Origins...

omg rite said:
Wait, that seems kind of obvious. Have we really not done this before?

A GAF Amazon Prime thread where we all get in groups and use PayPal or whatever to give the main person $16

Granted, I wouldn't do the thread. Couldn't organize that well. heh

Having that said, here is our 1st ever Amazon Prime Gaf Thread!

The basic principle of this thread is that since an Amazon Prime Memeber ship (Prime) is split-able into 4 accounts, instead of one person paying the 80 dollars for their year membership, members can now 'Host' a Prime and other members can split the cost via paypal.

How it works?

Simple! Within the Prime registration, it allows you to add 4 households (5 including yourself) and you are able to register their account and they will gain the benefits! think of it like giving gifts via Steam!

****************update 11/9
When you send out your prime memberships, you will need to send your group the following info and in-turn they must send you the same back.

What is Prime?

Amazon Prime is a shipping service they offer which has 2 day shipping for free on any items sold BY AMAZON. There is no order requirement, objects can be 1 dollar to 600 dollars, and you can upgrade to overnight for 3.99$!

Why go Prime?

It is true that you can receive free shipping if your order exceeds 25 dollars, but (now this is a roll of the dice) sometimes your items will not leave there warehouse for a week, sometimes they will leave the next day, it depends. On top of that there is the shipping time, which is 5-9 days. In my experience the turn around is generally 2-3 weeks, but it depends. This is a surefire way to receive your items when you want them and if you cannot wait, there is the 1 day shipping.

How it works with Gaf members

1st off, NeoGaf nor I have NO LIABILITY for this. This is thread is meant for other Gaffers to meet newer people to come together and get their Prime accounts. Depending on how you guys feel it would work best, either I can choose to delegate members to Hosts.

OR if this is better, people who want to be HOSTS will post that they want to be one and other members will PM them to be on their team. The people who are the hosts will then post their groups or post if they are looking for more members.

It should look something like this.

Demimatt: Host
Members: TheCrow, ziegen
Looking for 1 more!

The members will then paypal the 16 dollars to the host since an account is 80 dollars, and that Host will delegate the memberships accordingly. Hosts will also need to distribute their birthdays and full names to their members and conversely members will need to send their full names, birthdays, and emails to the hosts. THIS IS CRUCIAL!

Thats what I did actually. Me and two other GAFfers went in together. Worked out great. I'd advise against going with junior members though lol.

Hosts who choose to use Juniors in their groups please do so at your disgression. Please keep in mind neither Neogaf Mods nor I will hold any responsibility to members NOT paying so please, do not purchase the Prime account until you have received all funds.

If the Neogaf Community wants me to delegate members to Hosts please let me know. Otherwise Hosts will create their own groups in this thread.

Always open to suggestions on how to make this work, I just threw this idea together.

Currently for me

Demimatt: Host
Members: TheCrow, ziegen, madara, DCX

Group Assembled!

This seems like a really good idea.

I'm in Canada, otherwise I'd be all over this.

So much time spent on the OP, so little thought about the title.
 
isn't four accounts between the same household tho? Pretty sure it says that on the sign-up page. And prime's good, but it pretty works out the same price as the trade shops which i used to buy from anyway. better for buying in bulk

It's against their TOS.
Do this in private.

What he said.

Amazon Prime is great though, I often receive my stuff in 1 business day even though it's suppose to be 2 day free shipping

I already have a Prime account, but I would be too afraid of identity theft to take part in this.

Why would you be afraid of identity theft? You don't have access to anyone else's account.

On a different note, you can have a total of five people on one account, not four.

The other sites I've seen doing this are charging $16 each since it is the main account plus 4 invitees.

After reading that, conditions changed as of June this year, b4 hand you were able to split amongst other households as other people I know have. Either way, that sucks... close thread then since we cant spit them?

The rules always said that it could be split between one household. The sharing was just ignoring those rules, as Amazon themselves seem to do.

Like others have said, it's tragic that a title mistake may crush this awesome idea. Never change, GAF. :lol

I used to have prime and ordered shit nonstop off of Amazon, by the way. Since it expired, I order relatively little.


I'm conflicted as to whether I actually want to do this or not, because my bank account would much prefer I don't.

alright~ need 2 more to complete for 16 a person!

I am interested if you have the slot open. I know I'll end up needing to next day something for the holidays.
 
I would like to get into a group. Had a successful Left 4 Dead 2 group buy and have bought from some members in the buy/sell/trade thread. I'll be gone until about 5PM EST but just let me know if anyone is looking for a member. :D

I have a free trial until January, but I'm totally up for this. Prime is amazing.

PM me if anyone wants to put a group together.

I was planning to get a Prime account myself but if anyone wants to share I'd be open to that, possibly.
