GBC is dead because first off.. they cut throat each other. Second.. a true group buy is when you get multiple people to purchase items and the more that join the buy.. the cheaper it gets. GBC now is nothing more then shops using it as a plain advertisment space. DC headers for 25% off list?? Who the heck CANT get a DC header for 25% off list price now a days!!! VAFC for 300 plus shipping?? Yeah its better then the "over $400 retail" but who actaully sells it for retail? To top it off.. I can get it from Leo for 300 shipped rather then some shop no one has ever heard of.
These shops have raped what GBC was all about..

http://www.groupbuycenter.com/

worked this morning. but like everyone has said, it's not as big a novelty as it was in the past...which is too bad because there were quite a few good buys in the past.
