| What is a group buy. Please explain. |
|
A group purchase is exactly that. Buying X amount of a product at the same time in order to receive a better price than if you went out and bought it by yourself. SteyrAug just had a .50cal group buy and as posted in another thread, he'll be doing a CavArms group purchase in the very near future. |
| It's where someone negotiates a special price for whatever it may be. Most of the time if you buy a certain quantity like for example 10 AR15's, the mfr. will give you a dealer price break. By getting a bunch of folks to commit to buy the item, everyone in the group gets to take advantage of the special price. |

The people that arrange and deal with the logistics of said "group purchases" often end up being highly respected for the selfless act. Sometimes running a group buy can be easy and faily painless...but most of the time it can be a PITA. Hats off to all those willing to go the extra mile to save some bucks for the rest of us. Travis |
