14th Ed. CERM - trade in older ed. offer

There is a trade-in offer available through PPI for the 14th edition of CERM. You will need to deface your older edition (13th edition and older) and send them your cover. This may not be a good offer for anyone taking the exam this October, but it will be good for those taking the exam in April 2015. CERM 14 edition has updated codes (most of them related to the transportation code changes).

The current cost to upgrade:

Before 10/1/2014 - $125

10/2/2014 - 12/1/2014 - $155

12/2/2014 - 1/1/2015 - $215

$215 is an upgrade price?? I thought the CERM was $150-$200 new, no? At least that's what I paid for my 10th, back in the day. :-/

yeah the prices are a bit steep, but it's cool they're offering a discount. pretty rare for a book publisher. i paid $200 for my 13th edition back in June. a new 14th edition is currently selling for $261.

Unfortunately, yes it is. I paid about $250 for my 13th edition and I just bought it less than a year ago. I'm willing to pay $125 to get a newer edition with updated codes. Hopefully those interested will not wait until the last minute to upgrade, as I don't think $215 is a good deal...
