how is this different than gathering orders and making one big order to SP or any other manufacturer?
"independently organized group buys" is what the sub-forum sub-title says. This groupbuy was independently organized using SP's new Groupbuy feature.
I think they give 1 item free to the group-buy organizer if 25units are sold, so that might make people believe I'm advertising for self interest. I don't care about the free keycap, I already ordered 12.
