Ok, I just did a little bit of math, and if I put up $500 towards the kit, that would mean each person would only have to chip in about $233.33. I know that is a bit of money, but considering the original discount is about $850 off the normal price your still saving about $615. I'm guessing this guy isn't going to be doing this that much longer so I'm just trying to help out, even though it sounds a bit greedy. I would for sure be going in on this if I had all the money, but even $500 is more than I should spend, but this would still be an awsome deal this way.
