I've reached out to Magnaflow because I saw them comment on another thread. Still no reply; What vendors are you talking about? maybe CJPP? AM muscle?
Group Buy in:
Usually you would contact a participating Vendor who sells the item and ask them if they would be willing to do a Forum Group Buy. The pricing is usually a little less than normal catalog pricing IF the Vendor is willing to knock some $$$ or a % off of the regular price AND only IF the Vendor can sell X-number of units.
So just for an example:
Forum members are interested in X-Widget that is normally $100.00 in every other parts catalog. An "elected member" contacts the selling Vendor and after a discussion, the Vendor says they are willing to sell the same part for $90.00 only if the Forum can get (hypothetical 50) people to participate into the Group Buy. Depending on the part availability and Vendor - some Vendors might require a deposit so that 1) they know they have secured sales for x-amount of product and 2) to avoid wasted time/tire kickers of who "might want to buy", but never come through with the $$$. Some Vendors may also implement a strict timeline of when the Group Buy starts and expires.
That is how many other forums have started and participated in Group Buys.
