I would be interested to know if those of us who already own the 60 volumes of Biblical Archaeologist will get a discount?

I guess it would depend if they are the first 60 issues. If so, I would suspect that you would get a discount for the last 6 volumes. This set is missing the first 54 volumes of The Biblical Archaeologist. I suspect Logos will get the other 54 issues for those of us who did not get them via Libronix.

I don't know anything about this journal or its history with Logos. Was it previously published by a third party? If so, my guess is that you would receive a dynamic pricing discount for the resources you already own, but ONLY after the product has been released... but that is only a guess.

Bob has discussed the issue of third party resources recently. See THIS thread.

I purchased it originally with The Ultimate Archaeology Collection.

I suspect you're speaking of print editions so the answer would be "No."  I assume you own a AV (KJV) print bible.  Do you expect they would give a discount for that?

No George, I mean the Logos versions that I have in my library.  The ones in the link that you obviously did not follow, but thanks for giving us a perfect example of why one shouldn't assume.  I still love you though.[:D]

They go to volume 60.

And to Logos, please include ALL of the cover art!!!

It all depends on who owns the copyright to the photos used on the covers. The Christian History and Biography magazine was not able to grant Logos permission to use some photos in their magazines.

What we really should be asking is if all the photos and diagrams will be included or if it is just the text. (Note: I have not read the product description.)

I too bought them from Logos. The are Logos editions. I have Volumes 1-60 of the Biblical Archaeologist. And the prepub price for me is $139.95. So is that dynamic pricing or am I purchasing it twice?

I don't see that in the Logos catalogue and the link you gave isn't to Logos.  Is that a discontinued product?

Yes, it has been discontinued for some years now.  I bought it in 2007 on discs from Logos, but I don't think it was ever available in the age of instant downloads.

Hey Michael, another aspect to this is that the previously released issues are not available on mobile apps.  Can you also find out if we can get those made available?

the answer i received when contacting sales was only a very canned response that, no, the prepub price is the best price available, and will go up in the future... followed by a very lengthy generic, canned spiel that the rep would be happy to put together a bundle of resources for me at a great (according to him) discount. i'm becoming very disillusioned with Logos.

I wouldn't get disillusioned yet.  Michael said that he would check on it, and I don't automatically expect that customer service/sales reps would have information on something as new as this.  Just wait and see what happens;  you might be pleasantly surprised.

Unless they put it in the product description, don't count on it!  Many of us have over half the volumes in the Charles Hodge Collection but will have to pay $80 for the Community Pricing rate. I guess when we ask "Why do I have to pay twice for this?" Logos cam answer, "Ypi don't have to buy it in CP."

It is entirely possible dynamic pricing will be added after it ships. But the price will go up when it ships.

Maybe dynamic pricing will kick in after the resource goes into production.  That happened recently with the Steve Ray Collection.  One of the books was part of Verbum Capstone+, not the other.  Pre-Pub pricing offered no solution - the product page was silent, but once the resource became available in production for download dynamic pricing took over and provided "credit" for those that had one book but not the other.  (This thread.)  It worked out well in the end. 

Maybe that will happen here.

First of all, thanks for your patience while I looked into this.

For those who own the now retired Biblical Archaeologist Arcive (1938–1998), which overlaps by four years with our current offering, Biblical Archaeologist / Near Eastern Archaeology (1992–2011) (20 vols.) (74 issues), dynamic pricing will be available on the latter once it moves off of pre-pub. This will ensure that owners of the former will not pay twice for any overlapped content. Please wait, however, to place your order until this new collection moves off of pre-pub to take advantage of dynamic pricing, as we currently do not offer dynamic pricing on pre-pubs.
