Better Than March Madness: 73% Off Mobile Ed Course!

FL, please set up some lower minimums.

Bruce Waltke's substantial OT300 Theology of the Old Testament course is currently listed at 73% off.

And the discount will grow as more people sign up: previous similar scenarios have seen $500 and $600+ courses go for far less than $100.

For those who appreciate learning through lectures (faith comes by hearing, after all!), this represents way better value than even whatever wins Logos March Madness 2018.

One of the things I love most about Old Testament theology is how it opens up our understanding of New Testament theology.

FL, please set up some lower minimums.

This could help, but it could also hinder. The lower it goes the more bids are needed, but the lower price might attract more people.

I could never pay the Mona Lisa full price, nor the Monet 40pc off if the project was in pre-pub.

But, I can pay 70USD.

This is a slow process that allows the dropping price to create its own news. As well, those of us interested in lowering the price create news in the thread by saying, ''Hey, look here.''

I see it as more good teaching spread to more people. N'est pas??

This is a slow process that allows the dropping price to create its own news.

It is an interesting thing to consider various pricing strategies for Community Pricing. I think you are right that the slow process of dropping the price creates more interest. For instance, if the price started out at $100 it might take longer to gain momentum. It is hard to say what might happen.

Was not ''John'' involved in this bidding process? ''Hebrews''? I was on the sidelines, but seem to remember long and winding roads.

I feel the OT has less traction, + so am hoping a lowering + low price [in the end] creates its own magnetic pull.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/960222#Comment_960222

I think you are right that the slow process of dropping the price creates more interest.

I like to think that FL has it down to a science, gradually lowering the minimum at optimum intervals to ensure that it can continue to get a reasonable number of new bids to preserve upward momentum to 100%.

CP books start low and people drive the prices up to get them funded (faster). CP courses start high (because fewer people buy courses) and people drive the prices down to make them more affordable.

The bid option range now includes the $100 price-point. That should trigger a lot of Logos users to put in a bid and, hopefully, we'll find that the projected price falls below even that level. [:)]

If enough more $ 100 bids are placed for Mobile Ed course => https://www.logos.com/product/149558/mobile-ed-ot300-old-testament-theology then discount becomes 82 % => substantially Better than March Madness

Current number of $ 100 bids covers 40 % of estimated course creation cost. Need 150 % more users to bid $ 100 (or more).

Number of $ 150 bids (with 73 % discount) currently covers 50 % of course creation cost.

Thanks Gordon--you're doing a great job of keeping this out in front of everyone. It really does look to be a better deal then even MM.

I'm not quite tracking with you though on the projected price of just $100. When I view the web page, it looks to me like it shows $150 as the projected price (still a good deal!). Am I missing something?

Hi Rick, thanks for your words. I typed the wrong figure by mistake. As you correctly noted, the projected price is presently $150.

Of course, if enough bidders get on board then the final price may be closer to $100. That would be sweat! (Deliberate mistake that time [;)])

Two more:

TH268 Jack W. Cottrell on the Doctrine of Grace

TH278 Jack W. Cottrell on the Doctrine of Baptism

Current price at $170 for the pair of them (hopefully going down a bit more, as the outline is looking really awesome - for me personally better to have than any of the MM deals or other Mobile Ed courses currently on CP).

Keith Pang

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/967175#Comment_967175

No actually a lower bid won’t drop the price right away but it drops when more people are committed to paying less. Note you don’t pay the price you bid necessarily but it’s based on the closing price

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/967179#Comment_967179

Keith, don’t you mean it drops when more people are committed to paying less?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/967175#Comment_967175

Does bidding for a lower price work?

Yes it does, but it takes time as Keith mentioned, to get enough lower bids to make the lower price become the current price.

Bid the highest price you are willing to pay as that will also count as a bid for all lower prices. If you bid for a lower price just to try and force the price down there is no guarantee it will drop that low. Significant price drops are sometimes seen after a bid crosses the line,

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/967205#Comment_967205

It looks like only a few more bidders are needed for the projected price to drop to $140 [:D]

It’s curious that people are still bidding $150 (causing $150 and lower to rise), instead of bidding $100 (which would only drive up $100 to become the new peak).

I think we’d get a lot more interest if we’d drive the price way down to $100 well before closing, rather than $140.

I don't fully understand how the pricing mechanism works but I agree that a $100 price tag would surely generate a huge amount of interest and get the course into production.

It would be very good if the price point drops further. However, and in my opinion, $150, in and of itself, represents solid value given the length of the course, the quality of the instructor, and based on the production values of previous offerings. I really hope that more people jump on board with this, to the benefit of us all.

I do not have the exact figures, but both John + Hebrews went thru at <100USD - perhaps around the 80 mark. For this program to do something similar would be very cool.

We also got Deuteronomy (20 hours) for $85 and I think Judges (18 hours) was $50.

While $150 might represent a good value, the question is whether it's currently affordable for some of us. Unfortunately not yet.

My concern at this possibly closing over $100 is that it will still be priced too high, and we'd have to cancel.
