Thread: Maestro-Group Buy

Look what happens everytime there is a drawing for a giveaway. There is mysterioulsy an increase by dozens of new members that get their names in on the boards, wait to hear if they won, and never post again.

I agree with your sentiment, especially since I am in that top 30... But it's up to Lynn to figure out how to get these out...
He could just as easily limit entry into the buy by setting certain rules, like minimum post count, or the user must show that he's contributed to the community...
I'm glad I don't have to be the one who sets the rules.

Maybe Lynn should raffle off the razors... $300 per ticket, 2 ticket maximum per member... with the extra funds going to SRP... boy wouldn't that be fun???

There's no way to please everybody.

I prefer the square scales.
Love the olive wood.
Love the blade selection.
Now, just waiting to find out how to get one!

Open a thread asking who wants one. Payment deadline within one week, or whatever you would figure it would take to mail in payment.
Form a list based on who post first.

That first thread was simply ask what features most would want in a group buy razor.

So start a new thread based on who actually wants one and who can pay within a set deadline. These razors are to be sold, not given away. So if someone has the cash now........money talks.

I agree with the previous observation about a new poster with their very first post being in a giveaway thread, and never posting again.......well said.

We can sit here and create senarios of how to distribute these razors from now to xmas but in the end Lynn will have to decide the aim in creating this sale and take the appropriate action to accomplish his aim. There will be upset people no matter what he does but hey, this isn't a democracy here. So just sit tight and await the verdict.

I fully agree anything Lynn choses to do is fine with me just so long as I'm on the list

I'd love to be considered for the group buy...

Thanks to Lynn for putting this together.

not sure if i'm in or not (still new) but if all goes well and we get a good price my woman usually doesn't have a problem if it's a good deal, she knows my interests run..... shall we say expensive and this interest is cheaper thus far than my previous ones AND she does seem to enjoy the way I smell after My morning shave and thats without fancy creams or soaps.

i'v just gone back over a lot of the responses to this thread and WOW I shall remove my name from this HUGE hat as the smart thing would be to 1st completely learn what my Dovo is capable of for a while. but one day I shall OH YES I SHALL shall do what I'm not entirely sure but I WILL DO IT!

Good luck with this all boys. I won't play since I don't have the spare $$$ lying around. (Baby coming and all that)

But you DO know that I'm expecting plenty of Pica's!

If there's only 30 razors available I suggest only those who don't have a Maestro yet are eligible So, would you please put me on the list, Lynn?
