[Alberg30] Holding tank - group purchase?

[George Dinwiddie]

Chet,

To get a group buy discount, you have to go through a retailer.  The
manufacturer isn't going to undercut their retailers, or they soon 
would have no retailers left.  When Mike organized the previous group
purchase, he organized it through Fawcett's in Annapolis and got
a very good price.
