No disrespect intended, but is that really difficult to understand? You've got a grand total of 17 posts to this point and a pretty serious chunk of them are in this thread discussing heading up a group buy (which I will participate in). Some guys are really watchful of newbs to begin with, and they certainly aren't on the short list of people to send money to. It's not personal towards you, but I think it would be true of anyone who tried something like this without becoming really well established as a general member that contributes in a meaningful way.
