How long are you willing to wait for a pre-order?

Id say im buying mods now more as a collector. I have a couple i use daily and are very content with. BUT if it was a mod I was buying as my first mech or even an upgrade to my existing mod, definitely not. I feel your pain thought. It is frustrating.

There it is!!!... A "Noob" would shake his head and walk away... Sadly, he doesn't "get it"... But not us "collectors" ... we know "things"
The kinds of things you learn from these very forums... Hummmm... When did I become a "collector"???

This is a symptom of collecting "high end" mods... supply and demand... Think about it...
The Chinese didn't "kill" the high end market will poor quality stuff (not all of it anyway)...

They simply took advantage of the market "demand"... that WE created.. Well played China...
Have they changed the "market"??? Probably, but that might not be a bad thing... maybe it's too soon to tell...
New mods are coming to market every day, and I'm still waiting...

My point would be ...is this (see above quote) an acceptable business model? Would you feel differently if you knew this "waiting period" was completely unnecessary? I can't say one way or the other but..... One would think that after a year...or two...even a small company would find a way to keep up with demand...

No, this is not a reasonable or acceptable business model.
It is a growing trend in this industry to use this flawed way of doing business.
Too many new people jumping on the mech mod cash bandwagon before they are able to operate a business properly
The thing is, the buyers embrace this disaster waiting to happen.

Better planning would have the product available before offering it up for sale.

None of these companies have any track record.


If you didn't have the funds or forethought to actually have the product made before asking for my money, then I cannot accept that you are operating a properly manages business.
Therefore, I cannot trust that you will complete the transaction on time.

Ask any ONI owners how they like their exclusive mod.
