You do realize that Terrahash doesn't have "actual machine in hand" (as you put it), and you are completely mitigating their risk for their chip order, right? So you have no qualms about Terrahash selling a preorder for something they don't yet have, but you're kicking and screaming when someone else tries to pull the same thing? ::palmface::

Let's get something straight here. No one is pushing anyone's order back. Terrahash was very clear at the beginning that orders would start being placed at 9AM Pacific. Your spot in line is where it is, and the only reason there are orders in front of you is because you were slow to the punch. Seriously, if someone managed to place 10 separate orders before you, are you really surprised you weren't fast enough to get into the first batch?

Let's keep it all straight here. A) I would hardly call the way I stated my opinion 'kicking and screaming'...

B) Yes I do realize that. Do you realize that by re-selling the pre-order for something the vendors don't yet have, you are adding and passing along another layer of risk in that equation? So it is not really the same thing. My comment about selling the machine in hand was specifically for order re-selling, not the idea of a pre-order itself. So the actual end user will now assume the risk of hoping TH delivers on time like everybody else while paying more for the same hardware, and that I disagree with that is all that I have said. At least when someone re-sells a machine in hand, the buyer knows exactly when to expect delivery. They will still pay more for it but the one re-selling it should assume the risk of waiting on TH to get it out the door IMHO. Some of these guys might actually do better by waiting to re-sell a machine in hand.... Wink

C) Who the hell am I anyway?? No reason to start any kicking and/or screaming just because I disagree. I obviously can't stop anyone from selling or buying the pre-orders, is there some reason that I should not be allowed to just have an opinion?
