Is Logos is offering the Classic Commentaries Colossians and Philemon twice?

Sure looks that way, doesn't it. The contents of each set is identical but one is reputed to have 25 volumes while the correct ad says 14 volumes.

I wonder how many people bid on both?   [:P]

The items are identical except that one has additional volumes.

Yes indeed! I cancelled my bid on the Colossians and Philemon classic commentaries.

 One set is 11 volumes smaller....Are there overlaps in the particular books?  

 One set has 11 volumes of Thessalonians included.  

When this thread started both sets were missing the Thessalonians volumes.  I would hope Logos will delete the smaller set. soon.

Boo  Phil!!! (looking for a boot icon)

The first set was artificially (and mistakenly) grouped to get the volume count to a certain size. Colossians and Philemon belong together, but Thessalonians doesn't. I suggested that we split them in two: Colossians and Philemon as one collection (which is up) and Thessalonians as another (which will be up soon). The first collection hasn't been retired yet, but probably should. At the very least, we'll put clear instructions on all three pages indicating that the largest collection is the sum of the smaller two.

Thanks so much for listening! If you leave one or more collections in CP with overlapping resources, at least one of us will buy it & be unhappy... We can all see it coming. Any clear, groupings with non-overlapping resources would be fine with me.

Thanks again for listening!

Phil, I was going to write to you with the suggestion of keeping the Colossians and Thessalonians collection together and deleting the smaller Colossians 14 volume. That way we get three books of the New Testament quicker but it seems that others may prefer a different option. 

Please don't retire the Colossian/Thessalonian option

I'm with Ted here.  Now having the option to buy Colossians/Philemon and Thessalonians separately or Colossians/Philemon/Thessalonians together would negatively test the motivating principle behind Community Pricing... consensus.

As of right now the peaks of the two separated collections totals to a higher price than the combined collection.  I'll second the suggestion to nix the separate Colossians/Philemon and Thessalonians collections and stick to the original combined Colossians/Philemon/Thessalonians.

I take it you're not pleased. I'm open to your suggestions. (You can keep your boos and your boots to yourself! )

No  boots, no  "boos."           Just an "ataboy!"   

As Bill asked, How many of us placed bids on both? [:$] 

Now I do have a suggestion about that Revelation collection: If the top end of the graph were lowered down to , say $80, I bet we would gain a lot of momentum.  It would be an absolute shame for everyone to get all the Classic Commentaries and Studies Collections on the whole Bible and miss out on the Revelation set, just because $160 was WAY OUT OF LINE.   [;)]

Oh, thanks Phil. I appreciate all you do for us. 

Ronald Quick said:

As long as all three are up on the CP page I suggest keeping them there

That would mess up the CP pricing system.

Or one could just bid on them all and just cancel other orders depending on which ones come out of CP first.

I want some assurance that Logos won't allow me to make a duplicate purchase

Thanks Logos for providing that assurance by providing non-overlapping collections for us to bid on.

(For those who missed other posts, the larger collection has been deleted. We need to bid on the smaller 2, now, if we want them.
