I made an offer to a guy for a job in the late nineties and he said that he was going to work on his startup instead. It was called "Grouper" and it let you find other people to negotiate group discounts with. He actually had some working code he showed me. Might have been a better idea to get him to hire me, but I see no evidence that this went anywhere (by him, anyway)

This was tried in Sweden/Europe with a company called Letsbuyit. It all failed miserably. The most epic fail of all was running a campaign to group-buy christmas trees and failing to deliver them before christmas. A story that's in many ways is just sooo 1999. Here's an article from 2001, after the crash: http://tinyurl.com/6zr3pq8 http://tinyurl.com/6zr3pq8
