You sir, are an idiot.  What, you're all butt-hurt because you didn't have the IQ to understand the original GB premise, and after asking the same questions repeatedly and now not being able to participate you want to get back at James?  The fact that you question everyone in that thread's (presumably including my) existence is pathetic.  If you really think so, PM a moderator and have them check IP's, or actually do something to prove it beyond just calling people "plants".  You are only emberassing yourself, and now bringing other reputable forum members down the same rabbit hole.  Since your last post here, the order for the S3's has been made and paid (on schedule I might add), and there was never really any grounds for suspicion of a scam apart from your manipulating of quotes.  If James could have ordered earlier, he would have. How exactly would you run a group buy, other than by collecting funds, buying hardware once it comes available, and changing your price if need be based on the manufacturer's fluctuations?  You criticize his change in price, yet Bitmain has come from over .75 BTC down to now .64, and the hashrate from 481 GH/s to 441.  How was any of that in his control?  You are a fucking troll, you have no life, and no business trying to conduct any kind of commerce that requires higher functioning than fastening velcro shoes. FUCK OFF.

As for the other members supporting rodeoclown's claims.  I advise you to read some of his posts to gain a glimpse of his capacity:

Now that he realizes he doesn't have a chance at participating in a quality group buy, he is trying to figure out how to host an S3 himself:


This thread, where he is looking to buy a free annonymous email account?

and other threads where he is simply relentless and petulant to the host/OP.  Think about who is making the accusation before taking it seriously.  James has been a bit inconsistent, in that his price and how he was to run his GB has been all over the place, but he is also quite new to it and has only made changes to help out the participants and keep everyone happy.  I don't envy his position, in that he has to try to keep courteous with difficult people like rodeoclown.
