First, ask for names of parties that would be interested in a group buy in a relative price range. That would give you a number to go back to manufacturer for pricing. When you have a fixed price from the dealer, come back to the list and get firm email commitments from individuals. Once you've waited a couple of weeks and have your final numbers, ask for payment (in full) from everyone and notify the manufacturer of the needed number of systems. Use the early arriving checks as a down payment to the manufacturer and when the last check has arrived, complete the transaction with the supplier. Continue to keep everyone up to date on any information that you have regarding timelines, and ship the product when you get it in hand. Notify each individual that there system has been shipped and include a tracking number so they can anticipate it's arrival.

I'd really appreciate any hints and tips you could pass on. I want to make sure things live up to expectations, especially as a replacement exhaust is expensive. Thanks Robin
