This is the one real draw back. Better to get the MONEY up front and 
then order so no one is left "holding the bag" as it were. This is the 
type of thing (money owed to/from etc.) that can really sour a group and 
create friction amongst the members.

To avoid this very problem, we collected the money for the Nuts and 
Volts / SERVO orders in *advance*. It worked well. :)
