GBModerator Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Any chance to lower or completely remove costs? Or maybe just a small annual subscription fee similar to here? I'm not dissing about the costs, I get why they're there, but considering the old bid library had similar stuff uploaded for free, surely this can do something similar? We might offer some good discounts to Premium members. We're still working on it. Quote

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 I see Tominger got $130 for Tokyo 2016. Good job Sofia 1992 bid book I think. I'll wait to see if the experts agree. If anyone still reads this section! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1986-VINTAGE-BULGARIAN-1992-OLYMPIC-WINTER-GAMES-CANDIDATE-CITY-PHOTO-ALBUM-BOOK-/110988882938?pt=US_Olympics_Fan_Shop&hash=item19d773f3fa&_uhb=1#ht_14054wt_1271 Quote

Lord David Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 But bad overall as it's just 1 volume of a 3 file bid document. :/ Quote
thatsnotmypuppy Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 But it has all the venue info - which is what most people are after. Ohhh floor plans of potential venues! I don't really get hard over transport plans... 1 Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Posted January 20, 2013 Eh i'm sure it would go with the magazine advertising the bid I bought. Still wanting to find London... Hard to find any. Quote
tominger Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 London was offered so many times in the recent months. Was it three times? Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 Didn't have the case for it + was a bit pricey for me. Yes i'm annoying and stingy. lol. Miss the times when there were lots uploaded at once Quote
tominger Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 200 Pounds for a succesful Bid is not pricey and who cares if the case is included? Sure, its better with the container, but if the container is just a cardbord box, it really doesn`t matter. I would be happy to find the books I am still missing - no matter in which condition they are and no matter if the box is included. 1 Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 That's true. Going to save and buy a big one at the end of the year unless and I hope this happens some cheap ones come on eBay or anywhere. I'm bad at finding them. I owe Lord David, he was the one who found the bargain NYC 2012 one Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 That's why I like people posting what they find haha Quote

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 Made a generous 40 pound offer on the Berlin 2000 books. Doubt it cause they're 350 pounds. Quote
Lord David Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I got those Berlin 2000 bid books. Nothing special, but considering the competition and criticism from Germans/Berliners themselves that money should be spent on infrastructure, reconstruction etc, the Berlin team did have a lot of venues on hand. The Deutscheslandhalle from the1936 games, the International Congress Center (which formed part of the Nazi era exhibition center), the Olympic Pool and Olympiastadion were some of the existing venues that would play host to a wide variety of sports. Most of the indoor sports were easily covered this way, with the proposal to build a new velodrome, minor arena and major one (which eventually happened in various stages, some post 2000). Aquatics was to be boosted with an indoor pool much like what Rio is doing. All in all, considering the situation, Berlin at the time did logically believe it had adequate venues at hand, that the new ones would benefit the city and that most importantly, it would solidify reunification. Shame we never got a chance to see that, but here's hoping for 2024. My main criticism of the books is the binder style format they went with. The loose binder style paper really is flimsy with the folder each book is with. They should have gone with the proper book format or with tighter binders, or even a proper ring binder type system (the common one like what Quebec 2002 did). Guess it was the nature of their possibly low budget bid. Edited January 30, 2013 by Lord David Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Shame about that and hope they throw there hat in the ring for 2024. Of course he declined my offer but his is ridiculously high. I'm kind of wanting to expand my 2 books. I messages the abebooks seller about the Toronto 96 books but he hasn't replied they have been up for 6 months now. heres hoping. Can't seem to find any others. Quote
tominger Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) @ Lord: I am glad that you found the Books of Berlin. Their concept was quite nice (many venues have been built as the Velodrome and the Aquatics center). They had no Budget problems back in 1993 but they produced 3500 (!!!) Bid Booksand and saved money in the production. Therefore they decided to produce them in this bland Binder-Version. Some of the sets included an additional Paralympic Binder (three binders in the container and the Paralympic one extra). @OlympicFan: Have you seen this already? Here you can get the Bid Books for about 90 Euro. I think the price is ok - but maybe you can get a good price if you send them an Email: http://www.agon-antiquariat.de/buch-berlin-2000-olympische-sommerspiele-baende-p-3666.html Edited January 30, 2013 by tominger Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Posted January 31, 2013 That does look like a good deal. I want to message but can't find the link if you could locate it would help alot! Thank you so much! Quote
