In the absence of any communication from fre1102, I inquired to the vendor about the next step now that we've got 15. Here's what he said:
Me:
Dear neondials,
Hello. I'm a member of "Cadillac Forums" where a "Group Buy" has been being worked on for the past few months. You've been in contact with a couple different people who've been trying to organize the buy, and now I'm another. The last guy who was organizing things seems to have gone MIA, and we're now at 14 confirmed people (15 including him, but nobody's heard from him for a bit).
I wondered about how this can all be completed the easiest in terms of placing the orders, payments, etc. Since nobody's who's organizing this is looking to make any money on the deal, can people place the order directly to you and just mention the group buy for the discount? Or perhaps you could send Paypal invoices to each of them, stating the discounted price and so on.
I know the last guy was compiling a list of email addresses and other specifics from people interested in the buy, but I'm not sure of what you guys had arranged in terms of actually placing the orders.
Thanks!

Dear 1fastcaddyv,
Hello,
Thank you for your contact in regards to organize a group buy for the foglights. We did recall talking to a member from the forum back in JAN 2013 and below are all of the info we exchanged with him. Thank you.:
Dear fastone27,
If you are looking to get only the CTS-V foglights without the side marker lights, we can do $225.00 shipped within US 48 Continental States, and that's about 20% discount per set.
Of course I hope not to hear back from other members for this incentive for the previous purchases they already made weeks or months ago.
If you are the organizer of initiating to form a group buy, I suppose you are able to make some profit out of this too, but the best discount we can give is 20% if you are able to gather 15 members. Thank you.

Dear fastone27,
Hello again,
Thank you for your reply. That's fine and your discount code for this group buy will be AAC9T5S7-V.
However, the 20% discount is ONLY offered when the requirement is met, as we do not offer this top discount to individual customer.
Therefore, the numbers of the transactions must meet the requirement we previously disclosed to you before the 20% discount kicks in. Thank you for your understanding.

Dear neondials,
Thanks for the info. It's unclear to me exactly how you'd like the orders to be placed though. Care to explain?

Thank you for your response. The purpose of my previous message sent to you is to let you know the deal I have given to another member from the forum and see if this is the term you accept.
The payment methods we currently accept are Bank Wire Transfer, Money Order or Paypal (must register in United States with confirmed credit card billing address and verified account).
The price offering is merely for US Domestic 48 Continental States only, this excludes the International buyers from other countries, as well as the US territories such as VI and PR.
The GB (Group Buy) members can submit the payment to us via paypal with the given code specified in the payment note. Please advise if you guys would like the price quote for just the foglights or with the side marker lights. Thank you.
