Where can we save via buying together?

Hi everyone.

I am new with online shopping and in need of advice. Is there an opportunity to save by uniting orders together and getting volume discount from a shop? Where are such resources?

Thanks for choosing RR, JS. The only discounting I know of is when you order the CPU, system board and memory together. If you are ordering a number of similar parts, you will have speak to a department head and ax for a discount. GL, and report back to us.

I've seen people doing that over at Anandtech, when I hung out there for a while. But even there, it was only on *real* popular stuff.

Most people aren't interested because once you get the money together, nobody wants to wait for enough people to sign up for a particular part to place the wholesale order. And it's super frustrating if you get almost there and one or two people drop off the list.

"Volume Discounts" usually don't kick in unless you purchase items by the dozen or hundreds...
