OK, so I'm a sucker for the Co-op. |

This seems pretty Widely Baked to me. A quick Google turns up plenty of cooperative buying sites. (And don't forget - coops pool not profits, but buying power, to lower their wholesale costs.) |

The reason these fail is that the superstores effectively provide this leverage to the consumer already, without any of the hassle. Just go to Costco |

yes, many failed because they tried to accumulate the orders and later deliver but when it is done in association with existing online and brick and mortar stores it works out well. Just because technology available people cannot postpone their requirements. But pre planning of our requirements is what generates lots of savings. I am unable to post the link here but there is an organization in India connecting thousands of farmers,suppliers and consumers and still running at good profits. |

I hate to ruin the party here but I think that if I was wrapped up into something like this, I would have already mentally spent the money before the year ended. Then I would be pretty upset with everyone who didn't buy their fair share. |
