Well that still leaves me in the center, and as a potential weak link in the chain.
The U2U's could get massive, and lets say I took a week off for Vaca...
A common page is the way to go. Everyone having equal access, and a simple user name / order amount is all we need.

Now we have to see if Admin can set up a no time limit for editing that page.
Reality is we only need ONE page for an order spread sheet. Not a 700 page thread...
Who is in charge of the site settings?

Polverone can make any changes if he wants/knows how to. I'd contact him. He usually doesn't respond within several days in my
experience but I think he logs in everyday.

I am following this thread closely.
Will wait to see if the logistics can be worked out.
Super COOL idea.

Just waiting on Admin...
I have to say I am impressed w/ the number, and quality of members here that like this idea. I have gotten Lots of U2U messages, and everyone of them
is positive.
I have NO ISSUES doing this to help out. All we really need is ONE common page for an "order sheet".
There have been a TON of ideas on how/ who / when / where / what to do.
If Admin can help us out w/ a common page or suggest a way to do this, I will leave it up to all of you to set the "rules" as it were.
It's your site, and you know best what will work here.
Thanks to all of you for reaching out. I'd like to see this work for all of us.

I have a few of Dr. Bob's white caps from an order last year. I've been using them for HCl, HNO3, acetone, and ammonia, and they've kept
these notoriously volatile/aggressive substances in their places. I don't have anything more mean to test them with though.

I've never used or heard of Google Docs... I'll look it up!
Thanks!
Edit:
Ok, I just watched a Youtube vid on G. Docs.
It looks like it will work for us.
I could create the page, and everyone that wishes to be included in that order can U2U me, and I will add your Email to the share list.
That way you have access to add your forum user name, and the quantity of that item. When the order amount is full I u2u everyone to be SURE you are
ready, and still need the item.
I place the order, and post the conformation on docs.
Remember there will be a shipping fee (in most cases) from the vendor that we all split.
Then there is the shipping fee, and insurance fee when I ship it to you. No one wants broken or lost items no matter how low the price so I think Insc
should be mandatory.
Now this is just MY opinion but I would like all of you to determine who gets to participate, and at what point.
I don't want to be a dick because the most honest person here might only have 5 posts. Vice versa I had 100 posts in two days, and I could be the anti
Christ.
I'm the only one that stands to get burnt because a a good faith gesture I am not asking for pre payments. You all don't know me.
My first thought is... Does this site have a "Donate" button that I missed or a charity or institute it supports?
I am thinking that everyone that wants to participate in these bulk buys can do so by donating a small fee, maybe 10-20 bucks (one time) to Science
madness or some institute they support.
It's just a thought... I need input from everyone, Especially Admin. I still have no reply to my questions on the whole idea...
Why don't you all throw some ideas...
One last thing... MY only rule is if someone stiffs, I pull the plug. No offense meant.
Accidents happen, People hit hard times, understood.
If someone does hit a rough patch I can live with that. Allowances will be made. Ought-right stiffs? Suck, and will be called out.
If this sounds close to do able w/ everyone... I'm down.
Throw out your thoughts, and lets see if this can work.

Loptr gave me an idea...
There are a few fellas here selling equipment. MOST of those threads get lost in cyberspace, and I for one have a hell of a time with the search
results.
I know NOTHING about G. Docs, and I am not sure but I believe anyone here can create a new 4 sale sheet.
The Document page can be used as an "Index", and every member here wishing to sell or trade something can post their own sheet. Of course the owner of
that sheet IS the owner, and sets his or her own permissions.
Any thoughts on the whole concept are welcome. Others here know much more about G.Docs than I do.
Feel free to suggest ways to make the idea work for everyone. This is the only reason I offered the idea.

I would like to put some things up when I get the time, considering I have now acquired several hundred pieces of glassware, odds and ends mostly,
such as 19/22 & 24/40 three-way distillation adapters, gas outlet adapters, vacuum adapters, elbow adapters, U-shape and related adapters,
glass/teflon/plastic stoppers, fritted glass dispersion tubes combined with adsorption tubes 24/40, quite a few Synthware two-neck 500 mL RBFs,
safety-coated amber boston rounds (Fisherbrand), Kimble Opticlear 18.5 and 30 mL screw cap vials with caps, VWR 16mm test tube racks (plastic), Kimble
16x125mm screw cap vials, Wheaton Reagent Bottles 30ml with ground glass stoppers, corning spatulas, Fisher neutral and red litmus papers, Kimble
volumetric flasks, etc., etc., and quite a few other things.
I just don't have the time to go through and list everything!

Nice, Loptr, I'd love to check some of that stuff out. I have most of the glassware that I need, but I've really been wanting a fritted gas dispersion
tube and some other odds and ends.

Let me know If I have to do anything ie: Permissions wise to help set this up.
Any G. Doc's power users on the forum?
Loptr... I'm gonna end up buying some of your gear. Distillation, and vacuum bits are on my radar.
Also if no one has seen the "Sheet"... If you scroll down the page there is room to add supplies to Bulk Buys...
If you want to add something just leave room for the prior item to fill up.
As items are ordered I will delete the ordered item. That way we can recycle the sheet.
Please try to keep the "wish list items under 200.00 USD. I ask nothing in advance, and I think 200.00 is reasonable.
thanks
