Brian, you are setup as administrator and approval person for the group
buy Listserv membership. You have the password in a seperate email.
Principle WISPA members can request subscription to the Buying Group
listserv by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you are a Principle member, post a message to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
you'll need to signup for that by sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry about the two-step, but we don't have
anyway to verify you are a principle member without seeing your message
on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] listserv.. If you have a better idea... please
post it.
If you get rejected, sign up for WISPA Principle membership at:
http://signup.wispa.org/wispa-newacct.html and send in another request
to signup for the Group Buy list - [EMAIL PROTECTED],
Let's try to keep it simple. Be a principle member, signup by sending an
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - save a bunch of money on purchases by
teaming up with others on the private list that want to buy in bulk. Do
your diligence on the list, make your calls, and swap info with each
other. Don't call me/email me whinning because it didn't work out for
you. Take on your own responsibility for making it work. It can, I've
done it, and it works. Brian's got a good start with around 50% off the
equipment he is interested in.

ASAP!
Thanks

I know you don't support the idea of group buys.
It's not that I don't support the concept, truthfully, I could care
less
whether you buy your gear from a distributor, reseller, or direct
from the
manufacturer
I have just seen it implemented (rather unsuccessfully) many times
by ISPs
such as yourselves, and am trying to help you avoid making such a
mistake
The idea of a WISP buying group is nothing original, for the past
few years,
I've seen this idea come up at least once a month on some WISP
listserv /
forum / etc...
However, if it was really that "easy and simple" -- why hasn't it been
implemented yet on a consistent long term basis?
Here's my observation
-The guys that fail with their buying group end up getting their
inventory
liquidated on Ebay, go bankrupt and disappear
-The guys that just barely sell their inventory realize how much of
a PITA
the organization/operation is, and go back to buying from their
distributor/reseller/etc
-The guys that are extremely successful become resellers/distributors
