    Group Buy Ideas?

    If we did another group buy, what would you be interested in?

    I'll let this run for a while, and then I will take a few of the suggestions and put up a poll.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    An affordable 22LR pistol. Browning, Ruger, 1911 something along those lines.

    How about something like a Ruger SR22PS for $359 out the door?

    What's the price difference between this and the standard SR22?

    I personally have no need for the threaded barrel...

    Not trying to be a lowballer or anything and I want y'all to make money but Trophy Creek in Monticello has the same thing for $357 OTD. Neither one of those prices seem like group buy savings. The Type 53's were a great value. Yes they required some fixin' up but how could anyone turn that down. Maybe the police trade-ins would fit that pattern better.

    You know, we still have a source to get $110 dollar Type 53's again. I was hesitant to post since I don't believe we could sell 15 to 20 of them though.

    I realize that. I based that on a single unit price. If we had 10 folks go for it, we could probably get a decently lower prices from the distributor, and we would be willing to work with less markup. Its a lot less effort for us to distribute guns the way we did with the T53's than it is to have 1 appointment every day for the next 10 days.
