In an effort to make things more understanding and less complicated, our own "ZETAJAZZ44" has graciously from his busy schedual, volunteered a real good system to make things more organized. He'll post and explain. Many of you have also volunteered help and I don't want to exclude you from a much appreciated "THANK YOU". More heads are always better than one.
As CHANCE has said, he and I have been working on a system that will enable him to better manage these group buys.
After seeing some of the challenges he was facing regarding email lists..etc., Since I am a software developer by trade and love to write code, I volunteered to develop a Group Buy Management System for him to use.
This system will require everyone that wants to be included on the group buy(s) to register for it. It is a straight-forward registration process and does not collect sensitive user data. Basically this system will enable CHANCE to keep good records of each person who wants included in the group buy, the main forum they are a member of, their forum username and email address... This system also collects product information about which product(s) that you are interested in purchasing through the group buy and each item's quantity.
As I said before, this is a very straight-forward registration process and I don't think that anyone will have any problems completing the process. If you should encounter any problems with registration, please post your concerns here and CHANCE or I will respond to that post.
Even if you have already sent an email to CHANCE requesting to be included in this group buy, you will
STILL HAVE TO REGISTER THROUGH THIS SYSTEM IN ORDER TO BE INCLUDED. There is not a lot of error trapping written into this system so it will be the responsibility of the person registering to
MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT IS CORRECT. Also please be sure that you choose the appropriate product(s) that you are interested in purchasing from the list as well.
The link to the registration page is:

Again, if anyone has any question or should encounter any problems please posts those concerns here on the boards to be answered.
Thanks in advance,
