Why Don't We Have More Group Buys?

Agree. I also noticed that there are many threads that have material that is completely for amateurs while we find it difficult to close some GBs that have material that would change our lives. There should also be a check on the level of the threads. I do not think that thousands of posts with presets or with actions are better than seminars of award-winning photographers. I thing a seminar of a top photographer or videographer changes the way you work for the better. The presets is only a quick and lazy solution.
Τhat is where we need to focus.

 

i used to participate in GB..sometimes i bough upto 3 slots ......since i wasnt shooting for a while..i took a break..when i was willing to participate..the one i am interested is kinda in expensive range..50 or 100 usd.. so may be in future

 

Very true...Learning how to do something is way better than a quick fix.

 

As you stated I've seen other members go in more than once. Personally I've done a couple of Gb's just to help out even though I have no interest in that GB. We have so many here that it would be great if others stepped forward sometime to help out instead of waiting for someone to fulfil a request.

 

I agree, there should be more!

 

There is a lot of work involved for our admin just to get a Group buy completed.

 

men I wish to get that https://p-v.club/threads/gb-request-and-paulina-duszman-live-masterclass.28357/ , but people seems not to be interested

 

I'm sure it is. Maybe that's one of the issues as well. Certainly appreciate what they do to get them done.

 

Same.
Love her work.
Other videos here from her are great and would be great to have this as well.

 

Just saw this and responded to appropriate thread.

 

Absolutely and completely agree with this statement as an option to the present situation and limitations of options for buying a monthly subscription. However, new members will obviously be reticent to the initial process because it's just that - new and unfamiliar. If this was succinctly outlined as a viable option (a substitute to the usual partnering-host [or whatever it's called]) - I'm certain many new members would be willing to do this. A well-written "Instruction" page would be of benefit for all interested parties.

As a relatively new member here and participant in several GBs - I've consistently seen the same questions again and again regarding several steps along the process (i.e. How does this work? How do I pay? When is the expected time frame on turnaround from payment to anticipated availability? How many TPs? What's a TP? etc. etc.).

By providing an outline of what you present and emphasizing this as an [excellent] option - this additionally provides opportunity for those participants to be invested in the process and offer a sense of belonging. I feel this is more substantive relative to someone who purchases a 1 month sub and DLs a glut of data and leeches it all over a myriad of other sites for pennies (although I'm sure that would happen nonetheless; albeit, a much lower #).

 

100%
I haven't been here long and initially didn't join GB's as I didn't know what they were or how they worked.
So for a new member it would be hard to go in blindly. Once I knew what was happening with time on the site, the benefit of a GB is huge.

 

Thanks for pointing this out - was flying below my radar . . . I like her work!

 

This! Where I stand....
