Drop was cool when it was Massdrop.

Yeah, the original model of Massdrop was really cool. "Group buying niche items to get a better deal than what you can get by buying them individually" was such a great idea, and provided a way for small manufacturers to reach a larger number of customers at once.

Now everything I see on there is readily available from the original maker, Drop just has them with a Drop-themed color scheme. I don't care about Drop as a brand, I only liked it as a tool for buying hard-to-get things from smaller businesses. But it seems to be working really well for them, so the original Massdrop won't be coming back anytime soon. :(
