    Why are we not allowed to organize GB ourselves?
    Maybe it is explained on the website, but I couldn't find an answer.

    this is my question as well. Seems like, the GB excitement is real, but the GB fulfillment is very slow.

    I suppose it's to stop someone from just claiming all the money and then not buying the end product. If it's done through a Moderator in theory everything should run flawlessly.
    To add I don't think that theirs anything to stop you from doing a private group buy but you do that at your own risk!

    I understand that completly. And I would feel better if a mod is involved. But why doesn't any of these group buys launched? Are there not enough mods on the forum?
    I have applied for many GB but never has any of them come through.
