Newb Question...When do Coops start?

[Chrisbinparadise]

Yes, I am a newb on here, but therefore I am eager!    When should I expect coops to start up?  Can a newb like me help organize one?  Otherwise, I would be happy to buy into one.

Just anxiously waiting down here...

There is no set schedule. It varies with demand, availability, and product releases. You can view the past coop forum to get an idea of what's been done in the past.

RJ is the person that selects people to be Coop managers and these people do a lot of work for us for nothing but admiration. Before a Coop is run RJ discusses with the managers what coop's are going to run and then the manager has to contact the different companies and confirm the prices and availability for parts as this is what gets us the great prices. So before a coop is run there has already been a lot of leg work and time put into it.

I would say that we will probably see at least 2 coop's run withing the next couple of weeks, Now the question would be are they going to be what you need?

Only suggestion is be patient and be ready to jump as the first coop's will open and close quickly.

Hi Chris,

Its not really good to post in the coop forum since most members are setup to get emails when a new post is posted there.

That beginning said, expect the first coop soon (I don't know when but its coming)

Also I am going to move this post to the public board so members don't get upset excepting a coop when its only a question about a coop

Just saw an announcement for a Lynx Express coop.

[warspyder]

I checked a couple of times this morning... nothing. When I came back I was startled and a little worried when I saw that a coop had started and it was already two pages long.

31 in less than 49 minutes. I don't think this will make it until the 20th

If I were a newby I would be tempted to post in the coop forum. My question is about coops best place is in the coops. Maybe the forum could be locked as far as creating new threads.

Thanks all for your replies!  I learned a lot and then somebody started a Coop right after my post...sweet! 

njKeever:  I looked at the past forums.  That was useful!  I didn't see a coop for an Lynx Freestyle last year.  Does anyone think there will be one this year?

sjb:  Good info...thanks!

rrowan:  You mean I am not the only one who set up to get notifications for co-op postings!?!     No malice was intended and I didn't see the question answered in the FAQ.  Thanks for putting my post in the proper place!

rdebolt:  Thanks!

dpitts:  Don't think you need to overreact to one incident.  If it is a persistent problem, then it probably needs to be fixed.  If it is an isolated incident, correct the one incident and no need to change anything administrationally.  MHO

Thanks again all!

Sincerely,
Chris

So why did I get notified about this post but not the real coop?  Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to miss any more.

Thanks.

[chrisatpsu]

well, if you don't want to miss the current one, then make sure you put in what you want. so many people think that b/c it's going to (in theory) end on the 20th, that they have until then to decide on what they want. many times the Express coops close within hours during the beginning part of the year.

In the Coop window up in the right hand corner there will be a box that you can select to Notify you in that area. Then anytime there is a change in the coops you will be notified.
