Hi All, hopefully this is allowed and not in bad taste.
Just wanted to post a quick PSA note. If you've never tried sending pms to 30 (let alone 100) people, it BLOWS. If you've never tried sending out boxes and mail to 30 (let alone 100) people, it SUPER BLOWS.
And if you haven't seen group buys before, they are often side tracked, delayed, etc. Look no further than the cut card group buy for the pitfalls of an experience it can be for the buyers/end users as well. Normally I'd prefer to directly order myself when possible. For this one though, I've long wanted some of these setups and never did the research into getting some made (and it looks like we're saving a substantial amount by ordering in bulk), so thanks to Lincoln for handling this.
If you have the funds and time, I think it's worthwhile and a kind gesture when ordering through group buys to toss the organizer a $ or 2. It costs us as individuals close to nothing, but adds up to $100 or $200 or whatever for the organizer.
I don't know Machine and he in no way is asking for $, just wanted to pass along that if you're part of group buys (that are well run and such sure) from a non vendor, a buck or two or five or even just rounding up the pennies goes a long way.
