I'm fairly new here and I do think these are awesome items, but can you tell me the rationale behind the group buys vs. just buying them individually off of the website? Do they disappear so quickly on the live site that this is a better guarantee that you can actually get them? Is it better for international shipping? Or more economically efficient?
Read the OP...it says
For the group buy, if we can get at least 20 blocks in the group buy, the price will be reduced to .0046 BTC So yeah there is a slight discount and also for many of us here, we use MinerJones as a destination for out items so he can have them graded or bundled with other items and shipped to us.
Another reason . . . .
Funded Ballet products are not for sale to everyone in the US and International. Some states prohibit the purchase of funded items, so this is a great way for some to get these loaded items when they can't purchase them on their own.
