When I recently bought a Yubikey the pricing per unit was the same 
whether 1 was
purchased or 1000s.  There appears to be no "bulk" price.

Ultimately ARIN providing them would just eventually get reflected in 
our fees so
as ARIN members we'd still end up paying for them anyway, no advantage 
to even
doing a group purchase.
