Starting a Group Buy
 
Hi Mods. What are the rules for non sponsors to start a group buy?

86_ZN6 08-22-2012 09:20 PM

Basically you need to be a vendor/sponsor to start selling here and host a Group buy

We will gladly start any group buy that members would want. Shoot us over what you are interested in an we will work with you to get it started. Of course we will offer an incentive for the requester :)

Simple. You can't. There was a group buy for Flossy shift knobs that got shut down just because. No one was making money, just a member helping other members get a discount. Luckily I got mine before all the rules were in place.

Sad rule really, but necessary in some way I am sure. What you planning on getting? :)

That's a big bummer. I was on that Flossy GB too.

I have a friend that work at Meganracing. They just got their shipment of EZ Street and Street Series coil overs. I know there's a lot of hate from the elite crew on this site about their brand. I have yet to experiences their products first hand. But the price my friend quoted was too good to past up. I'll post a review after I have them installed.

Yea. I mean, there are good reasons though. Mainly to protect us against scammers. I remember about 6 years ago a prelude forum I was on got scammed by one of the most well known members.

Your best bet is to try to get Meganracing to become a vendor on here, so they can start the group buy themselves. They might not mind the vendor fee.

This may sound silly, but I've never taken M.Racing seriously, based from what appears to be a company created by a boy obsessed with his GF! What do you know about them really?
