lol... u wont stop :ohyeah:
 
I had a quick look at the thread , looks like supra has posted genuine clarifications so I guess the posts so far stay. its great that you are giving te members such good deals but please dont get upset when people ask questions. will check back in the morning and clean up if needed.

also dingemni do not keep misusing the report post button and sending in multiple reports since thats also grounds for an infraction.

i think i shud rather STOP this GO..
and start askin clarifications abt their source when someone cr8s a new one !

tat shall help....

shakensoul, raghu, predatorvj or anyone else who cr8s a GO... NEXT TIME plz list out your sources as well before cr8in new GO`s :(...
 
or let us do one thing......................

LETS MAKE IT compulsory for everyone to listout the contact info of their source on behalf of whom they are makin a GO


let us see how many ppl come forward !
 
^ why take it defensively? If its a genuine Group Order you are managing here, the suggestions/clarifications sought should not bother you. Instead of taking offense to it, why not clear/clarify the matter OR just ignore them?

When you are taking so much pain in organizing a GO, please do not let these trivial matters upset you. :)

Edit:
If anything, the suggestions posted are to help ease your burden. You said yourself you are managing this GO even during your exams. If you ask me, you are wasting your time, if you are really doing this during your exams. GOs can wait. Getting lower marks/losing a paper is not worth a GO in helping community members. just my 2 cents.
 
^ Again, clarifying or ignoring is totally upto you, though it (your clarifying or ignoring) reflects on the character of the GO, i guess. :cool2:
 
[OT]

This is not a clarification, this is only my POV, so please don't take it otherwise.

I would not divulge the source/contact, not because there is something fishy about the deal, but because the contact I have is comfortable dealing with me only, the deal is only betwen me and the contact. If suppose I give out the details, there will be flurry of calls/emails to the contact inquiring about the deal and haggle for more discount, and since everyone knows that the calls get recorded, and his job would be at stake, which is something serious and we would not like to risk someone else's job and ruin the whole deal.

Peace :)
 
Peace from my side....I had my questions !!! Gt my answers or rather no answers.

Go forward with ur GO sir....ppl will come forward & make it a gr8 success again as ur last 4 GOs....questions will be raised....u have to go past them. Looking forward t ur silver jubilee Dell GO :D

Guys I dont know if a GO should be non-profitable, but IMHO if the person organizing the GO is making a cut out of the deal and doesnt want to disclose the source so be it. All the members are concerned with if the deal is sweeter than the retail.

Its the Dell rep's job to give out quotes and attend to as many calls as one could. If anything, he'll be rewarded for generating/addressing more enquiries/orders. So, there is no question of anyone's job at stake. :)

Again my 2 cents worth :)
 
buddy.... supra ! i dont mind givin the details of the contact..
but there are certain parameters to be followed if i need good prices from him.
hence i do....

ppl seek good price and good warranty with bill n al..
i am providing all the above to them and they like it.

if someone finds it bad , he doesnt buy... if someone doesnt care gets one !!

as u can see in past few weeks... prices of DELL lcd`s have again rose higher.. if ppl wud had taken advantage of my earlier go`s they wud had got the same LCD`s for very lower price than today..

hence once again i said... ppl who need wud buy .. wont dont they wont !

PS: margin sharin had been told to all previous buyers of my GO...
they knew abt it... and they also had equally thinking mind like urs...

but still they purchased .......... thats y i say.. leave this to the members.

atleast i am not foolin them by not givin bill or fake products !

this is wat i can say to u at the MOST....
or
u tell me .... DO U WANT ME TO CLOSE THE GO ?
 
Afaik, dell had startd some kind of reseller plan that gives better rates to people who buy in large quantities..

IMHO you should allow people to pay dell directly. I mean why would that be a problem ? They can give you a cheque in the name of Dell India .. you could fill the order number and hand over the cheque to dell.
Could you explain this?

P.s I not saying that anyone here is a reseller or anyting.. My comments and opinions are striclty of my on and dont reflect on anyones post.
 
somehow i had missed this part in your first post:

dingemini said:
PS:
the bill will be of a bit lower amount.
the person who gives me these prices is not a saint or god,
he takes his margins. (500-1000)
hence plz try to understand.
its a win-win situation for both the contact and you all !

So, you are not making a direct payment to Dell then? You are paying the Dell rep who in turn is making payment to Dell? If that is the case, then I understand why you are being protective about the Dell rep's identity. Anyone tipping off Dell and that guy is in BIG trouble!
 
tats wat...
i dont want him to get into trouble.. supra again to solve his queries wud initiate something and it wud cause problem to ppl i know...
 
@din

The issue here I guess is not about sharing contacts or higher prices. The only concern here is that you clearly mention that the invoice is going to be for an amount lower than what was paid. I am not sure if that is the way Dell representatives operate and we dont really entertain such deals that have a bit of grey in it here on TE. Its your perogative to sell at whatever price you wish but do try and ensure that an invoice is provided for the same amount.

Also I dont think threats to close the Group Order will endear yourself to existing members who have already commited themselves to it. You've done a good job till now but its better to make sure that all aspects are covered.
 
Arre Dinesh I never told u its wrong or something....but there have been a discussion gng on in Feeback regarding the actual meaning of a GO :)

You can always create in Market section/Dealer's paradise.Anyway i just had my queries and I am not anyone to decide on hw it should on and all. The mods can clarify abt it :)....I am after all just a probable buyer and want the best transparent deal ...and ya all the shadiness have been abt Dell GOs only...no idea why.......check hw some members year fight out and get some awesome deals...and they are as transparent as they can be ...with various pick up options/fixed GO closing dates/fixed nos etc....anyway dnt make me type more here :rofl:...have office lol tmr

A bad waste of 1 & half hours lol :)....again sry for any of my comments if that has hurt u ...
