Cost Sharing ??

Do any of you, from time to time, run into a great deal that you can't or don't want to purchase on your own? For example, a dozen tubes for a great price but you only need four. Or a spool of wire that you only need part of. Or a system deal that would leave you with a preamp you don't need.

You could buy the whole thing and then try to sell the stuff you don't need. Or, you could seek partners in the purchase who share the costs so everyone wins (ideally, a pure cost share with no profit). If you seek partners, you need to do so quickly before the deal disappears.

I would like to ask Audiogon to consider opening a new "cost sharing" section. This would be different from other parts of the site in that the offers are contingent on finding enough partners to make each deal work. Does this make sense? Is this too rare an occurance to bother with? Thanks in advance for your comments.
