I know I've been gone for a while, but here's my 2 cents on LFS group buys.
I know when I was on the board I tried to do several group buys for CUC. None of them ever went through because of either not enough interest, or inability by the LFS to give more than a "yea we're interested".
It goes both ways. While I believe that the community has to support the LFS, the LFS also has to be willing to support the community. If they want to download a group buy, they need to take the lead and follow through. They also have to offer prices just over cost. The whole point of a group buy is to save money. If the LFS isn't willing to not make as much, then there's no point trying to use them.
Bottom line, it goes both ways. Some of the LFS are freaking awesome and will go out of their way to help you. Some are on high horses that they rarely come down from unless they are desperate.
I know my opinion doesn't matter much since I don't have a tank, but there it is.
