesn't have a price tag in my opinion--it's the core of what makes Logos better than any other Bible program.
I find it interesting that other companies have decided to cross platform like Logos.
