Have you ever been in a group buy? and if so were you happy with the results?
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/groupbuys ?
or are you talking about the subscription system?

It's up to you. You can try to reserve a bundle as they are released, but the slots often fill up very quickly, so a subscription is the best bet. Most hosts do both, they have a certain number of people who are regular subscribers, and then other folks ask to join in on specific buys.

If you want an automatic "subscription" to every bundle then ask .MAR. add you on his list. You will need to pay the bundle in 48h and let him know as soon as possible if you don't want some of the bundles, else you will be removed from the list.
And applying works for every other bundle, they fill really quickly sometimes, if there are good or new games in the bundle. :p

Yeah, there is a whole Steam group dedicated to that:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/groupbuys/discussions
There are multiple hosts and if you plan to get a bundle on a regular basis, you can even subscribe to get a guaranteed spot.

Create a thread on Group Buys similar to the others, and that's pretty much wait, and then you just have to wait people want in :)
Bad bundle won't get many entries, good bundles will have always..
Hope I helped :) Speaking about my personal group buy is a great guy who reserves me every IG bundle there is, I have 24h after the bundle goes to "cancel" it, probably buy 4/5, and he just tells me the price of the HH, I dont have to worry about reserving, choosing, going fast as others etc, only sent the payment and done :)

Here, here's a thread of the last bundle, try to contact him and tell him you want to subscribe/reserve every bundle :) After HH he sends you a PM with the price and the PP in $ and €, for example i'm on € so it's "cheaper" for me, for example if i payed 1.1$ to a guy paypal would take me 1,1€, instead he makes the "conversion" and I pay 1.05€ for example, I know its a few cents but multiplicate that for a few bundles and yes you really save up some :)

There are still several users that do group buyers, the group "Group Buys" was the begining and still is the bigger one with lots of members doing group buys, i still use that group daily as many of you guys talking here, is just that some users like Predator or me and many more just decided to have a private group for thenself is more clean and easy to run ;)

Since you seem to be in Israel take note that you cannot use the Friends and Family option to reduce the payment cost (0.3$ + 5.2% max per payment I believe).
The person I subscribed with (which someone above me already mentioned :) ) allows me to pay a monthly advance so at least that 0.3$ isn't multiplied by the number of bundles saving you just a bit more.
I used to skip most IG bundles once, but now when the max price comes to about ~1.2$ at most it's a no brainer as long as there are a few games I don't own.

I just got in on a bundle purchase that finalized today.
18 discounted indiegala bundles for $1.55 - 0.88c each. ~6-12 games each bundle.
Total payment was $19.73 (Plus PP fees of 13c)
Discount that further with the card fodder later collected from market sales
You can crunch the pennies if you want. It was well worth it. :)
I've Pm'd the seller with your profile url. He will contact you if he wants.
GL.

and @Popularan below. I messaged the seller and linked him to this thread.
If he wants more buyers at this point. I'm too new to the group to be doing any invites. Sorry.
He also seems to limit his group buys to indiegala.com bundles.
Fwiw, here was my purchase order. I activated 80-90% of the games for myself.
Will get around to gifting/trading the leftovers, eventually.
The Odyssey Bundle 0,95
Indie Evolution 0,96
Hump day #25 1,55
Hump day #26 1,19
Hump Day #28 - IEd 1,33
Freddy's Halloween 1,33
Hazard Reboot 0,85
Extinction 1,18
Friday Special #42 1,18
Monday Motivation #11 1,03
Power Rage 0,88
Indie Rush 1,03

Friday Christmas Bundle 0,97
xxl (XXL Winter Bundle) 1,03
Hump Day #32 1,18
Monday Motivation #13 0,88
Friday Slaughter Bundle 1,18
Total: $19.73 + (.13c Paypal fee)
And DEAR GOD... It took forever to go through them all and organize my extras list.
But it was worth it. :)
Its too much work to list the games here, but you can look up these bundles by plugging the name of each one in this search. Most the threads have nice charts for each bundle. https://www.steamgifts.com/discussions/deals

well, i've been hearing about this group purchasing stuff a couple of days ago and i got interested, the happy hour thing apparently works very well if a large group decides on a person to buy the bundle as soon as it comes out and then x10 for 40 bundles at HH, the buyer makes alittle extra money and the customers get the bundle for super cheap, so it got me thinking, do any of you know a guy that is currently doing that?
would be immense help if you could refer me or give me more info.
would be even better if you know a guy that is currently looking for customers to split the bundle with him for a long term relationship.
thanks and have an obligatory potato.
