Vancouver, BC GTG and Group Buy

[Rippin]

Hi all,

Starting this new thread so that the "Group Buy" component of the GTG is more visible. The original thread is here:

Based on what was discussed in a previous thread, here are the details so far:

GTG
Proposed Date: July 30th, 2011
Proposed Meeting Place: Downtown Vancouver, room arranged by J.Alan
If it's a nice day maybe we can then move to a restaurant patio somewhere in the vicinity.
AD Tour: Suggestions? Do we want to do this? Note: Depending on the amount of people that attend the GTG the logistics of carting everyone around to different ADs might be an issue. Also ADs may not like having a very large group invade their store without some advanced notice.


Group Buy
There is no guarantee that we are going to get any increased discount compared to individual shopping. We need to get a concrete list of group buy participants (serious buyers) and which watch(es) they'd like to purchase. Once we have this list we can approach our contacts within the city to see what level of discount they can give us. We can then compare our notes and decide on a final AD to complete the group purchase, if it's still worth while. Let's break in to those piggy banks! A large number of group buy participants will give us more leverage when bargaining! We need the watch details if you are participating the the group buy (see below). No commitment is necessary until we get the final numbers and publish it to the participants, but if you agree with the discount and AD buying terms we hope you will follow through.


Final date to submit your Group Buy participation details: July 25th, 2011
