How will the pre-orders work? Immediate payment or...?

We have received a request for orders that far exceeds the amount of Avalon chips that we have already ordered. The money raised from pre-orders will be used to order more Avalon chips, to ensure a constant supply of our products.

Understandable, but this

Our website will start taking orders starting Tuesday June 18th, 2013 at 9:00 am Pacific Standard Time.

and this

We are very hopeful that by next week we will have a working demo board ready.

bug the shit out of me.

Next week Monday? Next week after pre-orders are done?

Why not wait until you have at least a working model before taking pre-orders? The most you will lose if you guys can complete a demo by next Friday is a what, a week?

Not trying to be an asshole, simply want to understand the rush to open pre-orders.
