Not trolling but gotta ask. When they failed to deliver the first time, you could have asked for a refund, put all that into BT which was still like 11 bucks and made all this awesome profit. See how hindsight works in other ways? Life lesson dont take money you cant afford to lose (needed for a weddding) and put it into RISKY propositions.
Well, when I made the purchase, I made a commitment to receiving BFL merchandise. I can only hope that the people who operate their business operate with a similar sentiment when it comes to following through.
How do you know what you can and cannot afford? We can afford to all die for that matter.
The proposition itself isn't risky. It was the reliance on information given by a seemingly reputable (at least consistant) company. The deception is a legal liability that still holds value in my favor. At least until they vanish or squander all the money. I don't plan on making money off of that, but it is something that only strengthens my original prepurchase -turned "investment", as well as my complaint.
