(in other words one company may be willing to give a better discount if they are the sole recommended supplier for the members for a particular product) QUOTE]
you wernt a member of the original conception of this forum under a differnt name so you can probably be forgiven for that suggestion. A forum sponsored by 1 supplier is not good at all the older members of the forum will know to what im referring. The beauty of this forum is there are no preffered suppliers the members give their opnions based on service given as such the reputation of DSF is that when you search on a particular subject and want info you will get that info from those who have had the experiance from whatever supplier. If the service was bad you soon hear about it likewise if the service is good it gets talked about if you limit to one supplier theres nothing to compare with

I didn't say a single supplier, or if that's how it sounded that's not what I meant.
I meant if there was say one vinyl supplier, one shirt supplier, one mug supplier and each one was a different company. That way it's not a single supplier but a preferred larger discount for each item as the collective weight to a single supplier carries a bugger discout than 3 competing suppliers for one item.

to a single supplier carries a bugger .

LMAO classic typo

Sorry if i didnt quite understand what you were saying re single supplier, i kind of see your point though i cant see it working what you will be doing is starting a bidding war between suppliers for advertising space most supplier on here supply everything in your list ie BMS sell vinyl and mugs and shirts etc as do magic touch so how do you decide who's mugs get advertised and discounted. I for instance dont use Orca (magictouch) coated mugs but i do use the RN (bms)coated mugs if magic touch had the sole mug advertising on the forum i would then be missing out on the discounts unless i were to change what mugs i use. As you can probably tell from a lot of posts on here when you find an item you are comfortable why would you change just for the discounts, you might just as well go on ebay and see who the cheapest is there.I dont think its a workable system but then im often wrong
