Heads up to the guy who does end up setting one up.

Thankfully, we can quickly figure this out by searching the member's post.

It may sound unfair the new guys but it's a precaution that most should take when considering organizing a group buy.

All the group buys I've had on RS have been successful ones, however, it is mainly due to dealing with people that are regulars on this forum.
for the group buys i've organized on vcc, it's always involved a non-refundable deposit. this has been great to weed out the flakers at an early stage. everyone loves to jump on board when it seems like a great idea but tend to bail just before payment comes up.
