last updated 5 days ago
Check out all Buying Projects on SaveNowClub platform.
Buying a large-ticket product or service is like working on a project, you need to spend time research prices and negotiate deals with sellers. Buying Project is the project management tool developed by SaveNowClub for large-ticket product or service buyers to create a public page to manage price research activities and/or sell your completed deal information to people who are in need of it.
Here is an example buying project that does price research on a used SUV near Chicago area.
Our Buying Project supports these types of buying targets:
It's easy to create a Buying Project, simply fill out this form, describe your goal (price research or share/sell deal information) in Description field. After the project is created and public, share the project link with your friends or on public forums so you will get help needed or people can find price records they need.
Buying Projects are like questions asked by buyers that solicit answers from other people who may have answers, in many cases, these questions lack certain information for other people to better understand the needs in order to better answer it, when this happens, comment feature can be used to ask clarifying questions to project owners or answering these questions. Once a comment is submitted, email notices will be sent to project owner and comment creator.
See screen shot below for an example of comment section of an existing Buying Project.
Buying Group is a type of Buying Project that allows buyers to join as members and collectively pursue a deal for a common product.
To create a Buying Group, simply check Make this a Buying Group
checkbox when you create a Buying Project
Creating your buying project as a buying group on SaveNowClub platform brings you a number of benefits. If you are organizing or about to join a Buying Group, consider the following advantage of SaveNowClub’s Buying Group vs. Google Form vs. WeChat Groups vs. Facebook Groups
Member Benefits: while group discount a buy group may get from dealer is relatively small (may be a few hundred dollars per vehicle), joining a buy group brings the benefit of enjoying collective efforts on negotiating towards same model of vehicle which covers a wider range of dealerships in a wider range of geographical areas.
This feature enables every member of a buying group to collaborate on negotiating deals with dealers using emails, see a demo here. The proxy mailbox used by group negotiation are provided by SaveNowClub and are dedicated for the purpose of deal negotiation, can be turned on or off at any time.

After a buying project is created, one or multiple price/deal data points may be added to it, these price/deal data points are called Price Records, these are what people look for when they research prices on their buying targets.
SaveNowClub supports two types of price records: price offer and price paid.
These are currently active price quotes offered from sellers, for example, this offer on 2020 Ford Expedition MAX XLT, it was posted on 2/1/2021, and it will stay valid until the listed product is sold or the price gets changed by seller.
Here is another example price offer of a price offer for a used SUV near Chicago area.
These are past price paid records contributed by other buyers. This is an example price paid for 2020 Toyota Highlander. Since these records reflect transaction already happened, they generally do not expire.
Each price record is made up of 3 parts: public information, private information and dedicated mailbox
As you create a Price Record, you may choose to add a Dedicated Mailbox to it, the mailbox comes with these handy benefits

) dedicated to this price record, your personal email sits behind this email address so your privacy is protected.You may collaborate on email negotiation with dealer to nail down the deal by checking collboratively negotiate
box.
For a demo of this feature, see collaborative communication to seller and peer-to-peer communication in demo sections below.

Below you can find a simple tutorial of how to use Email Buyer Agent for your car buying.
If you don't have an account yet, click create an account using a personal email address (in this tutorial I use buytition.car@gmail.com
) and use it to sign in to SaveNowClub. If you have not verified your personal email yet, then click Reset Password
button to verify it.
Open Start Project page to create a buying project for free and use it as a car buying worksheet to track all target vehicles and negotiations around them.
After you submit the above simple form, the project is created like this or can be viewed here
After your buying project is created, now you can add listing / price record to it in order to find a better deal to beat your listing or sell its information to other buyers who try to replicate your deal.
Look for your target vehicle online and grab its URL (link on browser), we recommend you to use links that has vehicle specific details (VIN, MSRP and price quotes), such as the one below
After target vehicle page is available, go directly to Add Listing section of the project you just created in previous step
Fill out Add Listing form with vehicle name, vehicle URL and other vehicle details info found in previous step, and click Add Listing
button at bottom of form
You may sell information of your deal by checking List information you enter in Keep These Private section below for sale
box and set a price yourself. All price records on sale must satisfy listing criteria, otherwise listing will be removed from sale.
You may also create a dedicated mailbox by checking Create dedicated mailbox
box in the form. After submitting the form, bagent_barbXXXX@buytition.com
in this case was created, all you need to do is sit back and wait for dealer emails to come in.
The created buyer agent will show up in the Buying Project page as shown below or can be accessed here. Buyer may add any number of such Buyer Agents and modify them to keep track all target vehicle and negotiation at one place so the buying project becomes buyer's buying worksheet.
After Email Buyer Agent (EBA) is created, a Proxy Email address is created. The EBA proxy email is a powerful tool that enables easy three-way communication between project author, EBA author, and seller i.e. anybody else.
Let's say I am helping Project Author on this buying project, and I created this EBA, very likely Project Author and I need to communicate with each other, for that purpose, I simply write an email to EBA proxy email address, in this demo bagent_barbXXXX@buytition.com
, and send it, and EBA will forward that email to project author. And vice versa, if project author does the same, I will receive that email from him/her.
The difference between this type of communication vs seller communication is that for seller communication, you always need to reply an incoming email, but for peer-to-peer communication, you start from scratch and send it.
A while after an EBA is created, EBA author will start receiving emails from seller, which will be copied to project author as well if he/she was not EBA author.
In this demo, I entered a Gmail address, so it arrives at Gmail inbox like this. You see the email was forwarded from bagent_barbXXXX@buytition.com
which is proxy email I created in previous step. In this email, dealer quoted a price of $44,954 for my target vehicle.
I reply it directly from my Gmail mobile app and made a counter-offer of $2000 lower than dealer's quoted price. If project author is a different person, he/she may reply to same email as well and I will be copied with that reply so I am notified that project author has replied.
>
Dealer respond to my price offer and I am ready to make a deal with dealer. Additionally, you may notice the red circled here
link at top right of screenshot below, it is exactly the target vehicle link you have added to Email Buyer Agent earlier. That link is attached by Email Buyer Agent to the bottom of every dealer email you receive as buyer, so you may keep track of purpose of this conversation.
Take for example the dedicated mailbox bot2270@buytition.com
that comes with this price offer for Audi Q7 buying group:
bot2270@buytition.com
was created with the price record of 2021 Audi Q7 in MD, but it can also be used to negotiate deal with multiple dealers, simply use that address to start negotiation with any Audi dealers and email messages will be viewable and reply-able on this website by all group members.For creator of the buyer agent, after login, you will be able to check out your own private information such as proxy email address, your full name, a link to email messages between you and dealer through this buyer agent and a button to turn on / off this buyer agent with one click.
If email exist for any target vehicles, Buyer Worksheet will show total count of emails (received and sent) at lower right corner for that vehicle. For 2020 Volv XC60
vehicle in this example, we have total 34 emails see below
Clicking on email icon will show you all 34 email messages between myself and dealer regarding this vehicle.
Turn on or off buyer agent with one click, one click to unsubscribe from all messages from sender without worrying about filling out complex form to unsubscribe
or turn on
