Something 'exciting' might bring more interest. 
Just a thought.

The last time I remember someone suggesting a book to purchase via a "bid club", it was Phantom Lady 17, and hardly anyone expressed interest in joining. I can't think of a more exciting book than that - but maybe that one was too expensive. (And in the end, it did get purchased & scanned by a private individual)

Yoc:
I think I heard Dell4C had one for something no?
Walt Disney Comics #1?

JonTheScanner:
I've participated in these in the past for various issues.  A couple I recall are one of the last three issues of All American (when it cover-featured Johnny Thunder but hadn't yet become AAWestern.  Another was one of the last few issued of Advs into the Unknown.

This tends to work when someone spearheads it for some particular issue and not as a general "club".  Unless the group is close-knit I suspect it would degenerate into "discussions" about which comics to pursue. 

narfstar:
$1300 for Colossus #1would be my first group buying project

Yoc:
Whoa, talk about a pricey book!
And if it's like Green Giant you'd be shocked at how bad it was printed.
Or so I've heard that about GG.
