    Just wanted to see if there was an interest in a shotgun BIG for good locals/wants (88/4.00). Would probably be looking at a minimum of 80oz and about 6-8 people.

    Assuming that we can get the # of people quickly... ship mid-april? sound good?

    ok, so it seems there will be enough demand to do 10 people...

    First come first serve and anyone that has already posted is considered in.

    BM me : name, addr, realistic wants, gots, 3-4 desired styles
    As soon as the needed # is reached i'll send out destinations and ship date.

    remember: good locals/wants (88/4.00) and up with a MIN of 80 oz.

    I see you only joined the site two weeks ago, so I'm just going to toss some advice out there - get your feet wet in trading, participate in other BIFs, assist in running one, and then think about starting up your own. It's a lot more work than it seems (particularly for a NOOB BIF) as you have to do background checks, take care in assigning targets and not making a mistake, help out NOOBS with all of their various shipping issues, coordinate and track everyone, deal with late/non-shippers, etc, etc.

    I apologize if you're a longtime RB trader or something, but otherwise this thread makes me nervous.

    I have traded a few times on BA but I don't think a small (6-10 person) shotgun will be all that difficult. As far as matching goes, the people interested in this thus far have similar wants/interests and are varied in their origins.

    In short, I am fairly confident that this BIF will be fine.
