I sure feel sorry for all of those stupid people that preordered Big Bang Bar at $4500.
They deserve what they get!

Quoted from hawkeye11:That's funny. Obviously today we have different opinions on Gene. But back then I don't think any of us doubted him. Were in a different world Kim. lol
I was just being sarcastic to those that call other people stupid and wish for them to lose money on Predator. What a shitty sentiment. And my guess is those same people also hate BBB owners for being very successful. (jealousy)
I don't want to take us off topic but that's not correct about Gene. A lot of people doubted him and at one point he even went underground and cut off communication. Gene went long past his due date. An angry group of owners had risen and RGP was vibrant with arrogant chants of, rip off and it will never be built. Remember, When Pigs Fly?
There's a lot of similarities here and with the other pre-order fiasco's. BBB, TBL, WOZ, MMr. So far a lot of people have gotten angry and Pinside has exploded with fear mongering but no ones been financially hurt.
And here's a crazy thought. What if Kevin refunds everybody's money?
Quoted from lowepg:So, my post wasn't to cast aspersions on ALL projects,
And as is the norm on Pinside, this thread went sideways. They always do.
But back on topic for your pleasure, read sd_tom's comment as I believe he summarizes it very well.
Quoted from sd_tom:Argue the pitfalls of pre order all you want but I don't see PayPal being better or worse than anything else..by all means link it to your credit Card vs checking account though just as a layer of protection.
Quoted from dung:running a company out of his garage
I get your meaning but...
