Group Buy craziness!

[RCCrawler]

I was just scanning through some of the group buy threads and saw all the drama going on and decided to run some numbers.

Patrick has a bunch going on that are being held up due to the reloaded loosing his brass supply, Loveski has one being held up due to an employee taking all the money and running.

Just running some quick numbers it's insane we as members currently have nearly $200,000 sitting out there in limbo. I just did this quick in 5 minutes, there may be some more group buys I missed.

BUY Price Amount(k) Extended
5.56 55 VI 355 73 $25,915
5.56 55 VII 395 61 $24,095
5.56 55 VIII 440 98 $43,120
5.56 75 455 20 $9,100
5.56 68 445 15 $6,675
.45 230 III 390 22 $8,580
.308 147 III 740 11 $8140
9 115 iV 265 42 $11,130
Loveski 370.30 115 $42,584.50


SUM $179,339.50

I have no fear that patrick's supplier will come through for all involved

If you really want a scary number add in all the parts the board members are waiting on from national suppliers
How many of us have orders from january or december we are still waiting on

... Loveski has one being held up due to an employee taking all the money and running.

From what I've read, that statement is not accurate.

...and this is the reason it's going away. We can't handle adversity and are a pretty big group of whiney bitches..

I took it as him just saying there was a shitload of money tied up in group buys, not a bitch session?

I'm/was involved in 4 of these. (some arrived)

I knew what I was in for. You can't honestly tell me, after Sandy Hook happened and the panic started that these orders would just magically fall from the heavens.

I know there is this..., and I know there is that....., But is there any other ammo available right now in the quantities and prices these GB's have offered? I ain't seen nun!

I'm confident my ammo will come. And I didn't look at it as an investment. I looked at it as buying ammo. If I find a deal on the shelf, I buy it.
