Any way we can lock this thread until Baja gets some new info, then have it unlocked when he's ready to post? It's obvious that there's no problem getting hundreds, if not thousands, of CGers to get onboard with this. All we're getting now is tons of people saying they're in at this juncture........

I'm interested if the prices are reasonable. I am interested in .40, .308, 5.56, 22LR, 7.62x39, and 9mm please keep us updated on what the prices look like once you know more.

But allow me to play devil's advocate here. I ask these questions rhetorically, but feel free to answer them if you're inclined to do so: 1) What value would this co-op bring to a manufacturer? It's not as if there isn't enough demand to consume what the manufacturers are currently producing (which is why so many of us are chasing the reasonably priced stuff when it hits store shelves and online sites). When you look at the financials of a company like Alliant Techsystems (NYSE:ATK, owners of brands such as Federal, CCI, Speer & Blazer), would a $3M/quarter (1,000 co-op members X 10,000 round quarterly commitments X 30 cents per round = $3M) commitment from the co-op make much of a difference when ATK does $1B in revenue per quarter? At the 10M round per quarter level, we'd be giving ATK a bounce in their overall quarterly revenues of approximately 3/10 of 1% (0.3%). In the business world, that kind of revenue bump is derisively called "mice nuts". 2) From the perspective of the major distributors, major retailers like Walmarts/Cabelas/Bass Pro Shops/Turners on down to the LGSs, how does allowing a co-op to essentially be their equal from the get-go AND cherrypick the popular calibers engender any loyalty whatsoever going forward with the manufacturer(s) that do business with the co-op? Any manufacturer that produces a product that is highly desired and highly allocated has to be diligent about maintaining goodwill and pipeline with their long-standing top accounts. It's not as if Walmart is too dumb or too cash poor to increase their orders of .223/5.56, .22lr, 9mm, .45, etc. with the manufacturers at a magnitude that would far outstrip any orders a co-op could produce. If ATK could ramp production up and produce an additional $25M/quarter of the popular calibers, would Walmart/Cabelas/Bass/Turners/etc. say "no thanks, we couldn't use a few thousand more cases of the product that are automatic sellthroughs in a matter of hours, if not minutes"? The reason why there's a supply chain in place, and that many large manufacturers do little to no direct sales to consumers, is to reward the entities that buy the entire product portfolio in quantity through the boom times as well as the less robust times. Again, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade by pooh-poohing this concept. But I've been involved with companies that had products that were scarce/highly desired, and seen how they treated "johnny come latelys" who wanted to only buy the most desirable products in quantity. The outcome wasn't positive for the johnnys, and the historical accounts were given the rewards of having stood by the manufacturer from the get-go. |

This would be great for a company starting out that is looking to capture a captive market.

Absolutely this would be of interest to a "new kid on the block", or someone who is a bit player that's looking to make a move to capture more market share and increase revenue. As long as co-op members are OK with a non-"name brand" and/or someone who doesn't yet have a long track record of consistency/reliability of their products.
