Buying Clubs?

Good Morning Everyone: Does anyone have any ideas about how to start
a buying association or group? This is something have thinking
about for some time. Need some input about the possible ways to
make this a reality? The owners of the studio I now own, belong to
the" AGS" and they have a program but it seems a bit snooty for my
taste. I am thinking about more so a combination buying group and
work “product” exchange. I would think the biggest problem would be
matching the quality of product desired and ability to pay if it
becomes to one sided. Anyway anyone have some input? Todd Michael
