A fellow member made a suggestion about GROUP BUYS. He and I mulled it over and came up with a modification to the original idea. This is what we're going to do with it.
Under the "FOR SALE and WANTED" category, there will be a new "GROUP BUY" folder. When a member decides to initiate a group buy, as has Jess (RE5 starter clutches) and Kanonkopdrinker (Primary chains), they can start a thread under that GROUP BUY folder. They can notify me by PM or I'll probably notice it as I'm usually here every day. I'll make that new group-buy thread a "Sticky" so that it will remain at the top. I'll also change the banner ad to notify members of a new group buying opportunity.
Interested members can respond to the thread. The initiator can monitor the thread and when they have the requisite number of subscribers, they can "action" the buy. Once actioned, I'll unstick the thread and remove the banner ad but it will still be there within the Group buy folder.
This way, any member can quickly see what buying opportunities are available and hopefully more attention will be generated for the initiator of the buy to ensure they get as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Keep an eye out for it.
