Here are a couple of questions and comments regarding several options - at least, the way that I think about this:

1) Are you looking for a middle-man, someone to purchase a certain quantity of a given product and stock them from which others can order?

2) Do you prefer to have a person aggregate, combine or put together a batch of orders on a quarterly basis, as an example.

3) Not necessarily interested in an expanded discussion about other Apple II vendors.  Suffice it to say that the response time varies across the spectrum, which is not surprising given that many of the participants do it for love not money.  I would appreciate hearing your expectations on this point.  Are you expecting a person to have a web presence over here a la Reactive Micro?

4) How many different items are there?  If it's just the Micro Drives and cache cards (fully populated and kits in various stages of completion) then there are only a handful of products to stock and order.  That might make it simpler for someone to keep some things on hand.  What else is there?

5) If the structural things (timing, ordering, stock, etc.) make sense then it would be useful to have a conversation about pricing.

6) In my view, for what it's worth, there is still a reasonable interest and market demand for the hardware I mentioned in the first message.  It would be helpful to hear from some others in the forum.

I am willing to help in any way that I can.
