I'm an idiot and never heard of this until seeing it here. Can someone explain to me what a group buy is, how it's done, and the benefits of starting one?

Thanks

It's basically when a group of folks get together to buy an item, usually a fairly expensive item.

In placing a good-sixed order, they can sometimes save money.

How they are done is strictly up to the person in charge, or by a group vote usually.

Are group buys usually worked out with the manufacturers?
