Might be some meaningless crap they sign like non compete clauses etc. I can't imagine that there's anything too exotic that they could do without violating antitrust laws. Nearly all buyers groups are regulated by the almighty dollar / commit / buy in over basically anything else.

ETA: there are smaller shops in New England that are even in these groups but they're harder to spot because they're not that common. Most don't want to put up the up front capital.
