You know, we do have enough experience around here with the negative Preorder B.S. that some of us have been experiencing since March of 2014 that we can get together, form a company and announce that we're now taking 1st batch & 2nd batch orders on our newly designed W.G.Y.M.M. (WE'VE GOT YOUR MINING MONEY.) 1.2nm ASIC chipset with a power envelope of .7 watts per GH/s. ...and stress "they must hurryc to get their orders in because there is only a limited number of batches left".
Then watch these thieving, greedy companies fallover themselves to open up their coffers (with our refund monies) in a rush to best the competition to place their preorders. We can give them a time delivery frame of Christmas (won't tell them which one though) while using their money (which is actually ours & then some) to open up a Co-location site to pool all of our mining equipment purchased from credible vendors & mine away. When reach or approach the delivery time we can offer them refunds of 10-14 business days that we would then deem as qualifying business dates.
For the vendors that commence to complain we can offer them virtual images of chips that we would virtually use to mine for them until...
Well you guys can fill in the rest.

Just kidding for those that have been burned as bad as I have been by KFC, Bfl or any other one of these big thieves, that would actually consider this or something like it.

hahaha too true...i hate to see people getting burnt in the pre-order game and it makes me even more angry when certain manufacturers do not abide by laws regarding consumer rights or refund obligations. However there is one quick answer to this STOP... I say it again STOP just STOP STOP STOP STOP STOPPPPP clicking yes to pre-order nonsense. All you are really doing is locking your money up for 6-12 months and promoting this as common practice in the mining industry. If a manufacturer wants to make a miner then they can use their own bloody money or seek capital by selling shares or acquiring loan financing or by playing the lotto for all I care. If they still can't find the money then they just should not be manufacturing miners at all.

+1 so agree with ya, but the sad fact of the matter is....people can't stop...its like a addiction they have to feed, they see all those huge first success stories from avalon preorder and think every preorder will be just like that...I try n only buy 2nd hand cause i know for sure how much hash i'll get and when so i can actually make ROI, which i have done

i did gamble on some 2nd scrypt HW and wishing i didn't, also gambled on some hosted GAW HW too...oh well ya win some, ya lose some
