. It is too much work to go through if you have no clue as to whether it is worth the bother.......
...I do not have any good advice on how to make it work.
If there was a GB where things didn't go right, the name of this thread would probably be "Why don't Moderators moderate GB's."
With the increase in vendors selling everything from dry goods to livestock on the site, the need for group buys has diminished.
Thanks for your opinion!
Also, I'm not sure where you got the impression that vendors complained about members trading/selling at our swap. All of the vendors at our last swap have been to other swaps before and know exactly what is going to occur. Are there members who take advantage of the open nature of the swap to do some vendoring of their own? Yes. We do our best to police this but it has not been an issue that has generated a large amount of complaints.
