Group Buys?


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

We think this is a great idea and have been trying to get the groups we sponsor to do the same thing for a while now. If you can get a group of 10 or more, Hookah Life will gladly issue group discount pricing on anything we sell online.

Regards,
Mike

no inconvenience mike, it just seems like right now that hose is popular talk among the users on the boards thats why i suggested starting with that.

we should start off by getting users to list products they would be interested in buying, and then we can go from there

i'll start with

nammor hose.



start listing the products you would be interested in buying, and if we can get enough people requesting the same product, i will email the company and start this off.

I'm interested in getting a Nammor hose, a Mya Wide hose, a large Tangiers Phunnel, and maybe a wind cover thingy.

It is a good idea but what about payment and shipping? Surely the company would want to send it out in one parcel and receive one payment?


Typically you just put a comment in the order that it's for a group buy or something of the sort.  Or they setup an item that you can purchase with a direct link, already discounted.

I'd like to see this with actual hookahs too, as I'm looking to get a Mya QT or Vortex sometime soon. Edited by Big Boss

i think everyone pays their own shipping but the only difference is that you get the product at a slight discount. if your only after that one item it will save you money but if your after more than one item and want to add shisha/coals/new hookah its better to just make your own order and not partake in the list. the entire thing is that your after 1/2 specific items in a discount

Great idea. Here's a twist:

A reverse auction where sellers bid the transaction price lower and lower until a set time expires. Set maximum opening price at least X percent below lowest advertised price. Make a spreadsheet for hf members to subscribe and pay for the full range of of products. Vendor is paid from a reserve account. Good luck. tongue.gif

Anyone remember the first group buy that happened on this forum? Can't remember the posters name, but basically he set up a group buy for I believe Tangiers bowls. He basically accepted a lot of peoples money and vanished.. I think a few people may have gotten their goods, and some people said they spoke to him and apparently he joined the service or some such thing, but needless to say there were quite a few pissed off people.

I'm not sure how everyone plans on doing this, whether everyone will pay one member to get everything, and that person is in charge of shipping everything else out, or some other method of doing this group buy, but please just keep it in your mind that HookahForum.com is not responsible for lost/stolen money/goods, so make sure you all fine-toon your plan before proceeding.

Just a warning.

the payment is sent directly to the vendor not to members.
