Group buy, help the little guys out idea.... - Austin913 - 03-15-2010

I can submit orders anytime with my sponsor Pit Posse. From tools and trailer accessories, to some sportbike parts and accessories. Let me know if I can help.

Alright, since DopeStatus chimed in first... maybe they can be the first company this month.

Maybe select a range of things that you would like to sell (or a combo package. EX: T-Shirt/DVD combo) and maybe some parts and lets put it to a vote. Vote for the item you want. Your vote will count as a good measure for the company to indicate total demand for that product(s) and go from there. If all of the items offered can be done and receive plenty of votes then great... if there are not enough votes for 1 particular item then that item won't be offered at a "Group Buy" discount and normal prices apply.

Would something like that work?

Sounds like a good idea.

Who would be in charge of dealing with all the leg work. Sounds like it would require lots of someones time organizing all funds and what not.

Well auctions would be a different story... but straight up Group Buy's would be directed through the company. No funds would exchange hands except between the customer and the company.

I tried setting up something like this with Pit Posse. They would rather have me deal with everything, rather than a group buy directly through them. They didnt even want to deal with the hassle of keeping a group buy organized, lol. I get a pretty hefty discount on their goods and can pass along the hook up to SR.

for march they do have a coupon code of LUCKY that saves you 15%. I can save you more though.

You have a good idea but group buys might have to be setup differently for different companies.
I'll use clothing companies for example. Some clothing companies keep tons of blank shirts on hand and when an order comes in, they just heat press the design on there. This way they don't have a "limited quantity" per se.
DopeStatus on the other hand, uses screen printed shirts that we outsource and once that design sells out, we discontinue the design. I like to run it this way to keep the designs fresh and so that not too many people have the same design.
Long story short, maybe in our case, we could give a shirt (of their choice) and a dvd or 3 shirt combo at a discounted rate.
I think we could have a calendar with designated months to certain companies or we can have certain days out of each month that each company holds a group buy offer.
So many ways to go about it lol.
