Group Buy experience poll

Just wondering what your experience has been with any group buys you have participated in. Were they worthwhile for you? Do you think you got a good deal. After consideration of freight costs, ability to quickly get replacements for defective parts, and vendor responsiveness etc,. would you think twice next time? I'm not looking for actual group buy names but feel free if you want.

 

I've never participated...I've heard some bad stories but it was never because of the members...it was the seller

 

i was in on the wet okole group buy back in march or april. it went great and i saved a lot of money. but ive also heard some pretty bad horror stories too. its kind of a luck of the hand type of thing

 

I was in the last WO group buy and was very pleased! Got a great deal and it did not take too horribly long for me to get them.. now getting them installed is a whole nother story!

 

been in on 2 hid gb's and the wet okole gb. all 3 went well. had a prob with one of my bi-xenon hid's on the taco and i had a replacement from slimcubby and hid's back up and running within a week. very pleased with the groupbuys so far.

 

Slimcubby's GB goes smoothly every time. One bad bulb and had a replacement 2 days later. Great customer service!

 

+1 for awesome Wet Okole GB!

 

+2 for awesome Wet Okole GB!

 

X3 and it took me a while to do the install as well.

 

ive been in one two Slimcubby HID group buys and both were great. and also a grillcraft one as well

 

i've got in on a few- URD short shifter, HIDs, all pro rear bumper, Pop-n-lock, etc... all my experiences have been good.

 

Got in on 2 Grillcraft group buys, both saved me a few bucks and service was fine. I even got a tee shirt thrown in on the first one.

 

Im one of the rare ones that had a good experience in the revenge fab group buy. Wouldnt buy from him again due to what everyone else has gone through, but cheap and got the sliders relatively quick.

 

Did the Wet Okole group buy,went off with out a hitch!

I have participated and hosted group buys

I have saved some cash participating.

hosting them is a different story, you get everyone jumping on it, then its kind of a pain when it comes times to actually complete the order. not a huge deal, but a PITA sometimes

If they go smoothly, group buys are a nice option

I partcipated in the Wet Okole and the Total Chaos UCA group buy. Everything went fine.

 

Great experience and value through a Toytec Group Buy. Neubs was the lead and kept a very open line of communication.

 

I have been in hid, grillcraft, arb strap, tc uca, sliders, pop n lock and maybe a few others.

They go well most of the time. As long as Its a reputed member and seller you should be fine.
