I get the feeling there's only so many DTTBYML'ers in the Logos world. I know this is a wasted suggestion, but if the present bidders went to $50, it would go into production. Unfortunately it's final price would likely be far higher.
But very likely there's a host of $20 bidders that view the DTTBYML as '$20 at best'. I really don't understand that logic, unless it's simply to help other bidders.
$20 gets me a decent steak at the grocery store. $20 pays the gasoline up to Flagstaff and back. $20 is a pretty inexpensive blouse these days. And $20 won't even cover a bag of our BBQ charcoal (Green Egg of course).
Fully tagged, ties to the various jewish and 2nd Temple resources. $20???
I'm convinced. Changed to $40 (the highest possible right now).
I've been on this for years. The print versions stink, and it's THE most important Aramaic lexicons out there for serious students.
It was a required purchase for our Aramaic courses.
Yeah, I've been on this for 20 years. OK, that's a slight exaggeration, but for a long time.
Lets see what would happen if we moved our bids up to 30/40 dollars. If the bar goes up high enough, when it crosses maybe late bidders will drive the price down.
I moved my bid to $40.00.
Peace, Lynden! To you! To all! and ............ Great Joy in the Lord! *smile*
Just joined you at $40.00 U.S.
Those interested in this, lets move the bids to 40.00. When it crosses the line, then we can promote it until the price drops much lower.
I've upped my bid to $40.00.
Me too.
