Sorry for not getting back sooner. Group buys, I had the idea of being able to buy a kit in bulk and maybe getting some kind of discount, Would this work for this kinda of SIG. ?

I'm not sure it has an application in our hobby - but it might on some of the more popular/bigger kits - I've normally seen it done on some of my car enthusiast forums where a group buy on a particular aftermarket part is arranged and the vendor of that item agrees that if a certain minimum number of the item is purchased at once, they will offer a discount to all those involved. It is a nice way for vendors to give back to a community that supports them.

I'm not sure what capacity I could help with but I'm willing. I'd be happy to assist with the news letter or create a free kit every now and again.
