Found a paper on group buying:
http://www.hbs.edu/units/tom/seminars/2002/kanand.pdf
There are a lot of group buying sites mentioned in the appendix.
However, we may need to check whether the group buying sites are still available. Some may have closed down.
Hope this helps.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
M$Thank you you for the info. I signed up and I am excited about this ground floor opportunity :)

The new daily deals site in India, CityOffers has started with this unique feature called Prepay Wallet. To buy deals from the site instead of filling in your credit card, debit card details every time ,one can add money one time in their Prepay Wallet and then he/she can use that money till he/she is out of it. One can think of it like a prepaid mobile card.So if you put in Rs 1000 today you can use it till you buy the coupons worth Rs 1000! The site is here. http://www.cityoffers.in/

M$It's more like a D.I.Y. group buy site just like how eBay is a D.I.Y. auction site.
It lets you start group buys for anything you want, whereas, Groupon decides what to do a group buy on and only lets you choose from what they offer.
Another big difference is that GotoGroupBuy is free and Groupon charges the merchant/business a big commission.

This site is doing pretty well in India and Singapore. www.koovs.com
Really exciting deals, very good execution and they have explored many verticals. Not like most sites providing discounts mostly on food and beauty. They have explored into adventure sports, fashion, fine dining, and learning activities.
They sure are a promising lot.

We have a local site here in Oklahoma that is rapidly gaining popularity: wimgo.com This site is owned and maintained by a local news company that has operated the Daily Oklahoman newspaper and News 9 television news network in this state for some time. While they may not be competitive with Groupon on a large scale, they most certainly are in Oklahoma. In addition, I find it very interesting that a newspaper publishing company is jumping on the web content/web advertising bandwagon in such a unique way.
