Odd Collection Update Pricing

I received an email from Logos advertising updates that will soon be available to add to certain existing collections. The email invited me to pre-order updates. Two of the collections which I have are the Reformation Commentary on Scripture and the Pillar New Testament Commentary.

When I follow the link to the RCS update, my upgrade price is £20.85 despite the individual price of the new (John's Gospel) commentary being £18.94. Similarly, when I click the link to the PNTC update, my upgrade price is £22.62 despite the individual price of the new (James, 2nd ed.) commentary being £20.40.

Anyone thinking about updating their collection may want to check their pricing.

With the RCS, I also saw the pricing to be very strange for me. Perhaps it makes sense, I am not sure. Dynamic pricing for me is $151.03. Individual titles not owned would total around $200. So the dynamic pricing would be attractive I guess. But total value below all titles is $589.82. It really is not total value for me. Looking at it more carefully, it seems to be right, but I feel a bit deceived. For me, the value is not $400 in savings, but only about $50.

Agreed. Cheaper to buy the resource individually

Saw some of this. I really can't figure out why these things wonk out. I think FL needs to do some extra diligence in their calculations. It's not a big deal but it makes a world class leader like FL look less than the incredibly sharp folks they really are.

Pillar resource dynamic price for me is higher than the purchasing of the individual volume.

There is a disclaimer on bundles where individual items are on sale (as showing in Mattilo's image), which I think explains some issues.

[quote]Individual products included in this collection are currently sale priced. Purchasing the individual volumes in this collection may be more cost effective than purchasing the collection itself.

My price for that individual resource is $25.99 (Sale price from $39.99) - do you have academic discount? (I do not)

Perhaps that is not applied to bundle at the moment also confusing price.

I don't have academic discount although, thanks to your question and the fact that I've just started a Diploma in Pastoral Supervision, I've now applied. [:D]

It took me some time, but in the end I went through all of these collections trying to figure out if it is cheaper for me to buy the individual volumes that I don't have or buy the collection. In some cases, it meant searching for each single title in my library as the Logos website does not indicate which volumes I have. And then, I had to determine the individual preorder price of each volume, add them up, and compare the calculated price with the collection price. I hope to have found now the cheapest way to upgrade.

Thank you Kevin and thank you Scooter [:D]

I applied for the academic discount and Faithlife was blisteringly fast at approving it, so thanks, too, to Faithlife [Y]

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but the price went down for me yesterday afternoon on the PNTC. It is now in line with what I would expect.
