Jurgen and others,
I am not endorsing one vendor over the other, but I will give my analysis of the variuos vendors from my conversation with them. Also, there are tidbits that I did not reveal on the info page for fear of lashback. When the final info is in I will be sending out an e-mail.
One thing that I want to say is that the group buy is to benefit us in the group and the producers/venders. Unless we have a good size group for each vendor it may not be so good for us or the vendors.
As it is, there are over 15 guys who expressed interest and who are likely to buy, so even if we split the group, it will be good still.
The prices are great from all vendors, and a single buyer will not likely to get those prices. So we have done good already. I just don't want to affect the vendor's future business, nor the ability of other group buys. If this goes sour, other equipment vendors will not want to deal with us (Pelicanites). Although there is a slim chance of that, but my name and reputation is attached to this deal, and I sure a hell would like to maintain some respectability.
I'll report as soon as I have more information.
Thanks all for your interest.
