I see that the first thread you referenced is 10 yrs old. . "Monty", the IAP Group Buy Co-ordinator, even suggested a Group Buy from Dayacom at that time. . I wonder if that post by Monty was ever read by Mr. Lee.
A Group Buy would make the "impossible" possibly "possible" and I had thought of that before I read Monty's post
The MOQ ( Minimum Order Quantity ) for that kit is 500. . It would be very hard to get that size of order within the membership of IAP.
I have the feeling that Mr. Lee was not seriously extending any "buying opportunity" to IAP, although he seemed to kind of "hint" at that.
