True. Everyones want a groupbuy then when it happens, no one wants in.Probably because it's a hassle and people keep backing out.
We have all upgreated. Where have you been?:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Just had my car since the summer, so i get that point
But lurked here for 5 years, and always noticed the tons of groupbuys, now that i got the car... it seems gone:frown:
Agree. Impulse buyer here as well. "Instock" gets my attention, "currently out of stock" saves me money.:wink:I was never into group buys. I am rarely involved and I think I flaked on one. So if that had an influence on the drop...whoops...my bad. :wink: I am more of an impulse buyer.

this is very trough indeed. And these days the likely hood of people canceling last moment is even larger.The GB's that require 'X' number of confirmed(i.e. deposits) buyers usually doesn't go over very well. One of the major factors always seems that the vendor will give 'x' length of time for people to get on board, then, invariably, you will have folks wait till the last minute and jump in, or off, or worse, try to get in on the deal after the deadline has past as they finally talked themselves into it.
Then the vendor knows how many products are 'wanted' and begins to produce them after the GB finally closes. Then with all of the unexpected delays in labor, times, materials, etc. it ends up taking months/years longer to provide product than was originally thought/said/promised.
That in turn will cause people to certainly change their minds and demand a refund and be really reluctant to get involved with GB's in the future.
Unless the product is something that a TON of people want, can be made 100 different ways to suit everyones taste/need/flavor, and is being sold for practically nothing, GB's rarely work out.
JMHO
