Well I know this sounds stupid and i doubt anyone would be down for it, but if each of the nine people chipped in about $300 which is much less than HALF of the discount on this kit, I would be able to afford a kit and be the 10th person. I mean right now, it's looking like your not going to make it at all. Just an idea, I could probably be about to put up a bit of it, I think i could maybe manage around $400-500, but I can't get $2600 in time. Just something to think about :).
