Wow this would be awesome, red, gray, and white dsa!!
I would run this GB with some custom software if it wasn't so soon. (with some help of course! )
whenever you're ready ;-)
I'm in favor of long order periods, since more ppl join and higher MOQs are reached
I have never ran a group buy, but I am interested in running one to engage a bit more with the community and feed my addiction.
Not really sure on how the process begins, and I'd need a few weeks to get some type of application running to manage it all. And I am pretty busy so maybe longer!
(Probably would use Rails + Backbone.js and throw it up on one of my vps, and it would be capable of handling multiple group buys.)
