I think from Dannmar's standpoint this situation is better than having no takers on the group buy.
I hold no grudges against them, at $1500 I was a buyer. At $1700 I'll still be a buyer, at $2000 I might be but I'm going to look at some other options before I pull the trigger.
keep in mind I was solicited by Dannmar and they made me aware of the group buy on the forum, I was not a member before I got the e-mail from them. I guess they were unaware of the "you have to be a member of this forum before this date or you can not take advantage of group buys" rule also.......
I'll admit it I'm one of those guys that joined to get the group buy. There are 2 ways to look at it:
1) Just as most forums have minimum requirements for # of posts before you are allowed to list something for sale, there should be the same for taking advantage of group buys.
2) The group buy...
