Actually I think of it differently
What annoys me more than anything is people on eBay/or here selling pre orders for boxes. When the person buying has no chance of actually knowing if the box will ever arrive at his/her door because the original company doesn't allow a change of shipping address,
There is enough scamming in this industry already. I do not want to see our boxes or queue placements being used at all to scam anyone out of money and if i can spend a few minutes to fight that I will.
If this offends anyone then so be it. I would rather that than have you lose your coins to someone who claims to have a queue placement, or a full pre order who in actual fact does not.
After payments are made and the queue does indeed become longer. We know that queue trading is gong to happen and as we cant stop it the best we can do is try to make sure no one gets scammed.

Ah, but we're not at the stage yet of paid orders, are we?
If you plan to deliver a timely product, such scamming shouldn't be much of an issue. It's only when the manufacturer has been holding on to payments for months and not delivering anything that you can excuse people getting itchy feet.
Representatives from your company have previously said you expect a high-drop out rate from pre-orders (I don't have the link but I know it's been repeated in the main KnC thread several times). But now, if you've given people with an early pre-order who were never serious about buying your products a green light to sell their spot in the queue (which is most of your pre-orders if your earlier admission is correct), you are only inviting a frenzy of further speculation.
I think rewarding speculation at this point is only going to pour fuel on the fire.
Good luck.
