On other car/truck forums I've been to there's usually a group buy section that people can set-up to get bulk purchases of product at discounted prices. Why don't we have anything like that here? I think with this being the most active Liberty forum we could get some interest in this??

Been tried before somewhat
you have 500 who say they want something
but then after its time to order you have a dozen maybe
Plus most of the people who have parts for Liberty's already are giving us a decent price as it is
so not that much markup
But hey you could try anything you considering?

I'm sure there's others out there who wouldn't mind picking one up (they seem to be pretty popular here).

For that specific product, don't count on it. As Tom said, you'd be lucky to get 5 buyers with cash in hand out of 50 that sign up for one. Also, Flowmaster has so many retailers they won't give a discount worth squat for 5 people, let alone 50. You can get a bigger discount going directly to a retailer. Summit racing has those exact ones for about $15 less than direct from Flowmaster. I have seen those $105 super44's on ebay recently for about $60, recently. Group buys aren't worth the effort anymore.

Admit group buys are pretty tough - unless done locally and in cash perhaps.

Why not try to get discount codes together at least and post them somewhere. Have collected a lot of them while shopping for the KJ last few months - I always ask for dicounting online or go hunting for discount codes.

A lot of them online if you search, jeepforum actively goes out for them in their advertisers, and groupon might be another place to start something?

Here are a couple I've gotten last few weeks:

Rockauto 5% off - 45853253761045 in "How Did You Hear About Us" at checkout.
Morris 4x4 %10 off order - FORUM9
Morris 4x4 $20 off on purchases of $175 or more - E20110203
Summit free shipping - YFSH02

Have a few Canadian ones if any Canucks are interested.

... perhaps a new thread in the Trading post - or a new section there even might be helpful?
