This is still true. But I would like to remind folks that there is only 
ONE reason to group buy, and that is simple to shave some dollars off 
shipping. That value is lost in the logistics of organizing a group buy.

If you don't mind waiting to get yours then I will consult with 
individuals who are interested. Otherwise I would suggest going your own 
way or organizing your own group buys among your local peers.

This started because I plan to buy a minimum of 4 and so does my boss, 
along with a handful of people I see on a semi-regular and predicable basis.
