Well, how about we focus on Waltke and O'Connor's Intro to Biblical Hebrew Syntax, since it disappeared from March Madness?

Or something else that won't ever go on sale AND costs more, like the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Background Commentary on the OT?

[Y] Did it.

I would love to see the New International Commentary OT/NT be discounted!!! Going back through the forums, I saw that this got marked down during the 12 days of Christmas sale last year, but I had just become aware of Logos and purchased a base package at that time, so I totally missed out on that sale. Being a student, $1,599 is a pretty hefty price, though I realize these are some pretty great commentaries.
good idea
Oops! Meant OT, linked to NT!

If the Zondervan books can be further discounted that would be nice....!
I "liked" the Zondervan OT set for you guys, we'll see what happens! My fb page is now full of logos product "likes", which my friends probably think is ridiculous lol, but hopefully it will pan out for some pretty sweet deals for us all. Thanks for the "like" help with the NICOT/NICNT! [Y]

Same here.
It will be interesting to see what kind of deals result from this.
Done!!!!!
Only 980-odd to go.
Are lots of Logos users not on Facebook? Reluctant to "like" individual products? Or just unaware of the sale?
Actually, I'm not on facebook and up till now had no inclination to do so. I'm giving away enough of my privacy (and hang around online) in forums.
So what's the deal? 50% off if there are 1.000 "likes" or so?
It is every 1,000 likes for a specific title brings about the 10% discount just for that title? or is it for every 1,000 likes in general (combined together from various titles) that brings a discount for this FaceBook sale? I was kind of thinking that it meant 1,000 likes overall (combined from various titles put together) that Logos would then select some of the more well liked titles to sell at a discount...maybe I'm wrong. If It is 1,000 likes for each specific title....that will be quite difficult to reach by April 2nd at the rate things are going lol...I don't think there are any titles/products with more than maybe 120 likes. hmmm.....I have still been posting the NICOT/NICNT on my facebook for all of my friends to "like", but it is still very far from 1,000 likes.
I'd venture to guess that it's somewhat all of the above...
I feel the same way, but finally caved in. Of course, I opened a new Hotmail account just for Facebook, I didn't make any friends, and I switched every setting I could find to make things visible just for me and no one else. And I may have happened to slip a bit on the keyboard when I typed in my name and birthday. So I don't believe I gave away much, except my IP address (and there are ways around that as well if you want).
There is one huge difference between what Logos is asking us to do and me telling a friend that I found this new place to have dinner. This one huge difference is Logos is initiating the conversation. Logos is trying to convince me to tell my friends that I like this item
I NEVER do this because I feel like I am being used by Logos.
I am not a tool to be used by any company, and I will not make an exception for Logos.
Because of the clutter issue, I've not done any likes - not wanting to flood facebook friends (and church members!) with a lot of product pages. I love Logos, I love the resources, but I love my friends more and don't want them ditching me in the flood.
Tom, as one who finds much of Logos' business methods less than ethical, and as one who myself refuses to take part in some types of sales because of this, I admire your principles. In this particular case, however, I don't agree with you. I see nothing inherently dishonest in this sale, nothing that forces me to violate my principles in order to take part.
Admittedly, it takes a ridiculous amount of time if you wish to 'like' more than a few things -- time that could probably be better spent -- but at least it's voluntary and I have a chance to get something out of it (and help others get something out of it) -- which is an awful lot more than can be said about the equally ridiculous amount of time I have to spend on reporting typos and bugs. Forcing paying customers to act as unpaid alpha/beta testers and proof-readers, that is immoral; offering us a chance to earn a little by advertising for them is not in my opinion.
As for the flooding and being used, well, if they use you, you can use them, right? What's to stop the two of you and everyone else from opening a second Facebook account just for this, as outlined above? Then your friends won't see a thing.
What would be immoral, though, in my opinion, would be to refuse to take part in the 'liking', and yet take advantage of the sale prices. If you won't help to bring the prices down for others, you shouldn't then jump in to benefit from the work of those others. Just an opinion. What you actually do is between you and God, and I couldn't care less. (And yes, Tom, I saw your answer.)

I disagree with this, and I suspect Logos would too. Sale prices exist to get people to make purchases. Logos would love it if people who aren't interacting with them regularly would buy more stuff.
I disagree with this
Feel free to do so. [:)] However, I wasn't talking about people who simply missed the first part of the sale, or something like that. I was talking about people who deliberately refuse to 'like' because they find the idea behind this sale unethical, but who then nevertheless intend to take advantage of it.

You'd think so, but not necessarily. If Logos thought like that this wouldn't be a Facebook only sale, there wouldn't be Twitter only offers, we wouldn't be forbidden to post campaign codes in the forums, and no one would get a better price by calling a sales rep.
There is a way to stop flooding your friends newsfeeds:
Five items? The link above Word takes me to Tozer. Am I missing something?
I've got most of them except for the L4 Manual, Tozer and the Bible Speaks Today. I will probably pick up L4 Manual.
I'm not sure I understand your question. When I go to that Facebook page, I see 4 items on sale for 50% off the already low sale price, then another 5 items on sale for incredibly low prices, though not quite 50% off the sale price. And then a bonus item. Is that not what you're seeing? And where did you get the idea that it would be something else? Was there a promise of five items for 50% off that I'm forgetting about? (Can't see what the original sale page looked like anymore as it's been replaced.)
Yes, the item immediately above the Word commentaries (below the Tozer collection) which is just a banner (see graphic below) does appear to be linked to the Tozer page for some reason (probably a glitch in the HTML), but that's nothing material. Just wondering what you were expecting that you're not seeing.
I am not seeing the other five items, just Word.
That's weird. Are you seeing the 4 items above Word and just missing the 4 items below Word? Or are you only seeing Word period?
Try it in a different browser, just in case that has anything to do with it. I'm using Firefox and it displays the whole page with all items on it.
