For the benefit of those forumers who didn't join Jagdish's Fb group:
I will have to withdraw from my earlier proposal above. Reason: I have come to realise that the free for all facebook page that Jagdish has in mind has posed a peril even when deals can be arranged through a close forum, when anyone can post privy matters in the fb page. Traders who give us good discounts don't need people to scream their prices all over, or fellow competitors will go after them. And then the latter will accuse all the buyers for they don't know who spread it and hammer all of them! Earlier in the group, I have thought only about the possibility of an accidental disclosure from the benefactors, and now let me bring you another scenario: If you think buyers will certainly not leak any info to protect themselves, yes if all are careful. Now push your thinking further: What about those in the forum who can't afford the deals? Are you not aware of jealousy?
And this, is made possible by one Jagdish who has set up an open Facebook page on BSC and insisted that it must be open despite knowing the perils. Anyone can post anything, according to him who had control over the format. I must say: A rascal may destroy a community's gains!
Some may join the close forum he offers to get into deals. For me, I need to stay away from Jagdish's forum as I value my life more than discounts. I won't need anything from a rascal.
As for his Fb page, the more people choose 'like' for the BSC page, you are increasing its newsfeed spread of things like this. Publicity here is only good for those who are selling their property. They fix up the homes with discount buys and leave the house vacant for sales, but those who join the deal and move in may suffer. You may be tricked to serve others' interest.
Grace - you're a real source of entertainment with your dinosaur thinking. Perhaps some hobbies in retirement will help besides screaming that people's safety will be jeapordized through group buys. Anyway, to each his own and thank you for your feedback.
