If pinball enthusiasts get swindled out of money, I say it's your own damn fault. We're not preordering Corvettes or Harley's here guys. If you give someone $, as a deposit for something before a product is even shown, there is ALWAYS risk of not getting exactly what you expect, especially in a timely manner. There are mistakes made every day in business and pinball is no exception. Take a step back for a minute and realize the right and wrong way to do things.

There are customer expectations for ESTABLISHED reputable companies as well as a company that's the brand new. If there is no history, you are taking a much bigger risk with any $ at all.

Did we not learn anything from the AMC Delorion? Or the Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation? Pinball enthusiasts need to pay closer attention in history class dammit!

If you don't want to support a business, don't listen to them and ignore them...

Certianly don't give them a deposit before they prove themselves.

I don't see anyone banning Jersey Jack (or his machines) from any events after he supposedly stole millions from his previous employer. I guess that's ok?

God, when will people realize there is no such thing as a pinball "preorder". It's a promise so easily broken that it means NOTHING.
