Pooling resources to buy components from China. Any interest?

Well you know me and bottom fishing, but that's just not in the kind of quantity you are talking about, and my purchases tend to be driven by the deal, to be shelved for later, rather than by need... That being said, both I and Crossroads are pretty local.. if you are looking for the oddball item now and then feel free to hit me up. You never know what oddness I have shelved.

I also will try to post 'hey I found..' when I find those deals I seem to find in the middle of the night..

I will attest that the time investment in finding the awesome deals is often unreasonable. I find these deals because I sometimes have hours to kill, distracting myself.. Which results in a savings of two bucks on a random pile of LEDs or something. It's not something you want to make a profit at.. At best, maybe we ought to create a thread specifically focused on Found Deals that can be recreated. My one off purchases are not representative of reality...
