I havent been around the forum long either, however I am currently running a group buy for radar detectors.

It's pretty straight forward;
-get in contact with the company you wish to purchase goods form, inquire as to possible savings if you organise a group buy from them(letting them know you are from PWRX is a good idea).
-If they say "yes, we can do you a deal", post it up under the groupbuy section for people to express interest.
-Then sort out how you want to collect payment from members, and distribute items once they arrive...

Being organised is crucial, especially if it's a large group buy, make sure to keep track of who has paid and contact details etc
Regularly communicate progress to group buy members as they are trusting you with their money.
Also finally, make sure you notify people there are risks, albeit minimal with online shopping, and that you are not responsible for anything going wrong with the group buy until the goods are in your possesion. People genreally understand that it is by their own discretion and risk if they want to be a part of a group buy, but it's good to notify them of that. If anything, just to cover your own ass, should issues arise.
