Thank you for the feedback.    Let me explain a little more..

It is pretty clear why there has not been a group buy in some time, who wants to give their money to a black hole, and hope that a S9 comes in 1 - 3 months?

I also have operating businesses (retail stores).   I have a professional license issued through the State of Texas.  I am not looking to take anyones money.

I am based in Dallas, Texas, and what I want to know is there enough interest for people to place money into a trust / escrow  account, which not a single money is released until the full purchase price of 200 units is reached, and at that time, payment can only be made to Bitmain.

I would do it on a first come first serve basis.  No minimum.  

Would there be interest in such an buying pool.   It would have to be USA and Canada only.   If there is interest, I can share more information.  

I just spent 2 hours at 9 pm and 3 am clicking the refresh button on shop.bitmain.com and wasted a lot of time.  There has to be a better way!

I would be in personally for the first 20 units.  So 180 to go..
