Since this became a rant/ramble.. I will finalize with saying this: My prices may be a bit higher than before (or other GBs) because I can assure that I will be taking care of everyone more than the next person.
Oh boy, I didn't want to provoke such a bad mood, I've just noticed a change and suspected something like this. Don't worry waldo, I've spent weeks before committing to your other group buy and it was THE best offer on this forum, hands down. Some reasons are the exact one you are talking about, I've liked very much the fact spreadsheet for payout is already prepared, it shows many things about way you are doing these group buys. Don't think for a moment these things and prompt responses go unnoticed, there is a reason you've completed so many groups.
On the other hand, you have to understand that everybody considers that your "real world" troubles like hosting setup will be covered through hosting fee. I'm perfectly aware that's not enough and you want piece of every machine you've organized, and everything below certain percentage (don't want to bargain here so I wont mention any numbers) is very acceptable, but when the margin is so high like in this case myself (and probably some other people) are afraid we can make a mistake and fail to get much better deal someone else may or may not offer in near future. The whole point is for you to put that price difference margin at the point where one would not care about price difference and go for the other extras you were talking about.
Regarding the photos: Yes, I would like to see them but I would like much more to know in which city machines would be located. Some of my friends asked me where this mythical machine I was shareholder of is located, and I didn't know the answer and felt rather stupid about it
Hope I've explained why I've asked such a question and that I'll be a part of these next group buys. Keep up the great work.
