Where? If you buy the pre-pubs, you can get great deals. Barth's Church Dogmatics, for instance, retails for $840. My pre-pub discount was $299. The Goold edition of John Owen’s works in English with the original Latin retails for $500. My pre-pub was only $225. The 2nd ed. of Erickson's Christian Theology costs $50 usually. Logos has it for $20. Plus, at Christmas every year, they put out huge collections of hundreds of books for about $1.33 a volume.

Plus, you can sometimes get great deals from third parties such as Rejoice Software. Almost everything R.C. Sproul ever wrote for $35, complete works of Luther (55 vols.) for about $170, and the Word Biblical Commentary on sale at times around $400-$500 . . . sounds like pretty good deals to me.
