I have a beautiful idea

Ok here it is

I think this is a good idea, and its shared so give it wings

I will try to keep it brief

A PRICE COLLECTIVE or a CONSUMER CLUB/UNION
the idea being that lets say 50,000 individuals combined together to request a 20% discount from a particular retail outlet, say a supermarket. If they failed to agree to this discount then a vote could be taken amongst the members on whether to boycott the stores in question. The more members the greater the power. in fact with maybe a million members a club like this has serious clout.

Now this may be considered in some way blackmail. Im not sure of the implications here. But lets just say we could do it........the implications for the consumer are far reaching. Many companies would happily sign up in the hope of instant turnover.

Price war????

I wonder if there are any budding economists willing to give their opinion on this.
