BCNMs can be a crapshoot, but they're salvageable if you have a group you can trust.

do a sell/split.

agree beforehand that all big ticket items will be sold and then the money shared evenly between all participants. between 6 guys you're bound to get SOMETHING worth some good money. that way you avoid the issue of potentially having 5 guys get nothing and watching the sixth walk away with millions.

downside, you REALLY need to be able to trust these people. i only do sell splits with long time friends and ls mates, never as a pickup group deal. if you're just starting out you may not have a reliable network.
