G'day Everyone,

Well long story short, I'm working Casual for a fella at the moment who can get or import what ever you need for your Italian motorcycle...

I will be able to get a secure job if i can show i am able to get some money in other then general sales and work.

I was wondering if i was to organise a group buy what would people want to be able to get there hands on...

I was thinking something small like, Sprocket sets (smaller or standard) just a thought...

Anyway please let me know what you think!

If its a Crap idea please say so! haha

Cheers

I was shouted down for asking too many questions the last time somebody suggested this ... so I will try and stay out of it.

Good luck.

It's not crap Marty.
By anything you/we want what brand(s) are we talking about?
How many people do you need to make it a group buy?
What kinda discount are we talking about?
Lastly, how would the items be distributed i.e. NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS etc...

Just scouting at this stage Matty, Just trying to see what or if people are looking for common things...

Once we (or if we) have interest we will look into postage options and finer details

Quite right


I wonder if we will end up with another sponsor?

But let us look after what we already have

And this is what I predict will happen in this instance as well - check out the replies, wide and varied, and nothing that screams "quantitiy discount".

Not trying to be argumentative or to deter people from trying - just that we are a relatively small group and unless there is something that will be of universal appeal to 10-20% of active people here, we are not going to attract any quantity discounts from anyone (nor should we expect one!)

Yep with our little group of people and a variety of bikes and bike ages group buying anything other than
chains/sprockets, oil and oil filters would be difficult.

We are lucky to have a specific board sponsor and people should be taking advantage of it.
