Buyers Club America

First let me say that I am not trying to Spam or sell anyone anything.
I talked to Rich and he told me to go ahead and post this here.

Over on Glock Talk a bunch of us got together came up with an idea to start a buyers co-operative. so that we could go in together and buy gun related products together as one entity to knock the prices down by buying in volume one thing led to another and ideas flew and we came up with a club and named it Buyers Club America. I have been working on this for two months and am in the process of opening accounts with a bunch of major Gun and accessories Manufactures/Distributors where we will be posting their catalogs and price sheets in a members only area on the site where members can go in browse through the catalogs and price sheets and use the online shopping cart to order anything in these catalogs all at distributor/Manufacture direct prices with no mark ups

The only fee for this particular package is $20.00 annually and that helps pay the clubs overhead year to year we also have free membership program where once a month we go in and choose a product or two find the best price Vs quantity break. then we post the price of the item and try to get enough people together to meet that minimum quantity. this part is free of any charges but does not include the online catalogs or the ability to buy an item at your leisure.

This is not a for profit club just the opposite we started this based on a desire for rock bottom prices on guns, ammo and accessories something like what we are doing has been a great need for along time now just look at how bad prices at the retail end of the industry has climbed look at mag prices for instance for the most part the hike in price is B.S. and as soon as I get the FFL set up we can all buy guns distributor direct and hopefully manufacture direct as well.

With the rate people have been joining we expect to be up over a 1,000 members in the next few months.

Most manufactures require a pretty good sized deposit to prove growth and over the last few days we have already received a significant boost in advanced membership pledges even before we have all of the accounts open and this has been the seed to get things rolling.

I hope you will all join us in this venture and when all is said and done and the catalogs are up and running if anyone hates the prices for any reason they will be granted a full refund.

Bottom line I am hoping for your trust and your faith in seeing how this going to work and I hope you will stand with us while we get this going.

Here is a link to the temporary site while we wait for the domain to be setup once there you can click on the membership button and fill out the online form and choose either the free group purchase package or the full $20.00 package which includes the future online catalogs.

Thanks Again Rich and everyone here who came over and signed up the responce from here has been tremendous to the effort.

If you have not yet signed up please take a look and see what we are all about.
 
Looks real good. Count me in.. As I spend most of my time on AR15.com, I'm glad I dropped by TFL tonight.

Hey, have you thought about talking to Edward Avilla (AR15.COM Administrator) about posting the info there. I'm sure you'd get a warm response from the AR crowd over there.
Just a thought!

Lots more coming later prices will get cheaper once we have more accounts open and can compare it's like grocery shopping some stores (distributors in this case) have better buying relations with different manufactures which means better pricing.

mean while if you have not signed up for membership please consider it remember if we work together the prices will just keep falling

Ok just to update everyone:

We pulled the deal on the Q3131 I talked directly with Winchester on Wednesday and they gave me a big song and dance about the reliability of the recent Q3131 Lots.

I did find out however that these particular cases of Q3131 are indeed the trouble makers.

I want to thank everyone here especially for jumping on and joining BCA and for alerting us of this dangerous and unreliable batch of Q3131.

We are now looking at going straight to IMI for the replacement deal.

We will see if it is cost effective to directly import from IMI.

In just three days we took in over 250 pledges for the .223 ammo totaling 425 cases and with a mininum group quantity of 500 cases we would have met that deadline easily. at least this was good trial run to see how the club would perform on meeting goals and that we all did flawlessly.

Meanwhile if you have not joined yet please consider doing so.

Remember we are all working together on this and once all is said and done and you don't like the prices we can get then you will get a full refund no questions asked on your membership.

But we need that advanced signing on to make this thing scream forward each one of you represents a percentage of buying power that all of us as a group will greatly benefit from.

to join go to the club site
www.buyersclubamerica.com
and click on the membership button to join.

And a special thanks to the great number of users here that have already signed up

We will officially begin taking orders out of the online distributor catalogs on November 10, 1999
 
HOW MUCH FOR A CASE OF .223??!?!?!!?!

AAARRRGGHHHH!!!


(I paid much much more... :( )

And now for the update.


I just filled out the ATF application for Importation of Firearms and ammunition certificate

Yes soon BCA will be a licensed importer of Guns & Ammo

This means we are going straight to IMI in Israel to get IMI from then on and straight from Eastern Europe to import 7.62x39 and other types of ammo.

Got a fax back today from IMI and our account with them is open pending the completion of our import certificate

It will take roughly 6 weeks for the form to process with the BATF

then we have to file under form 6 permit to import ammo shipments.

God I love the Feds Not!

I use to import computer parts from Hong Kong and Taiwan so I feel I have a good grip on the ropes through customs.

While we wait I am going to keep searching here in the U.S. for a good ammo deal
should have another batch of .223 lined up soon this time a very good batch hopefully the same price as the last run but that will take some work but we will find it.

The People who have jumped in and signed up for the $20.00 Platinum membership have provided the financial back-bone for this project which allowed us to get this club off the ground and help pay the high costs of starting something like this.

Thanks again for your positive input, faith, and trust that has advanced us towards our goal which is to never pay retail on guns & accessories and soon electronics & Military Surplus ever again.
 
Hi Rich,

Here is a basic description break-down of both programs that the club currently offers.

Thanks-Again
