They've taken months 11 days of abuse on the forums - finally have shown their true colours by bringing kit to the marketplace.
Any serious customer into btc Avalon diehard or greed-stricken newbie will have the coin to hand or made arrangements to have coin in time for batch#2
Demand will be far higher than the size of batch 2 - so they can cut out any headaches and ask for upfront payment.
Fixed that for ya.
heh - if you look take the time to look back (and using the excuse that there's no need to look back - because you "know") - it's been far more than just 2 days.
Look at bASIC's refunds - it took time because orders aren't clean or simple - it's a nest of vipers where somebody orders one, then another, paying part with one thing (btc), another part with something else (like a cc). Allowing "deposits" adds complexity - somebody wants to pay 10%, somebody else wants to pay 20%..
When it comes to fulfilment - you then need to chase up & reconcile who's done what.
In business - every customer feels they're special, that their case is unique. From the other side of the fence - a business that has to deal with 600 "unique" customers ends up wasting time.
