    In a past group buy, there was a distributor that posed as a buyer and was PMing group buy participants for details on the group buy. Upon receiving the information he stirred up and raised hell due to the prices to the manufacturer.

    He almost killed the group buy for us.

    We need to prevent this issue from happening, you're cooperation is greatly appreciated.

    Per Lauren's email, do not post discount or prices, comparison of deals we get vs other deals we find online, etc to the thread.

    I didn't see anything on the email discussing the type of kits involved on the threads, but if Lauren asks me to take that info down, I will be requesting @tcBob or you to delete these posts.

    Thanks!

    Again, if you have not received your email, let me know.

    yea there was no mention of discussing what we're actually getting, but I'll gladly delete that if needed. We should be able to discuss it, if it's worth it, comparisons... etc. all without getting into pricing.

    but thanks.

    I know a lof of us may be restless for a response.

    She did email over 75 people last night. You can only imagine how full her inbox is at the moment. Keep in mind that she probably has full time job and what not.

    Let's be patient. I hear from her about once or twice a day. Ill keep you guys updated.

    did you try replying and requesting something you want?

    remember, we can reply and request another option.

    the packages offered were put together by the distributor and they are to get us started selectionwise. if its not what we want, we can request additional options, mix match, etc.

    Just figured I would post a quick reply thanking all the dealers and people involved. Also how much we appreciate all the hard work. This is an excellent idea, and we all appreciate the opportunity to possibly buy some cool gear!!
