Cool. It would be nice to have a feature which can facilitate the logistics of wholesale bulk purchases (example, products from Costco).

We love the idea of group buying as we get a lot of product inspiration from Pinduoduo. We’ve spent a lot of timing thinking how to leverage the fun of group buying without the traditional discount incentive. It’s hard to do! The solution we launched with is ‘buckets’ (and we made an HN group here: https://chums.link/rBQ6). Groups can discuss products to buy together and make decisions together.

We’re open to all thoughts and suggestions though, and would love to hear more about your idea and the value you think you could get from it.
