Thanks but No thanks! I'll wait for RV8riveter or Andy or do my own deal.
This exactly the kind of approach that will mess up the "group" buy approach. I find it's interesting, in the two that have occured up til now, they worked perfectly and everyone one won in the end. In niether case, were they an open debate as to what, who, how much, etc. The people who took the initiative to set them up worked to make a good deal for all and shared as the deal came together.
I find what Bob is doing, exactly the same. If he's working to an inital deal, then let him do it. If you go do your own, while his is working it will screw up the effort for the rest of us.
Let's get the moose on the table, what's the issue? An open forum to *debate* the merits of who, what, how much will be just that OPEN. Seats are too custom to have that kind of debate.
Dang, if you are just too anxious to get seats, then go ahead, mess it up for the rest of us. If not, then cool your jets and let the process run it's course. I find nothing wrong with what is taking place. When the deal is structured, I'm sure Bob will post and let us know. Shoot right now, we don't even know who, let alone what, how or how much.
Just remember, there is power in numbers and whether it's 5% or 25%, that's 5% more than most of us will get going onesy-twosey to the vendors.
