I'm doubting they'll discount it as they didn't seem too motivated to make them again in the first place.

In the last group buy they offered $299 for 11-20 buyers, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't match the pricing. In fact, the MSRP was $399 then and it's $380 now. Following that logic, it may perhaps be even cheaper??

That was also when they were actively making and selling the product and now we're asking them to revive it. Doesn't hurt to ask though so email them and report back to us. It looks to me though that they're taking full payments for $380 up front as their group buy-in.

That's a negative Niko..... this is the proper spot for the thread. At some point for it to become an official GB someone (improved or whoever takes the lead) would need to sign up for a GB Vendor Account with IB

They are basically making bars for each order that is put in, but with the low demand they will lose money if they cut us a deal due to the fact that there isn't a lot of people. If anything we're lucky that they saw enough demand to make a few bars for some guys who really want one. Next run will be in a year if the demand is high enough. Pay 400 now or forever hold you peace!

If that's the case, then why the heck did we bother with this interest thread? The idea of the GB is to get special pricing, right?

I'm in for the bar at $300.00, when we get 20 people. I don't know if I wanna pay $400...maybe I'm being petty.

I thought with 20 people we'd get special pricing like the last GB...? 21 people got an even bigger break. Why wouldn't they just do the same thing?

Have you asked them specifically what the pricing would be for 20 orders?

Thanks reaper.
