Quoted from metallik:You didn't buy anything from anyone, you sent someone preorder money. And yea, it's normal due diligence to research something like a brand new pinball company, considering the failures of certain other brand new pinball companies, not to mention jpop himself.
If you're claiming to have done no research before sending money, you're pretty much admitting you're either lazy or stupid.
So are you calling those little old ladies stupid for not doing there research? Certainly they should have before investing their life savings into a company like DR!
FYI I do get what you are saying from my perspective as I research the hell out of stuff. My friends have told me many times you waste your time.
So bottom line I learned over the years, very few people do well their due diligence including those little old ladies!
