Re: UK spec Audiotron Bulk Buy

["Matthew Norman" <mafiu@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with this wholeheartedly.  Mostly bulk buy coordinators have
to risk
that if the buy fails for some reason they may loose some personal
money.
If nothing else this was demostrated with the fuji buy - in that the
coordinator was one of the ones who ended up with no fuji to play
with.  I
beleive that some contingency funds should be built into all bulk buys
and
if that contingency is not called upon then the coordinator keeps it. 
Call
it profit - who cares?...  The person who's done the work gets a bit
of a
reward.  And the rest of us get a product cheaper than we could
have
individually.  If anything we've all made some money by obtaining
something
for less than the going rate.

If its fair for us its fair for the coordinator.
