Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I think you contact someone who sell it and ask them how many you have to buy to get a discount then put out a "Anyone want to do a PSE group buy" thread
I would be in but I suspect $1000 would be too low to expect
I think it tends to be cheaper if you can get them to send them to one location too.

I got my PSE from Brandywine and find them extremely helpful....... But at the same time make sure you clear the Group Buy with the admins of the board first
Dont start the group buy before then, like I did with the PSS9 GB
I did this a few months ago. Spoke to the folks at Brandywine and Sunset. Sunset gave me the better pricing. At the time they quoted me $1,500, plus shipping (about $75). I don't think that you are going to get it much lower than this. Remember, this PSE "retails" for about $2,400.
You have pretty much asnwered your own question originally......."why no group buys since it is so popular?"
Well.......becasue IT IS so popular is the answer. The PSE flys off the shelf at a larger pace than most mods.
Suncoast, etc., know this and continue to sell at "group buy" prices. (roughly $1500 plus 25-75 for shipping). WIll not find lower than that unless you buy used on eBay.
There was also a thread on this a couple months back and suncost was honoring this price for rennlisters (not sure the end date though).
