i've been kicking around this idea for alittle bit, and would like your input. i got this card from craftsman at the nationals a few years ago that gives me a discount on tools, and i get info in the form of a flyer from them informing me of unadvertised specials from them. mac tools is the official sponcer of the u.s. nationals this year, and i was thinking of seeing if i could arrange a similar deal for us bolters. i also thought it could work for suppliers of parts and services. i DO NOT WISH TO ENDORSE OR TRY TO SELL ANY ONE PRODUCT IN PATICULAR. the concept is to try to use our collective buying power to get us all the best prices on the goods and services we use. an example of this is the refrigerant i buy for my auto air business. i do not pay retail, not even close, but i buy in a greater quantity. if i could arrange it so that we became a buying block, instead of individuals, we all might get a better deal. think of it this way---rabid capitalism. what do you guys think? no advertising on the page, but info on how to find a better deal for bolters. the ideal situation would be a membership type thing from several supplies of the same product, that way no one products is endorsed, and you choose where and what you buy based on your preference, and price.
