someone want to organize a group buy???

There are a bunch of people on rennlist who wish to buy the evo intake. The problems is that the proper way to buy it would be directly from the manufacturer to get the best price for the members. However since Evo seemingly isn't a sponsor there they want to do it through a middleman which is contrary to the best interests of the members. Any Evo personel interested?

Obviously it raises a distributor/manufacturer claim, but if the buy is done here first through the manufacturer there is no conflict of insterest. I am a little PO'D with someone's stance that they should go through a middleman/distributor in breach of the duty of loyalty to the members. As such I think it would be nice to have this done through here and through EVO regardless of whether I myself participate or not. I can understand that some deference should be given there to the sponsor there however again, boards are supposed to be for the best interest of members whether or not sponsors reap any benefit.

I know people are going to flame me about this but I don't like it when people are not really helping the members to the full extent possible, I mean after all isn't that the purpose of the forum?

The thread is on rennlist of people expressing interst under

Which Intake?

I didin't inquire into being able to add them for that application and count towards the price but they appear to be basically simular. I wonder if the prices are the same, if so then it shouldn't be an issue other than noting quantities for each- and counting them towards the aggregate
