It costs more to buy this resource individually ($165.00) than when it is included in a set ($119.00) .

    It is usually the case that it costs more to buy resources individually than when they are included in a set, but it's usually not more than the cost of the whole set. I'd say this is a case where you'd want to buy the whole set instead of the individual volume even if you didn't care for the other books.

    This pricing is indeed odd. Might be a mistake, I dunno. But I think I've heard of this happening once before.

    It is not unheard of:



    NAB:   $39,95
    NRSVCE:   probably also $39,95, but it seems gone for the moment
    NAB + NRSVCE + Collegeville commentary:   $24,95




    I also know of a couple of collections where buying the collection actually costs more than buying all the resources separately.

    Wow! Either that collection is a great deal, or Aquinas on Doctrine is an over-priced book! Or both. (Incidentally, you can get it new in paperback on Amazon.com for about $56; the hardcover full retail price on Amazon $165 is closer to the Logos price; since we're getting the content not the cover format, it seems more fair to price it in keeping with the paperback but whatever; moot point; I went for the collection).
