How to do a group buy from China?
Equipment is for small scale manufacturing of electronic boards (PCBs).
I have about 5 people interested already. We want to buy equipment costing about $20K. Number of people and amounts are rising as more people learn about this.
We want to have them sent by sea, probably place the order when enough for the smallest shipping container.
Going the Alibaba route is one way. How to arrange payments? I don't want to collect payments from buyers and send to seller. Maybe arrange thru a lawyer or what are the other means?

Items are packed at the factory in crates, surrounded by foam packaging.
When negotiating with the seller what discount can we expect? Any tips on negotiating with a Chinese supplier?
One way is to buy from a single factory, but that is also limiting as certain products are only available from different factories. Perhaps there are agents who gather the items and pack them into a container?
