New 'Group Buy' Section?

[Hypnotiz3r]

Don't know if this has ever been brought up before, but I think it would be great to have a 'Group Buy' sub section in 'The Corner Store' section of the forums.

I know there are numerous times that people who are very interested in these deals but end up missing out because they missed the "hidden ultra top secret" group buy thread hidden somewhere throughout the forum.

Good idea or no?

wouldnt that be the vendor section?

I agree with the OP
Yes they get listed in the Vendors Aisle and throughout all the vendors sections
But if they are all listed in one section they will get alot more feedback from customers
I think every Vendor would get alot more action on their group buys if this section was added

Yes, but there are times that vendors don't make posts about group buys but "non-vendor" status users do..maybe this would just be opening up a can of worms.

Also, the vendor isle gets populated with a bunch of stuff not having to do with group buys (ie. upcoming products, revisions, etc..)

But if they are all listed in one section they will get alot more feedback from customers

Exactly. It would stick out, getting a lot more attention.

considering any forum-user based group buy has to be Ok'd by the admin, i dont see any reason it shouldnt be lumped in to the vendor section with the rest of the sales.

I say we have a group buy on Fargo's!!. Everybody should have one under thier car.

I think this is a excellent idea. If it were to remain a sticky over the duration of the sale in the vendor section and once done, released off the top. BUT, we just don't have enough moderators to handle something like this right now IMO.

working on it, but BT is still working on getting the billet machined thin enough to fit under the car

thats the concern i have. we just dont have the capacity.
