Check that there is demand for the item you wish to buy on the mailing list and on IRC.
Wait a few days - you may find that a member already has a similar item that they'll be willing to donate.
If you think there is suitable demand then set up a pledge.

Well done - you've reached your target! Soon you can buy things. First you need to get the money together:

 Well done - you've reached your target! Soon you can buy things. First you need to get the money together:
-* Money should be paid into the same Hackspace account into which members pay their subscriptions. Items will then be purchased from this account.
+* pledge holder collects money from pledgers
-* Create a short reference for pledgers to use when transferring money. This will be used to correlate bank account credits to their respective pledges. Some examples:
-** ''ROUTER, PCBETCH, LASERCUT''
-* Mail the list and call in the pledges.
-** Be sure to include the reference and mention that money should be paid into the Hackspace account.
