I can't vouch for the content, but I am familiar with the three names highlighted in the description (as well as Girdlestone), mainly because they are included in some of my other CCs.
At the very least, $2 increments would be better.
Upon further reflection I think that $2 increments would be better in this case too. But time will tell. It will be interesting to see if more people respond and see the price drop more often.
I'm going to pass on this one. For a Classic Collection CP it is overpriced.
Most of us on this thread agree with you Alan and hence the purpose of the thread. But don't give up and be sure to watch near the end of the week as we're hoping the price will continue to drop.
So just out of curiosity, what do most people think this set is worth? I don't know the authors, but I think $ 20-$30 would be reasonable but that is just a guess.
I think $ 20-$30 would be reasonable
I would agree. I bid $50 back in December but wasn't thrilled about doing that. My main interest in it is simply to add to the CC series I already have, and I've got till Friday to decide if the final price is worth that.
I bid $30...doubt I would go $35.
I originally bid $20, but might raise it to $30, but no higher. I just wanted to add it to my CC collection but won't be upset if I miss it. The only one I really wanted to read was William Kelly's.
Edit: Now it is at $1 increments, so I couldnt raise it to $30 even if I wanted to.
Down to $57 from $65 in the last two days....
Need to bid at the extreme left (currently $52) to get the scale changed to allow lower bids.
At the present rate it would be down around $45 before close on Friday.
But the rate usually accelerates a little as we get closer to the wire so we can still hope for $40......
If you do not already have a higher bid in, place a bid now at $52 and lower your bid to $45 when the scale changes on Wednesday or Thursday....
If you have a bid at $57 or higher do not reduce your bid yet else it may creep back up....
It is interesting to note that a number of higher bidders have actually lowered their bids to reach the current number of $57. But $52 is close to going over 100%.
I think more people should lower the bids to keep this thing going lower.
I also think Logos needs to now move the bidding options further to the left.
I agree. More should lower their bids. This easily could come down to $50 by Friday...and even lower. But the chart shows clearly how close we are to $52 and I am quite sure we will discover what the chart is not showing...how close we are to getting below $50 on this resource. My bid stands at $50.
Yeah I dont ever remember a CP where they cut a huge part of the scale off. Would love to see what 40/45/50 bids % is at.
But it has gone down from 80 to 57 which is good, but still not enough IMO.
The projected price is at $50, yet the bidding scale stops at $52. I can't even lower my bid at this point.
Confirmed this is broken and needs to be fixed. Closing price is not even visible, let alone customers having opportunity to bid at a lower price.
Can we get a technician on this? It appears that something is wrong. It will not be surprising to me if the price can be driven down to $40...if the increments were fixed
Anyone reported this on the Logos Website forum ?
I dont know how to do that. I know the price changed today. But that is probably part of the program being used as people change their bids. But the increments need to be more realistic. If a $40 bid was possible, there is a real possibility of seeing this resource drop that much by Friday
Something is broken with this. If you select anything lower than $57, the price in your orders in your acct shows RED as in too low -- even tho the CP page says $50 is closing.
So If you want green in your orders page need to keep at $57 for now, at least I had to.
Here is a screenshot of what is wrong. I hope this gets fixed soon.
In response to repeated requests in this thread, too many people have lowered their bids and it no longer meets the 100% criterion.
What happens next is anyone's guess. It is now just as likely to close back up at $60 or $80 as it is to go down.
Get back in at $57 else it could as easily go higher as lower.
Bruce I don't have time now but could you email Ray Deck to have this looked at and fixed so the whole graph is visible.
Done!
Fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks but I think it still has issues. Here is the latest screenshot. Where is the current bid now since the green line is below 100%?
Weird. I don't know what's going on. I'll have to do a little more digging.
I think it has just been fixed...
Thanks for the fix. Now...I am bringing my bid down to $45. CP closes on Friday. We already have it down to $50. Can we go down to $45?
I just want to point out that if everyone who is above $40 dropped their bid to $40, then the timer would shut off and we could get this collection reactivated in less than a week (or so) with a chance of driving this down to $30 or even lower.
I am now in on this.
Thanks folks!
Every blessing
Alan
what's so special about this set?
What's special ? nothing, people don't know how to bid.
I don't think so. If I recall correct, in former situations were bidding fell to less than 100% the timer still went on and the product moved from CP to "under development" unless Logos stopped the progress manually.
CP closes on Friday. We already have it down to $50. Can we go down to $45?
It may need just a small number of bids to move it down the rather flat curve:
Note how the Classic Commentaries for Corinthians just passed 100% at $28. It is 2 more volumes but still makes me wonder why Galatians started so high considering it passed 100% at $80. Some folks must really want this set.
Now at $49 - getting closer to $40. We might just make it.
Yes...at $49...and yes it is close, very close to being lower...If people once again reconsider their bids, we can get this down to $40. If you are willing to spend $49 on this resource, why not bid lower today and on Friday morning, bid back up to $49 if your bid fails to be high enough...
My bid is now changed to $40. I may bid higher on Friday if it is necessary. If others bid $40, it wont be necessary to bid higher tomorrow
Everyone should note that two of these volumes are in German.
It has been pointed out already. This set contains 14 volumes. Two of those 14 are in German. Twelve of the volumes are in English.
Perhaps some dont think the price is low enough for 12 English volumes. If that is so, then bid low.

I adopted this strategy today. Perhaps others will do the same.

What am I missing? Doesn't a $49 bid also count as a $40 bid? What is needed is more bidders, not simply changing current bids.

If enough people who bid higher lowered their bids it would go below 100%. If it goes below 100% it will not close this week and give more opportunity for the price to go down to where it should be.
Ah, yes. Got it.
And Bruce, it just went below 100% at 49.
That's great. $40 is achievable folks!
It took one week only to go from $80 to $49. The chart shows that it easily could go down to $39 if enough bidders would change their bids tonight. If nothing changes by Friday noon EST, then those who want to pay $49 can change their bids back to $49. If enough people change their bids, this resource could easily go down to $39
Actually, at this point, those who are "in" at less than $40 should raise their bids to $40 immediately so that it will kick in at that price, even if they do not intend on buying at price. Unless it goes lower, those who will only bid when it is lower just won't bid. At $40 some who haven't bid yet will jump in and maybe push it down to $35, but they won't bid at the current price. So if you are less than $40, BID $40 NOW please.
If it goes below 100% it will not close this week
Says who? Has Logos ever done that? I can remember one case when a closing resource was left on CP for a later week, but that was because Logos radically recalculated their production costs. In every other case I've seen, Logos has closed the resource anyway.
I won't be the least surprised if the results of this campaign is that several people lose out without intending to, and the rest get to pay more than you would if you'd simply encouraged more bids at the going price, and thereby driven it down step by step.

I was speaking from my best knowledge that I could recall but I could be wrong. I was pretty sure I remembered this happening several times in the past. If you think about it, It totally makes sense that it should not go into production if it is not over 100%. Of course each person will have to assess the risk on their own but there are several hours still left for things to change.
If people changed their bids to $40 for several hours, and then before it goes into production, if the price was still at $49, they changed their bids back to $49, then no one who did that would lose out.
It is too bad that there were people with $80 bids that kept this resource as high as it was and still is. While I am glad we got it down to $49, if the resource was left on CP for another week, it would not surprise me if the price was driven down to $39 or lower. But we have run out of time.
My suggestion is to lower bids this morning to $40, and then check again in a few hours. Before going into production, if the final bidding still stood at $49, then just change the bid back to $49 if you are willing to pay that price for the resources.
It's now officially over 100% again at $48 but $40 is very close. There is still a bit more time to place your bids!
