Group buy ideas... does anyone have interest and if so what are the interests......

[Diamondback]

What if instead of price, we had our own "special color" run of Pmags? For example, White Tiger Tactical had a run of banana-yellow Magpul AK mags, and Gun Mag Warehouse had some exclusive trans-red Lancers...

So why not a special run with the M4C logo, maybe, oh, I dunno... say, Bacon Colored? Priced competitive with retail but the difference going as a site fundraiser?

Can't promise I'd be in on either of these, but maybe a run of decent-quality lowers and/or 80%s lasered with the M4C logo (and optionally for a little extra, username)? (Maybe site sponsors get a slightly different engraving with a "Site Sponsor" banner added.)

Just spitballing ideas... I don't wear T-shirts, so something to show "pride of membership" on the range might be kinda cool... something unique, like a secret handshake only for us in the know.

Stripped forged Centurion lower with the cool spear logo.

I also think this is a great idea.

I'd also probably be in for a BCM BCG and LPK, and maybe a Geissele trigger.

Okay here is my reasoning on some of the suggestions so far. A lot of us already have plenty of spares of the commonly available parts that we stock up on at Black Friday prices. A group buy would only equal or possibly beat that cost by a little. Limited pool of potential buyers.

Two areas that I think would generate wider interest are:
1.) High buck items that don’t often go on sale over 10% off normal street price. Nightforce and Acogs come to mind.
2.) Unique items that are not available otherwise. Custom marked mags, limited run uppers/lowers etc.

A group buy on Lancer L5 AWM mags would be nice, but not sure if that's possible. Awesome mags, but damn they're expensive.

Group buy on GI mags isn't a bad idea either.

Scalarworks BUIS would be nice.

Maybe a group buy on Geissele SSP's... If they ever get released..

TNVC Sentinels

Not sure how possible that would be considering the price of admission but that would be bad a**. I'd be in if I could keep from being divorced in the process lol

That’s the formula for successful group buys.

1) Unique items that a manufacturer won’t produce without a certain number (often the magic number is 50). Example: Geissele 10.75” handguard, Centurion set, etc.

2) New items soon to launch do that the discount is treated as marketing to get the reviews and buzz going.

There’s no incentive for a seller to mark down regular items that are unless they believe in a certain cause. If our cause is that we’re cheap bastards, that’s a non-starter. If we are helping a disabled vet pay medical bills, that may. Geissele sold their then-new scope mount to 200 people for only $200 a while back to help with a similar situation.

Payments on group buys usually work directly with the seller. Either a special checkout page or a phone call.

I say let Stickman pick something from the suggestions that he thinks realistic and unique or new and see where people are at with interest.

Personally, I like that idea quite a bit.

Sounds good.
