I had a thought that if you have a fixed cost way of transferring money overseas you could pool with other people to make the individual cost lower.
For instance at check2btc (one of my sites -full disclosure) https://sites.google.com/site/check2btc/move-money -
The fixed costs are conversion fees and sending the bank checks. Instead of one person paying $20 you could have 10 people who pay $2.
This would need something like a groupon where if you get enough people to sign up for a deal they get a massive discount.
Would group buying like this be a valuable service for bitcoins?
Example-wire transfers. If 20 people send 1 wire transfer to mt gox they would each only have to pay a $5 receiving fee there.
Groupbtc ftw.
If we have an agent in each country who collects money at their bank and does 1 wire transfer when there are enough deposits it would be a unique service. If the agent gets shut down another would pop up. The agents would probably need to pay some form of bond or have a high wot rating.

Most people who are buying large amounts of bitcoins aren't going to care about the small transfer fees between exchanges. I wouldn't trust it either, personally, and I'm a total cheapskate.

Group buying of bitcoins can be a collaborative way to invest in cryptocurrency. However, it's important to note that UNBANK primarily supports individual buying and selling of bitcoins, ensuring a secure and seamless experience for individual users. Group buying arrangements often involve pooling funds with others to make a larger purchase, which can add complexities and potential risks. If you're considering such an arrangement, it's crucial to establish clear terms and trust among all participants.
