Please Bid on Handsful on Purpose for real cheap!

Handsful on Purpose is going for $6 bucks on CP. It's a great collection of devotional, topical and expository sermons. Currently is on sale for $99.99 bucks on WORDsearch and on sale for Pastor's appreciation sale on Accordance for $49.99 (Regular price $99.99).

This means, we can get this for $6 bucks through the great program of Community Pricing (CP). Please, jump on board. $6 bucks is a real steal!

I own the set in Spanish, but it's be nice not having to translate to English if I already own it in English.

Thanks!

I'm in, although at $6 it will probably take a lot of people to make it happen.

And an ample length of time I must add. I've been in at $21. I recommend upping bids to double digits. Doing this will insure bringing this work into development sooner.

I just wanted to give a bit of support to the case for upping your bids. Comparing the cost of producing this against the cost of other resources and looking at the number of bids required, at $6 it's going to take quite a while for this to get funded.

Community pricing is built so that you can bid what you think a given resource is worth. Maybe this is only worth $6. If it is worth more than that, I would encourage raising bids to get this into production.

OK. I bid $21.00. Not sure it is worth that much as I have never owned it, but it looks like something that FL should have in publication.

Who will match me or raise me? Remember, if it closes for under $21, I'll get it for that price and so will you if you bid the same amount.

I had raised it to $21, since for a CP product, I think it's a great price still. More than that, I'd rather buy it from the competition. So yes, I'm in for $21 👍

I'm certainly in with a bid - but I'd need more convincing to raise my bid to anywhere like $US20.

The reason for my bid of $21 is that the present CP price point is too low. I'm looking to effect the price to move up to where it is more likely to go in to production. I hope that all those now at $6 will raise their bids to $12 or $15.

What is likely is that if people don't up their bid, or we don't have a lot of new bidders, it will be one of the expiring pre-pubs some day soon. It is simply languishing, and FL isn't letting that happen any more. If we can get it above 50% that will help keep it alive longer, giving it a chance at success.

If $21 seems too high, remember it will likely go for less, and you can always cancel. If everyone stays at $6 hoping for a deal, it is unlikely to ever go into production. Your choice.

Not sure about this one. Is the wrong title on the cover image and the CP title an indication of the quality we can expect?

The correct title is Handfuls OF Purpose.

I'm sure is a mistake, since no matter how many times I read OF PURPOSE I always ended up writing ON PURPOSE for some reason. At least, based on what happened to me I think is a mistake.

It is fixed now. I am in at $30, but since it is $4 on Kindle and is well-indexed, I am struggling to imagine this making it.

I don't imagine Kindle is as much the reason for lack of interest as the age of the resource and the fact few know about it today. (Its title doesn't help either.)

I would hope that with Logos' tagging this would be a much more valuable resource in Logos than on an e-reader.

At this point, interest is so low that it might be a moot point.

I appreciate that a higher bid by more people is likely to bring the book into production - and that may well be a good thing. Yet most of this thread is about the cost, raising the bid and perhaps attracting people to make a bid. My question is really about the content.

What is it about the content that should attract me as a potential buyer to increase my bid? Would anyone who has read this book already (in print form) be able to comment? Keep well Paul

I suspect that you have either seen the same or similar title by another author or the same book but only one of the volumes included on the Logos version. I certainly can't see this specific book for anything like $4 on either Amazon com or uk

$3.95 is the Kindle price. It sure looks the same to me, but I won't link to it because of forum rules.

"All 12 volumes of the original printed set now in a single ebook! Over 3800 pages in print.

Handfuls On Purpose is a classic work with over 2000 expository outlines, Bible readings, sermon seed thoughts, sermon illustrations, and devotional studies. Written by James Smith and Robert Lee, they are a benefit to any minister or believer."

I have it in print, but I inherited it. Using other people's sermon outlines is not part of my workflow, but I have read them some and enjoyed them. Here is a random sermon:

Randy Lane

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/929024#Comment_929024

I stand corrected. The title is Handful ON Purpose.

My confusion was prompted by the incorrect reference in the description, where he first italicized title has it as Handfuls OF Purpose.

I am in at $21, but like many other CP items there are too many extremely low bids for this to ever likely get funded.

FL needs to be practical about the minimum bid. Perhaps a strategy that takes a highest possible/likely bid count based on CP history analysis and set the minimum bid a good amount above or at least somewhst more than required to fund the project if that bidder count threshold were reached.

Sort the CP items by best seller and you see many in the top 20 that have no chance because like this item too msny bidsvare way below a practical threshold.

Good grief, DAL. The graph has you 31 points behind, and the quarterback dazed from a bad line. Not going to happen this decade.

Never have understood how people 'find' CPs. Forumites, sure. But there's CPs that go crazy, and no mention in a blog or forum. A mystery. If you knew why, you'd find bidders.

A mystery indeed! I always wondered about that. Maybe Logos should fund it themselves. Accordance and WORDsearch are currently selling the set for $99.99 So it must be selling somehow.

Accordance puts out new resources for sale too at an introductory price for a week, then at discounts. No need for prepub. Maybe Logos should do the same. Prepub sometimes is pure nonsense.

Needle hasn’t moved one bit. I went ahead and got it as part of a collection with many other sermon outlines from WS. With their Christmas sale and dynamic pricing it cost me $40 bucks. I’m still keeping my bid, but I won’t hold my breath on this one.
