Default Idea for group buys

May not actually be possible but some way of keeping a running total of buyers and the MOQ may be a good idea if the forum does more and more group buys.

I guess it could be a tool for sellers that displays the running total of interest. It would be nice to have a format like XXX/XXXXX or something like that added while browsing through thread totals.

Of course this could just be typed in with text but I think if there is a designated part of the post (eg just under the title of the post) then it could be useful and easier then adding up posts or waiting for the group leader to fill us in. Of course this would be more viable in the future if more and more group buys are set up (which I hope there will be).

Just an idea.

i think james will be the best person to answer this..or even anthony since he knows quite a bit about running forums.
as for my idea (if ur idea cannot be implemented):
we could ask every person to list a running total
example: someone posts something for sale for a group buy
1) first interested buyer states how many they want
2) second buyer states how many he/she wants and at the end of their post, adds their purchase quantity to the previous..
3) 3rd buyer states how many units they want, and add their number to the previous total

of course...everybody will have to do that to make that idea work..
just my 2 cents
