I offer my services to you as an escrow agent and I would be willing to demo a product or 2 for you.
I do this for many new builders of gear.
I am USA based and I am very well known on this website.
I offered services to squirrels and the acorn they were going to sell they did not take any aid or help from me and have been plagued by delays.
I would hate for anyone to have these issues ordering preorders from you.
I would also hate for you to be a scammer and selling fake preorders.
We are new to bitcoin talk but we are not a new company.
A group buy works differently to a pre-order. A group buy is effectively one large order placed by lots of smaller buyers in order to get a better price and ensure that a product is made available to those who would not normally have access. This order must be paid upfront. A better option for all parties is not using an escrow, but paying via credit card which offers better protection for consumers even after the products have been delivered. I do appreciate the offer though, anything that protects our community is a good thing, as long as you aren't the scammer of course
