Did someone organize a bumper rechroming group buy in the past? I thought I read that some where? I was wondering if it was worth to try and organize another one?

Here's another "data point" for you guys.
I just ordered a set of the stainless bumpers from Harrington. $1691 delivered to me in Oregon. I really don't think there is any way you'll get them for $1000...no matter how big the group buy. Maybe $1400 if you're lucky. So that said, if you're not willing to put out that kind of cash, look in a different direction. Smart people have said already that some folk's bumpers are in better shape than others. So that really does make it tough for a "group buy" vendor to supply "one price" for everyone. Words of wisdom. If you can find a more inexpensive vendor that can take care of everyone....that's great. If not, some folks will be sorely disappointed. Not a great thing for a "group buy." Think this out very carefully, as you don't want it to blow up with some of your members. |
